RIF, do you think it's ok to add your own rules to the english language just because there are other rules that are similar to them on a very base level?

DV8 <- an example of these online abbreviations (a person also supporting the subject as mistyping as annoying)

SoMuchBetter - he just used "btw" yet another form of online abbreviation.

You maiing an argument against yourselves... you all use these online abbreviations. And you getting pissed off at me for comparing a contraction (which in my opinion is mainly used out of a LEARNED for of laziness), with a online abbreviation which i clearly stated i know is improper. I seriously think you guys need to flame elsewhere.

Cmon now go look at my post, I found using there as a possive instead of their annoying not UR or LOlZ! You really should put more thought into your post before you make yourself look like an ass.

The fact that the language is always changing is no excuse for people using whatever spellings they deem fit.

I agree brood, im actually not as far off from your belief, but i am a tolerant person so to respond to your original post i said it doesnt bug me.

As for you FakeSteve you are looking for a reason to stay pissed at me, when i proved my point on the online abbreviations a couple posts ago. You use online abbreviations everyday i am sure. The real moron is the one not willing to admit it, and telling me to go away when i am right. Don't bother posting again FakeSteve unless you are ready to admit to the very thing you said was annoying.

READ THIS: I AGREE WITH YOU GUYS. har har, it is improper english to use things like "u r", infact if you havent noticed i use them very sparingly as it is. Probably less than the people who say it's annoying.

haha so sorry DV8 and SoMuchBetter.. i should have clarified your examples were just to show that everyone uses them. They werent actually suppose to prove either of your opinions wrong. Its only FakeSteve and BroOd that persist to disagree with me.

I'm not even remotely angry. I just have low tolerance for idiots.

You say you agree with us, that's all well and good. You could have just said that, instead of looking for errors in our posts to argue about. Nitpicking serves no purpose other than to instigate arguements.

Like I said, Bugger off.

That tends to happen when you're wrong.

hmm ok so you're both stubborn aswell. Tell me FakeSteve and BroOd, have you used the online abbreviation lol in the last few days, and further more, did you find yourself annoying while doing it? Im really curious to see what your responses are. Cause from my point of view, you both have no argument except to try to drive in a fact i already know.

RIF, search the forum and post the link to where I used one. There's a difference between stubborn and right, so I guess that's two things you don't know.

I use "Hahaha" or something similar.

I'm not going to argue with you any further. You're going on about nothings in an effort to prove yourself a big boy, but you'd be clobbered by an eggplant in a battle of wits.

Well i'll be FakeSteve never uses LOL in a coversation. Strike FakeSteve from the hypocrites list, which i was so certain he was on. The truth is guys, you both use the same online speech as everyone else. The frequency of the use i would have no idea. FakeSteve.. you attempts to insult me have been weak at best. And for no real cause, exept that you know im right that you are a hypocrite.

I dont think its that big of a deal when dealing with certain topics. When asking what a good build order is for Starcraft who cares if they use abbreviations. When talking about something like religion or politics, you should try to make your posts a little less "forum-like" or else you will probably lose some credibility. It bothers me more when people start harping on people's grammar and spelling than it does when people misspell something.
