I'm sorry, I shouldn't even be starting a thread for this, but it must stop! A large amount of posters are misspelling the word LOSE. They keep posting loose. Argh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stop doing that! Ok, I feel better now.

LOL that's hilarious. If I've done it, i'm sorry.
I was gunna post a wity reply but i thout you wood make me loose myself tring to explain it
he he he he... I always just figure it's drunk typing.. I've had to give up on responses myself when I can't even figure out what I wanted to say.
That only scrapes the surface of the spelling and grammar problem in modern English. Everyone, PLEASE buy a copy of "Eats, Shoots & Leaves" by Lynne Truss and READ IT!
Learn to spell, too.
Try as you might Blade, we all know your written English skills are better than that.Quote:

I confess to being irritated by poor grammar, punctuation, spelling and syntax.
Glad you brought this up, Megan. I can't stand spelling errors. And the worst kinds are the ones where people do them deliberately.
It doesn't make you look cool to misspell a word, people. It makes you look incredibly stupid.
I HATE "you know" spelled "yanno"... It doesn't happen very often on here, but it happens frequently on another chat site I visit. It drives me nuts because it takes longer for me to read slang than regular Enlgish.
It is NOT cool, I usually just skip that person's post because it gets so irritating. Imagine how often people right "you know" and replace it with "yanno" and you can imagine how irritating it gets.. you know? <<<--- he he
Why do people type "prolly" when they mean "probably"?
Why do people say "axed" when they mean "asked"?
GRRRRRR :banghead:
I confess to being a poor speller... I do my best, but I do not use the stupid short stuff, people who type 'r u doin dat' pisses me off.
OK, I've been guilty of intentionally typing 'prolly' - mea culpa.
But 'loose' for 'lose' has been a pet peeve of my for years...
I too have been guilty of writing "prolly".
Oh losen up!! LOL :)
Yes I admit it...Momma Blades lil' boy has himself some education, although I tend to slip into typing/writing as I would say it quite oftenQuote:

I will also admit that it hurt me terribly to type the garbled nonsensical crap I typed trying to be witty...even tho I don't always show it mis use of the english language is a major annoyance to me(yet I abuse the fuck out of it, go figure)
Crap I don't know what's going on with me lately..showing intelligence, being nice to noobs, etc. It's gotta be all the 80's Canadian metal I'm listening to softening me up, damn Anvil, Annihilator, Killer Dwarfs, I spit on your kind heartedness!
B4 is not a word!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yer fuck'n pissin' me off!!!
Ahhh... Bladespeak... }:D
Oh, come on people. Don't take other people's butchering of the English language so cerousely.
:rotfl:
Someone shoot me before I post the link. :shoot:
Grrr.. I hear ya about the B4, and anything like it. I've been a long time, very vocal hater of netspeak, leetspeak, and the like. I've seen the smartest people type that way, but their IQ appears SO LOW when they do it. You wouldn't know they had a working brain cell in their head.
Tigress.. LOL
Doc.. I'm gonna get ya! "You're all ganna be band, Cerousely!"
Ah the good ole days with Zoey/Eyez/Ryan (and his tattoo sleeves)
:laughing:
Pawn to B4.... I can't get visions of chess out of my head!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
T-Shirt Hell has a great shirt that says, "1f u c4n r34d th1s, u r34lly n33d 2 g3t l41d."
Proper english is what gets the point across.
I find purposefully stuffy and "proper" language to be even more annoying than extreme cases of l33tsp34k.
I type the way I speak for the situation. I say "prolly" instead of probably in casual communication, so i type that way in casual communication. Likewise, my professional writings are more formal, the same way my speech differs at times. Technical jargon, for example, is another form of slang and most people don't cry when they see it within its proper context.
I've noticed that people who have to spend a lot of time writing formally complain the least about INTENTIONALLY shorterned spellings and grammar devices on the internet.
Although I am guilty of purposely misspelling certain words - I like to write 'stoopid' for example - I also HATE to see LOOSE instead of LOSE, and 'neway' also bugs the crap outta me!
Outta. heh
Oh, yeah, Alice In Hell, baby!Quote:

Throwing the horns!
}:D
I don't know if my writing appears stuffy or not. I write what I feel I need to write to get the point across that I want to get across.
That was probably not a good sentence. Anyway.....
I don't worry much about spelling and such on the Internet. It was either get all worked up about it endlessly, or just be serene about the way things are, and I chose serenity.
Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.
Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh.
As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error rite
Its rare lea ever wrong.
Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect awl the weigh
My chequer tolled me sew.
LOL EA..
That was awesome.
But now my head hurts..
:laughing:
