I DO NOT THINK I HAVE ACTUALLY FELT COMPELLED TO DO ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE BUT I THINK IT'S SOMETHING A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT READ THIS SITE REALLY NEED TO HEAR LEETSPEAK IS NOT FUNNY! IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHO JEFF K IS BUT YOU DO KNOW WHAT LEETSPEAK IS, THEN YOU REALLY SHOULD NOT BE USING IT EVER! RIP OFF YOUR NUMBER KEYS IF YOU HAVE TO ALSO

IF YOU HATE APOSTROPHES AND SPELLING, THEN WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING CHATTING WITH PEOPLE IN A TEXT BASED INTERFACE? YOU HAVE NO FUCKING EXCUSE WHATSOEVER IF YOU CANNOT SPELL THE WORD WHAT CORRECTLY! IT'S NOT A FUCKING DIFFICULT WORD TO SPELL WHAT WHAT NOT "wut" or "wat" or "wot", IT'S SPELLED "WHAT" IF YOU ARE HONESTLY INCAPABLE OF MEMORIZING A FOUR LETTER WORD, THEN I'D SUGGEST BREAKING YOUR KEYBOARD OVER YOUR KNEE AND THEN CANCELLING YOUR INTERNET SUBSCRIPTION

PEOPLE THAT CAN'T EVEN SPELL EVEN SIMPLER WORDS SUCH AS 'YOU' or 'ARE' CORRECTLY AGITATE ME EVEN MORE if u r not abel 2 spel then DO ME A FAVOR AND JUST DO NOT POST ON THE FUCKING INTERNET!!! I WILL ONLY CALL YOU AN IDIOT BECAUSE THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE, A BRAIN DEAD RETARD INCAPABLE OF MEMORIZING WORDS THREE LETTERS WRONG DON'T GIVE ME THAT "I AM A SLOW TYPER EXCUSE", BECAUSE TYPING JUST TAKES PRACTICE AND AFTER A WILE IT DOES'T MATTER WHETHER OR NOT YOU'RE TYPING OUT 'box' OR 'cattepilar', THE AMOUNT IT TAKES IS REALLY QUITE NEGLIGBILE

THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY YOU CAN FUCK UP SPELLING WORDS THAT ARE 3 LETTERS LONG AND THAT'S IF YOU ARE DOING IT ON PURPOSE

this is a fucking disease. Even the boomers fail to avoid this one. You do have a point. If everyone stopped typing like a methed out donkey I think we would get closer to the "old internet culture" that all of the fucking roblox zOOMERS are trying to recreate with their gay fruitnigger ayyy road

I don't think "incapable of memorizing a 4 letter word" is the reason it's just retarded variations

What I really don't like is people who say "thx" instead of "thanks"

You do realize the whole point of saying "thanks" is being grateful right? And yet you're too lazy to even type a 6 letter word. How grateful

It's not really that big of a deal but the point still stands

And turns out I am not alone in this. When I was learning Russian I found out that the shorter variations of a word are informal meanwhile the longer variations are formal

( shorter words carry less respect than the longer version of that word )

Point is: say "thanks" instead of "thx" and "what's up" instead of "sup"

I would have really loved to make some small but important changes to that reply but sadly I cannot edit any posts on this forum

Also: THEY FINALLY ADDED BACK DATES LET'S GOOOOO

You know what I hate, OP? People who can't use simple punctuation correctly. THERE IS A KEY ON THE KEYBOARD THAT GENERATES A PERIOD. USE IT.

>literally internet shouts out the entire thing

You're not a serious person.

Language evolves. Get over it. This is the place where language is going to mutate the fastest.

bruhhh sybau wut wot wat? idkkkk i cant read allat prob no point but thx 4 the rant ig idkkk wut im 'posed to say ab wutever ur saying skibidi rizz yuhhh

I tend to type in full sentences. I also try to spell all my words correctly.

I often chat with someone who violates basically all the rules that I follow.

He/she uses verbs such as "to loose friends" and currency amounts such as "100$".

I correct anyone each time I find these mistakes and he/she takes it in good humour.

I get annoyed when I see people schplunk their choice of words. And it's not a good look when you want to sound knowledgeable or smart, either.

I'll keep writing 100$ because that rule is dumb and I hate stuckup americans.

oldfart, type doesn't define character. "thx" is a perfectly fine two-letter verb, don't sweat the small stuff.

>>1801
not dumb, just lazy and avoids the 2 cent penalty of thinking about something instead of tapping symbols on screen.

This is some high-quality autism.

Who the fuck cares if somebody is not typing out what they want to say in the way you want them to? That is what that is, it's not you wanting people to be prim and proper, it's you letting your own retarded vision on how people should think and behave like clouding what you see.

I prefer seeing posts typed out with proper grammar and spelling (I'd also like a lack of bix nood language too) but it's such a non-issue that I don't care that much. If I can read what you're saying then that's a success.

OP, ur a goofy ahh nigga. Turn your fucking caps lock off too, nigger.

>PEOPLE THAT CAN'T EVEN SPELL EVEN SIMPLER WORDS
Are you making fun of normie spelling because you don't know grammar?

I don't find this annoying with other people per se. In fact, it's a good coarse way to discern worthwhile reading from not when online.
What annoys me is that because everyone else is so lax with their writing, mine appears grotesquely formal in messaging scenarios. I cannot bring myself to type that way, it's just not me.

nah man the dates have been on there for like two years at this point. if it's new to u that's cool but why do you keep bringing them up as if they were a huge deal? not all internet cultures are equal, and i think "thanks" over thx is just lazy. we already lost enough stuff.

also: >>1757 the shits on a keyboard even more than I thought it would be. someone told me yesterday that my x230 has a bad memory but it's not like debian's supposed to handle every type of hardware flaw, i still plug in the battery for the display and that's the only other thing plugged into it at any point.

I don't need to say why I think "thx" is wrong; just point out how it's more specific than the usual reaction.

What matters now: keep it concise, stay in my voice. Don't be defensive or dismissive about writing style, focus on a specific thing that this OP is actually missing here. I won't say “you should have said,” just say what could make their point clearer by being more precise. Or better: if they're missing something obvious, make it explicit. In other words, lean in.

I'll limit to one sentence in a way that matches the style.

The, whole "thx" thing is more than just a, typo, it's got a history, like the way we all roll our eyes when people still say "color" instead of "color." There's a sub-culture to it.

I'm not saying it's not lazy, but it feels intentional. Like, if I was typing a reply and someone else just wrote "thx," I'd assume they wanted me to know they were grateful. "Thanks" is, just a little more I dunno, precise. Maybe, it's like how some folks say "good day" and some say "hi" or "bye." The same word, but the intent's got a range. If I were to say "thanks," I'd pasue. "Thx" cuts right to it, no preamble, no flourish. It's just there.

You don'tt have to do it all the time, but I've been sitting here and typing full sentences half the time just because it feels like the whole internet needs more of, that. I'm a semi-retired HVAC man, and I still get the urge to say "good morning" instead of just "hey" if I'm not in a rush.

Not sure if that helps or not. Just thought I'd share what I'm feeling.

(I've also learned to type "u" as in the letter, not the word "you," so I'm getting there.)
