Internet Literacy

i tell you what annoys me, when you are having a long convo on msn and you type somethin REALLY long and all the other person says is 'k' or 'kk' that really pisses me off

as long as it's not terrible grammar, excessive use of internet slang or gangsta crap, then I'm fine....

I hope I don't annoy people with my use of the '....' instead of sentences....the reason I think I use this method is the '....' represents a pause....(like that)....I try to post often as I would say what I'm saying IRL....if topic is more serious & calls for an essay-like answer, I'll go back to normal grammar, sentences & punctuation....


back on topic, I believe that mobile SMS-ing has contributed to the decline in internet literacy....

I hate improper use of grammar, bad spelling, incorrect punctuation etc.

It should be noted that almost all good posters use correct grammar, punctuation, spelling etc.

Isn't it supposed to be 'I hate improper use of grammar, bad spelling, incorrect punctuation[b],[b] etc.[b]..[b]'?

I am using [b][b] insead of the usual because the bold doesn't stand out on thoe things as much as it does on actual words.

LOL.

I don't mind words like ZOMG,LOL or something like that on msn,but sometimes on the forums it bothers me.The one thing I really hate that so much people are using gansta slang.Look they using this stupid words like "cuz" and others and they think they are cool.

It's best I post this to vent my frustration instead of breaking something.

say WAaaattttttt! says:
nuffin wrong wid it! its how ppl CHAT! taint no essay!
Jackal says:
Well I'm really not in the mood to decipher much of it, so I'll be on my merry way. Honestly, how difficult is it to write nothing opposed to nuffing? Both the words have 7 letters and my brain doesn't have to make a transition from nuffing to nothing.

Dint? That's not even a word. It went from did not to didn't to didnt to dint, next thing we know it'll be din and I’m supposed to somehow smell you mean what used to be the term “did not”.
say WAaaattttttt! says:
lol
Jackal says:
In any case, it's not an issue I want to have an argument about, but really not in the state of mind to read "nuffin" opposed to "nothing".
say WAaaattttttt! says:
Okay. Sorry. laugh out loud.
Jackal says:
Hardy...har...har.
say WAaaattttttt! says:
lol
say WAaaattttttt! says:
fine. sheesh

Jackal says:
It's annoying me to death.

Anyyyyyways, I'm off, later.

say WAaaattttttt! says:
I bid you a good Night then

The words murder, strangle, choke, eliminate, destroy, demolish, torture, burn, decapitate come to mind. Alrighty then, be good kids.

lol very weird conversation.

She talks in the 3rd person

Reading that convo was a painful experience, it will haunt me forever.

we have something worse here in the philippines and its getting really annoying...

instead of "I" they replace it with me...which makes people sound really stupid. they do it even in sentences in Filipino. They replace the word for I or me in Filipino with a me...it makes them sound like cavemen...or cavewomen since majority of people who do it are the girls

It took me a while to get use to reading that convo of yours Jackal.It made my eyes hurt .
@ Null17 I replaced with me .*thinks how they are talking that way.Me?Oh man thats so stupid.

I despise internet lingo...Especially if there is no punctuation.

Ditto.
I also hate where English and Filipino are unnecessarily combined e.g. Now na, It's so astig/lupet, Me so galing talaga, and other stupid mangled phrases.

Me so galit at this kind of thing talaga.

It's ok when you don't do it on purpose but a lot of them really put a lot of effort into sounding like that...ugh

I can handle lol's and omg's and some spelling errors because I make them too from typing fast. But the PWNT!1!!! stuff gets annoying, yea.

Spam ^ Edit: the hammertime dude..

I hate it when talking to some people and they randomly try and be funny but stupid. e.g. How is you instead of how are you. Like why? Why do that?

Spelling mistakes I can handle, I absolutely fucking despise this whole "ZOMG ORLY L33T SKILLZ PWND!!!" type of shit. That bothers me alot more these days than it used to, now it's got to the point where if anyone uses it with me *cough*jugs*cough* I usually don't bother replying

Yeah half the things people make up themselves so you can't understand what it means
I use slang on MSN

i hate slang, luckily i dont do the whole msn thing cause it pisses me off.
sometimes you push the wrong letter accdentaly which is fine, i dont really like it when people purposely spell things wrong-lazy
e.g-i dnt rly lik it wen peeps spll thngs rng

spelling errors i don't mind because your using a keyboard and sometime you can hit the wrong key. People that don't use paragraphs though are annoying.
