Yeah I make spelling mistakes I know this. But what is the deal with some of the posts on this board? I have been noticing a trend lately from a few people that talk like this "wut i wonna know is for realz tho if buds bad for ya becuz i gotta say i liek smokin n stuff"
Ok not my best impression of what I've been seeing but anyone else notice things like this? I'm having a hard time understanding a few people around here.
I agree Nancy. I have no idea why somebody would type like that at all. I mean I can understand how people can talk like that with slang and all, but they don't "write like that on the streets" hahaha :D
There are a lot of teens and pre teens on here too. I wonder if those are the people who are typing like that?
Wouldn't be suprised.
Nancy if u really don't like and understand then why read it, yeah they are probably young but i know people that can't spell, and by u making this post u will call some of them out so just be prepared for the wtf replys u get ! But i am just clearly stating some fact about being illiterit...So my bad if u take this the wrong way. But You got a point about people that talk that way wonders how they really are in person ;)
So i am stoned kick me:p
OH SNAP! ;) lol
no fuckin shit , if u dont like they way they write then move the fuck on , cause its a piss poor thing to complain about and it dont take no sense to understand what their writin n e ways
No I believe it's sad and piss poor for people to write like that, where you actually have to decipher what the hell they are trying to say. Most of them are asking questions and for information. How the hell are we supposed to get them it if we can barely make out what they are typing??? This forum is in English right??? What if I started typing in another language and you didn't understand? Well going by what you are saying, it's your fault for not trying to understand them. Stop being a hypocrite JSP, just look at the post of yours "will u help Jesus out?". Miss Jah posted the most ridiculous post and what was your response???? "What the fuck are u talking about". why didn't you try to understand her????Quote:

There is no excuse for illiteracy unless you do have a mental retardation. Which I am in no way insulting people like that. I would never do that. But come on you have people who have attended schools and that are bright enough to know better but still cannot spell.
yeah i find it annoying aswell. too true sawleaf
although now i think about it there are many types of english spoken....................who cares
Yes, there are many types spoken, but not written.Quote:

i totaley agree LOL ROFLMAO wats rong with ar teens deez days its lik ne 1 can tell wat there sayin fuk
omfg dies laughing...ok well i will just have to make an exception:p
Sorry to be picky here mate but there are a great many differences between English and American English in the area of spelling. To me whenever people use a 'z' instead of an 's' in words that end 'ise' they are spelling it incorrectly, to you it would be the standard spelling.Quote:

In brief, if you can understand what is being conveyed what does it matter whether the spelling is correct in this month's dictionary?
peace :)

Well in america even though we have different accents we are all taught to spell the same way. And some people choose not to learn to spell or choose to spell the way they speak.
i think spellin how u talk is a good thing, it expresses an individual tha best u can on boards. well at least i think. i type how i talk. im not tha kind of person who says
"anything" actually i say it more of a enythang but that takes too long to type
Hmm. I'm a very anal retentive person when it comes to the way words are pronounced. Living in the country I strive very hard to not sound like some barefoot country bumpkin. I strive to pronounce everything with NO accent at all. And I try to spell the way I speak. To me the way you spell and speak tells a lot about a person and their intelligence level. And to top it all off slang is just annoying. I personally liked the speech that Bill Cosby made at the rainbow coalition meeting they had recently. He spoke out about how some black people speak in slang terms. And how you can't understand a word they say. And they can't spell correctly because they spell the way they speak. He spoke out about how it's not the childrens fault it's the parents fault as well because it comes from generations of ignorance. I liked his speech a lot. And it's in every race and nationality. I just thought it was very ironic that finally a black person stepped up and addressed the issue to the public.
ive alwayse thought that there was no such thing as no accent. i go to NJ and NY and they say that i got an accent. i jus dont think its very nice to single a groupe of people out. plus this is a marijuana site an theres bound to be people who r too lazy to spell right or write out whole words. im not sayin tha most stoners do but i know that there are a lot. an i dun know if this is everywhere but around here people start smokin pot cause things arent goin their way an in 6th grade its mostly school therefore a lot of smokers arent very educated. its not that pot made em unintelligent but they smoke cause their unintelligent. again, this is where i live, i dun know bout elsewhere and this isnt all potheads, only a handfull.
peace n' bagz
I really don't care if I tick off people that are too lazy to spell or speak correctly. I'm not trying to be their friend anyway. It's sad that a lot of stoners are lazy. But there are a lot that aren't as well.
i agree that it can be annoying if "ppl typ liek diz yo" but if you get what theyre trying to say then whats the big deal!?
when people talk and they drop their t's or pronounce words wrong, you dont jump down their throats do you? if you do then youre just being pedantic for no reason
and nancyrenee, what the fuk is this supposed to mean? --> "There is no excuse for illiteracy unless you do have a mental retardation." :mad: jesus christ, i dont even know where to start.. im not going to start giving you shit but come on, think about what you say before you say it, please..
p.s. have you ever heard of dyslexia!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!??!

