What the FUCK is up with all these new-age fucking idiots who talk in abbreviations?! I don't get it!!!
If you want to talk to me, FUCKING TALK TO ME-- DON'T FUCKING 'SLANG' AT ME, I DON'T UNDERSTAND YOUR NONSENSICAL LANGUAGE!!
What the fuck does 'wats ^' mean?!?! Who is this "Wat", is it a rat? And why is this supposed rat spewing symbols at me? OH, I GET IT. That's the illiterate way of saying "What's up?".
FOR GOD'S SAKE IS IT THAT HARD TO SPELL?! IF YOU FAILED HIGHSCHOOL HOW DO YOU STILL OWN A FUCKING COMPUTER?! I'M HUMAN, I'M NOT SOME SORT OF FUCKING SCANNER THAT NEEDS A CODE TO TALK TO!! AND FROM THE LOOKS OF IT, YOU'RE NOT A ROBOT EITHER!!!
Grrr. Why are there letters on a computer again? Ah, yeah, to SPELL LIKE A HUMAN BEING.

...sorry, MSN has been pissing me off lately-- especially when the illiterate ignore my away message. WHY DOES AN AWAY MESSAGE EVEN EXIST?! FOR YOU TO FUCKING LEAVE ME ALONE WHEN I'M BUSY!!

er.... wow. Crazy angry rant of death?
I agree people should type the whole word. "Wat" and "what" take the same amount of time to type out, even if you type like a chicken.

Man I would have to agree with you honestly. I mean there are times when not to use slang and it drives me up the wall to see it. Normally I don't know what it means. I mean yea, I use lol but then its shorter than writing out laughing out loud or rolling on the floor laughing. I mean it means the same DAMN thing, but then again, it could mean several different things all at once. I'm not sure why people who are illiterate think that people with higher IQs or understands the English language can understand the lower and most interesting ways of saying something....
I'm not even sure if that made any sense that last sentence there, but oh well. At least I spelled out every word....

I just had a conversation with some people in a class on Friday about this.
I absolutely cannot stand when people type like that. Even on the rare occasion that I text, I type everything out with capitals and punctuation. The only abbreviations I use are Lol, Lmao, STFU, Wtf, and the occasional OMG thrown in for comedic effect.
Most of the time when people try to talk to me that way, I either ignore them, or ask them what the heck they are saying. It may be a bad attitude for someone on the staff to have, but if you're not going to take the time to speak to me in a proper manner, then why should I take the time to bother with you? Being the nice person I am, I often overlook this to help members of the site, but it's' rather nerve racking at times.

You don't have to be intelligent to spell but to spell you have to be intelligent. See. You're thinking of net speak. Not spelling. You don't have to be a computer to understand what "wats ^" means, you have to have common sense. Logic? Yes--use logic behind some words. If you can't use "wats ^" then don't use "OMG" or "WTF" or anything. Net speak if worse than not knowing how to spell. I can't spell worth crap, but that doesn't make me an idiot, it just means I have crappy spelling. Now, when roleplaying, I can understand wanting everything spelled out, and use spell check. Understandable. But on messengers--if they annoy you that much, just block them. I do it to my friends--they do that too much, I block them.
You can be very intelligent and still type like that--using net speak doesn't mean you're an idiot, it just means...well nothing. Shit, it took me eight years to learn how to spell supercalifragilisticexpialidocious right, and I think I still got it wrong. If you want to really get annoyed at someone, I'd get annoyed at the hypocrites.

Yes, I tolerate that kind of spelling in instant things like text messages or chat windows, but I definitely don't like it in a permanent form like a forum. I personally prefer to spell properly when I text, especially since predictive text makes it faster to spell properly, as 'wats' and 'WTFBBQ' aren't in the dictionary

There isn't any excuse for improper grammar or spelling these days. Most modern web browsers spell check anything you type, and will gladly point out anything you've misspelled.

