So, imagine what people would think of you if you actually talked like that...

Just a thought.

P.S. Do NOT go there!... I mean talking about the wide-screen TV.

XD That's hilarious! I knew someone who did that.. He stopped when we all wrote death threats and gave them to him at lunch, as a joke. I think he got the message though ^^ But man... You find the strangest things on the internet..

I saw that yesterday on www.gprime.net. Absolutely Hilarious. I watched it like 3 times it was so funny.

Anyway, I do say like "Rofl" and "Omfg" in real life, but occasionally. I don't say it like "Are O Eff Ell" but "Rawful".

The saddest thing is that I knew someone (not a friend, just someone who worked near me) who actually walked around saying "pwnd".... I mean, he said "PONED!" and he wasn't joking.

    This coming from the person who has the urge to say "lawl" and "berb"... >.> <.< XD

    Like I mentioned on the other boards, I thought this was freaking hilarious. And, so did my friend, who loves saying "STFU" on IRC. XD

    I can basically block out any stupid talk like "pwnd". What I cant block out is when people add a z to something like "lolz".

    I find myself asking, Do you even know what lol stands for? and what the hell would you make it sound plural?

    Oh, I'll say "ell oh ell" many times, just to make fun of people who use it. I'm not a fan of interenet jargon, aside from 'lol' and 'lmao', its just a convenient way to express laughter. I tolerate it enough, but it really bugs me, cause it makes you look, well, dumb.

    Take the following:
    pwn: the typo that time forgot. Come on, the correct key is RIGHT there!

    ur: okay, are TWO letters more REALLY too much for your fragile little fingers?

    kewl: meh, I tolerate it. I think of it as a different pronunciation: keh ool. But still, /slap

    orz: okay, its really japanese for "d'oh" I'm told. But, are you japanese? No? Then say "d'oh" you dip.

    w: I'm told it's short-hand for 'watine', japanese for laughter, or simply their equivilant for our 'lol'. I hate it for the same reason as 'orz'. Unless you're japanese, using it makes you a wanna-be.

    1337: OMG, its so wrong on so many levels. It looks like 'leet', okay. So you use numbers to look cool? No, you look really dumb. Leet, is just short-hand for 'elite', but isn't real, 'leet' does not exist in the english language. 1337, those are numbers, one thousand three hundred and thirty seven. 1337 IS NOT EVEN A WORD.

    Plain and simple, it just annoys me, or REALLY annoys me, in the case of 'orz' and 'w' from people who can't speak japanese, and thinking letters are an acceptable substitute for words.

    I don't know what 'watine' is, but I guess you're referring to 'warau', which means 'laugh' in Japanese. orz isn't really "d'oh" either, it's actually a just 3 letters which represent a person who has fallen over.

    I'm not opposed to anyone using any kind of abbreviation they like, in moderation... but, when it gets to the point that the content becomes unintelligible... then that's when I have a problem with it. Lack of punctuation, or pauses between words to denote the end of one sentence and the beginning of another -- things like that bother me more.

    Other than that though, I actually quite like most of the abbreviations. I find it hilarious when its being put under the microscope, and handled in a lighthearted manner as examplified by this video, really... ^^

    I'm not looking to correct anyone, but rather to share the information I have at hand to prevent any further misconceptions. ^^

    You're probably just joking, but either way, I... don't send /tells to people I don't know. d>.> <.<b