I'd say i speak good english but others might disagree. The way you speak is the same with most things in life, your influenced by ur country, ur town, ur friends, family, school...u get t idea...everyone is different, and so everyone is individual in t way thy speak. To me this means that there is no correct way too speak(altho foul language i do not excuse) especially now the world is the way it is.
If u take my point above into consideration when you think about how much things like the internet and MSN are used by people throughout t world then you'll be able to understand that the things you do, see and the people you talk to online can influence t way you type because this is the main way to communicate. Its only natural for people to gain a unique typing method.
I only got my internet set up a yr ago n whn talking to people i found i was always too slow to keep up because i typed every word out n didnt even knw wht gtg or lol meant :eek:
Its quick and its easy...so long as i cn get t jist of it, even if i do have to read through it a few times it dsnt bother me and i dnt see why it should bother anyone else.
NANCY-Have you heard of "pardon", "excuse me", "could you rephrase that"...theres plenty more because for someone who seems intelligent and thinks they speak so well in life AND online you certainly havent thought about ur post. If ud thought realistically you would'v known that posting that thread wouldnt stop any of it with t amount of newbies. Try asking individual people to rephrase when u cant understand something...at t end of t day ur still here posting so it cant bother you that much.
Smoke a doobie n chill...so what if u cant read a post
Peace too u all...respect for ur views

I don't care about punctuation or grammar or anything like that, but when lots of words are mispelled or if the person just talks like a total numbnuts then it gets annoying. I'm not one to hate though, so whatever for whomever.
Hate to say it, but I at least partially agree with Nanc...it may or may not be intentional, it may or may not be their fault, but some people are downright hard to talk to because of the way they type...I mean, you might feel l33T, but if nobody can understand what you're saying, whats the point? If I care enough to take the time to post, its probably because I'm looking for a response...

What do you read? Am I asking for help, or am I offering my services as a Korean masseuse? I'd prefer not to get mixed up like that...raises far too many questions.
I haven't seen your pants, I'm sorry about your wallet, and what kind of help do you need? I'm joking. I agree with you but Nancy is too bitchy the way she says things sometimes.Quote:

I don't mind when people shorthand a bit to save time, but sometimes it just gets annoying. I agree everyone make errors and stuff, but it can be too much of a pain to read many times. I hate when people excessively use "U","R",or"LOL". Sure, use it every now and then, but when it's "R U CUMIN 2 TEH MALL 2NITE OR WUT??111!!1 LOLOLOL" it looks so ignorant.
hahahahah, i just had to say that your name really cracks me up it is classic!!!!!!!!lmao :D
i reckon you can thank mobile phones and txt speak for that. tut. the younger generation eh. they dont know there born. when i was young we used to live in a paper bag in a septic tank, and i had to get up half an hour before i went to bedQuote:
