WHAT THE FUCK !!!!!! PEOPLE.

Why can't people on this site or any forum site use proper spelling !!!!!!!!

Does it save that much time to type everything out in full (u=you, 2=to, b4=before, etc.) Are we that busy that taking an extra minute or so to do it right? Where do people have to go in such a hurry that they have to use those fucking short form/abbreviations!!!!!!!!!!

It takes me longer to read that shit then it would for me to type it out in full.

Somethings are acceptable to me if they are by themselves. (Imao, WTF, LOL). But when you are using a sentence TYPE IT OUT IN FULL !!!

OK, I'm done !!!!

why does it matter. if it is serious post then they should take the time to make sure everyone can read it. if it isn't then you are probibly better off not understanding.

There is actually a policy on AF regarding use of proper English.Nobody is getting banned for poor understanding of the language,but if anyone repeatedly posts garbage such as the example invented by Chavez, just report it to the mods and one or more of us will drop by their inbox and have a few precise and pithy words with the author.

ok some things are stupid to abreviate(by the way, why is this such a long word?)

but I could care less if someone doesn't speak in perfect english, doesn't use punctuation, or uses slang words... to an extent...

few people talk in complete sentences or proper english so why not type that way, I find it easier to understand than some of you people that seem to use prepasitions(one of those words I don't care if its spelt wrong because it probably is right here) and have perfect punctuation.

oh and typing anything more than 1 word in all caps is annoying

now, I agree. to an extent. I dont mind if someone writes this sentence:
I can't stand these newbies on AF. You and i should do something about them.
Like this:
i cant stand these n00bs on AF. u n i should do sumthin.

thats not hard to understand at all. now, when ppl, yes i typed ppl, start forgettin all punctuation and grammar entirely, thast when i just dont read their posts.

Oh, and by the way, even when (for about 1 month) i went to English class stoned every day, i never got below a 79% in my whole life. so, please dont say someone couldnt pass English class just by how they type on teh internet.(And I dont smoke anymore ppl...so plz dont preach to me about it.)

I totally agree with dugie. First thing people need to do is learn how to fucking type!! If you learn how to type, then spelling out "FULL" words will be much easier. Even if you CAN'T type, I still think it's bullshit to use that abbreviation crap.

I think being stoned and reading Nietzsche or any of the others, is probably a waste of time. I'm a William Shakespear fan myself. Look at my sig.

It has been proven that the use of "internet lingo" has increased the youth's ability to speak and write proper English.

Naki, I'm surprised that you would even challenge this. Look at the average test scores on Standardized English tests and at the decline since the internet became a general tool of entertainment.

(Or should I say "Please enlighten me as to the meaning of this" ?)

It is a stylised presentation of the term 'I am leet' [presumably the term 'leet' is derived from elite].

In practical terms it would be advisable to interpret it as 'I am socially impaired,and will end up cleaning toilets for a living'.
