Internet Slang - Page 4

Well that's a pretty acidic colour, but at least I can read it now

Nothing wrong with gonna, wanna, seeya, gotta etc - after all, people talk like that - I see nothing wrong with emulating a chatty style in an informal setting - it's not like this is a solicitor's letter after all

And I don't care where you put your apostrophes or spelling either - if I can understand what you mean, then you've succeeded in getting your point across. Now if you were drafting legislation, it would be a different matter, but you're not - no need for anyone to get too pedantic about it [img]tongue.gif[/img]

No worries, we can teach you perfect English. We can mold you into a perfect being too. We ARE. We are FOUR. Our President is one? named Phil McCavity. He is a Guru of fine establishment, an intensive, intriguing history as well behind it all, emplore him, and he shall mold you, make you, accept you into "our" lives. All you have to do is sign on the dotted line under "I accept".

Can we drill you about this?

I used to use it all the time, but rarely do anymore as my typing has improved dramatically since then. Although I never did use it to the extent of i c u.

The only time I realy ever use it now is to make some passwords harder to guess... although I do sometimes still use bi instead of bye as force of habit...

I remember way, way back.... in the olden days when the pyramids were first built.... hee hee..... when AOL was new and I was chatting and using the abbreviations for phrases... they didn't have slang back then.

Anywho... I have discovered it is a youth thing. Us older folks are used to being in the system and writing correctly. More of a generation gap thing than anything else. Once in a while I will listen to the music that the kids are listening to to see if I am missing anything.

I guess it is not a bad thing in and of itself. Everything in moderation.

And the scariest part is dating yourself when you get older and living in a time warp... that is why I try to keep up with the new trends...nothing worse than not understanding the culture you live in.

My rant for the evening... thank you for your patience. [img]tongue.gif[/img] LOL
