lol fuck that.

I spend so much time writing for my course where I'm scrutinesed to all fuck for spelling, that when it comes to forum whoring last thing I care about is spelling and gramar and shit.

I'M RE-SHAPING THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE DAMN IT!!! .... Nah Im just ruining it

[ghetto kitty]

finally, we agree on something.

not to mention the fact that even dictionaries etc are acknowledging text speak and the fact that some of this grammar is not necessary to convey meaning.

grammar nazis should get a new hobby, or perhaps a life.

Well, I'm sure you've all seen that thing that says "you only see the end of the word and can decipher it" and then it turns out all written fucked up but it's still really easy to understand?

I think theres a line.

A friend at work says "C' B' F'," when he's feeling lazy, instead of "can't be fucked" and it took me ages to figure out that he was talking internet to me.

In written conversation, fine, language I feel can be written as it is spoken and therefor should have some sway with gramar, but if I was writing a peice to be published professionally, as in a book manuscript, then I'd scrutinise the spelling and gramar and read over it and re read to make sure it sounds ok when it's spoken allowed and reads properly.

But when your on a forum, it's a bit like a group conversation. Like everyone sitting in a circle and talking but with the delay that comes with whats going on in the realities surrounding us. It's because of that that I don't think gramar really matters on the internet.

When I write professional e-mails to Dj's or venues etc I make sure the spelling and gramar is correct. If anything just out of respect for the person reading it. If you walk into a business meeting and talk like a dick they won't take you seriously.
If you talk like a well mannnered, polite gentlemen, they might hear you out. Same I think applies for the internet. Its all about the context of the speech and who it's directed at and their relationship to you.

[almax]

there was a study done recently where they tested text speak vs correct English and they found it much faster to read correct English.

here tis

[DBoy]

Surely that is all to do with what you are used too, youngens probably find txt easier to read as they have been brought up with it.

On another note and while we are here and I have your attention. Please use less font on your fliers, to many fonts = design fail. Just a suggestion.

For some reason, when gamers do it it IS cool. I think gamers are definately the coolest nerds out.


Like I work in a hardware factory. We have alot of codes to deal with etc. Something like 'CBF' COULD (In theory, or hyperthetically) stand for something like "Chrome brass finish" or some bullshit like that. Just like 'SSS' for us 'Satin Stainless Steel'. So in that context I find it just, stupid because, we're not facebook internet whores. We use it and shit, but everyone on the floor is basically like, normal. If you say 'CBF' to them, their first reaction won't be to assosciate it as something said on the net, because they're not on the internet, they're face to face. Say it to them via a keyboard and we'll get it straight away, because of the context it's used in, but when your in a different environment you adapt your mind to the surroundings, so CBF can be interepreted as something else, or not interpreted as anything at all but dribble.

Now when your around gamers, and your talking computer games, your talking internet context, so you relate the letters to the context they're used in.

I hate it when social fucks do it tho. They go out of their way in real life to make it look like they're so social, then they use internet slang because they spend so much time online they can't differentiate the two concepts.

The internet I feel should be used as a tool to ADVANCE your reality, not substitute it. Ie: Business contacts and shit, not fantasy games like World of War Craft. (Though I will admit, the concepts of those games is pure fucking genius, especially Dawn of War, and they're great fun so long as you can keep a game as a game and not make it a life style that effects your health like those people in China who play Second Life for so long to earn other people points that they die and shit.)

lol fuck that.

I'M RE-SHAPING THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE DAMN IT!!! .... Nah Im just ruining it

can't remember who said it, but along the lines of: 'the main purpose of an apostrophe in modern english is to warn the reader that an s is imminent'. was bitching about that with my mum over lunch the other day, good times. (she's a speech pathologist, so blame her for me being a grammar nazi.)

[NakedAge]

I used to see a speech therapist as a child because I spoke too fast

[mixtress]

speech pathologist Foo...what's that?

[mrj]

I think its an incredibely cruel joke that speech pathologist is actually quite difficult to say.

they could have just said speech doctor. getting people with lisps and stutters to say pathologist is incredibely unfair.

[same o]

ha!

[fooishbar]

speech pathologist Foo...what's that?

basically anything to do with speech. most of it's helping kids/people with brain injuries to speak properly, and especially with the latter doing things like reading through the newspaper to teach them how to read and deal with language again once they aren't young.

[NakedAge]

pathologist isn't a hard word to say. What, 4 sillybulls?

hehe silly-bulls.
