Retarted Typing

[DocWolfe]

Just been looking on Facebook and my cousins wall, and its amazing how people 3 years younger than me have lost a total grasp of the english language.

EXIBIT A:

"o rite nice 1 mate hows it all going enjoying it more than at lufbra? yeh just taken this year off to see wot i want to do, cuz bin workin down in london at an estate agents for that time was real gud, but back home now until next sept n then goin off to the US hopefully to train as an airline pilot but need to do all my medicals first before i know lol shud be gud tho! a rite u not driving anymore how come? told u watch out for them cops mate! lol"

You ain't going to be a fucking pilot if you can't type english properly. I mean how fucking stupid does this kid look.

It just fucking annoys me. It definately isn't that much quicker than typing the full word. I'm not saying my grammar/prose/spelling is 100% perfect but at least I make and effort.

"Retarted" was a deliberate mistake then?

"Retarted" was a deliberate mistake then?

re·tard·ed (rĭ-tär'dĭd) pronunciation

1. Often Offensive. Affected with mental retardation.
2. Occurring or developing later than desired or expected; delayed.

Think Rulk meant you put "Retarted" when infact its "retarded"

Owned :d

But yes - I wouldn't be suprised if we by-pass proper grammar and so on in the future and just stick to shorthand altogether.

pwned Doc xD But yeah I totally agree with the degrading of the English language. I think it's easier to right in full than all this bullshit shortened malarkey.

I am here with my danish-english to destroy it even more!!!




I can be payed in hard cash to stop posting - Or by transfering to my paypal.

Take care.

anyone fluent enough in english can read that, that 55% is a made up statistic, like most.

Well leviathane even if that's old, point made though. I'm not english, i don't use it besides these forums and games, and I can understand that. That is rather weird.

Other then that, Doc, it's more likely you're pissed off at the accent used in it instead of the lack of "proper words".

 

[leviathane]

tbh i didn't have a point but i'm flattered

3) PeOpLe WhO tYpE lIkE tHiS.

I hate it when people cannot be bothered to type you instead of u.

Makes it look retarded

 

[Nate]

U? yOu? []_[]?

 

[Overdriven]

Nah, worse case is when people write out words; which can be spelt properly - IF they were to use the letter right next to the one they were pressing, or just the keys which are closer together.

e.g.:

Wot and What. - What is technically easier and faster to write.

I've actually given the newest MCR album the chance because a friend of mine likes them.. It's not actually that bad Better than some other bands I could mention.

I think they'd be a lot better if they didn't start off with the whole emo thing.

well when i first said "you mean retarted", it was meant to be a quote of thadius. I though it would be right under his post but some FH hogs posted before me and it makes me seem like i got a late joke, and got it wrong
