I figure most of the the time people use those abbreviations is because they have been using instant messanger while writing up a post. Sometime I will be working on a paper while talking to friends and find myselft typing in IM slang.

I respect people who speak other languages as they all manage to speak english better than I could speak there language, so I don't want to jump on the insult there english skill wagons, though sometime people will write something incomprehensible. For example, our cleaning ladies wrote my mother a note that said: "Dear mrs. barbara, i have a accident in basement and broked your hay(yes, like the stuff horses eat). I am very sorry...." Now it turns out they broke a lamp. Anyway, Denis obviously doesnt speak perfect english, so I don' t think he deserves any commemoration for that, though he definatly speaks better english than I could probably ever speak another language along with most here, never mind what they can currently speak. He also makes sense with what he writes. As far as any critisim, I believe it is OK, just make it constructive. You dont have to always worry about people feelings, but you shouldn't be trying to hurt them(most of the time).

Now the people who really piss me off are those who type in intentionally broken english to sound "ghetto," they deserve a smacking(theres this 17 year old rick kid on acurazine whose parents bought him a 35k car and are thinking of getting him something even nicer who says things such as: "man, dat was off d hook man, I wuz goin so fast, jeez," Literally typing Dat, d, wuz, wut, yo, etc.

Seems Driller may have had a point.......Are you guys getting your chains yanked?



What happened to drillers comment??? Apparantly someone has taken offense.

Those that have been around here for a while, know that "Denis" isn't really Denis.

Watch and see, but those who know better won't be falling for it.

Symbolism at it's finest Emmo.
It appears that Buttlint's comment was deleted too.



 

It takes a lot of work to appear to be an idiot on purpose.






 Yank too much...........