Ditto. I agree with Village Alchemist on this one.
I remember I used to get flamed over Messenger for using "," at the end of a sentence instead of "." It was because my finger kept slipping and I couldn't be arsed to keep going back and correcting it. See, I type in a really strange way-- I only use two fingers (one on each hand). But, anyway (I've kinda' forgotten where I was going with this) -- Oh yeah. Looking back it's like ..really lame that someone would point out (and/ or actually get annoyed at) something like that. I mean.. seriously, wtf? GO MAKE IRL FRIENDS..Wow, repressed memories RIGHT THERE.
Anyway, aslong as I can understand the piece of writing, I couldn't give two shits if they used text-talk or whatever. Sure it feels good to be literate, but if it's only over Messenger then why be too fussy?

/me supports this rant.
I think theres maybe me, and a group of ten students max in my ENTIRE SCHOOL that always type properly.
Everyone else is all, "ey wats ^ d00d?" Like seriously, is not easier and quicker to type "Yo, whats up dude?" Not only will you maybe save some time, you won't look like a complete fucking idiot.

As far as txt-tlking goes. If you use it, I won't condemn you. I will, however, automatically assume you for a moron unless I have sufficient evidence otherwise (I have family that use it, and I tolerate the usage of it then, that's pretty much it). You might say, "Oh, Zhelir, you have proof right there that not everyone that uses it is an idiot!" Correct, but I don't care. Txt-tlk is abrasive and causes alcoholism (or maybe that's just me), and I have no problem hypocritically passing judgment on those I don't know based on how horribly they type.
I say hypocritically because I use only "Lol and Lmao," unless it's for comedic/ironic effect, in which case I might use any manner of words/phrases/abbreviations that reflect poorly on my education, but none the less, I use them, so when I pass judgment on people for it, I am being a hypocrite.
But that's the handy thing about not caring. You... don't care.
That is all.

LOL
Yeah, earlier in the Chat, there was one who was txt-tlking.
It annoyed me so much that I gave Xersist a katana and was just about to go after the one txt-tlking and slice their hands off for even doing it.
I mean, seriously, I see no reason for anyone to txt-tlk on Forums, or for that matter, on Chat.
Seriously, what the fuck? >_>;
This doth not make sense.

I use OMG and stuff. o.O and I am addicted to smilies. Which only started when I came here... *glares at the wide array of smilies blinking at her from the side of the screen*
At any rate, I get significantly annoyed when I see txt-tlk in texts even. I mean... come on, it takes longer to spell 'tlk' on a cell than to simply put smart-text on and text "Talk". That being said, I text without looking and sometimes text 'act' instead of 'cat' or things like that. Smart-Text can be harsh sometimes.

Lol, this is so funny to read. I resent being called a hypocrite for using Lol, Lmao, etc. I've learned a lot in my Sociolinguistics class this semester, and one thing that has come of it is that the internet has it's only dialect, in a sense. Typing horribly is much different than using the occasional silly abbreviation that is a staple of the internet lingo.
I do not automatically damn someone for talking/typing badly. But, as Zhelir said, I can't help but be a little prejudice. I do not think I am better than the person on the other side of my monitor, but I'm a little OCD about stuff like that, and will more than likely automatically tune someone out if they are talking/typing in a manner in which I can barely understand them. As I mentioned before, I think it's only common courtesy to show someone some respect by talking/typing in a way where they don't have to struggle to read it. I think I may be a little too OCD when talking about texting on a phone with all of this, and perhaps just a tiny bit when it comes to messengers and the chat, but not the forum. ESPECIALLY not RPing.

lmfao, Melfina.
Yes, I agree, this is so funny to read.
Txt-tlking on a phone, that I can understand, but on a forum with a computer? No way. I see no reason at all to be using txt-tlk.
Unless you're using an iPhone or PSP to access the website?
Meh. In any case... I rather suspect that txt-tlk drives most of us insane when we know that said user is on a computer and such.
