I think the best reason to not molest words (you/u are/r), is that quite frankly... it looks really bad.

Well, I believe any 'old-school' gamers would remember that this form of typing was borne out by the need to communicate with your team before voice over net became as popular and accessible as it is nowadays. Meaning that it is an acceptable form of communication for said gamers and just a good way of practicing 'short-type'.

omfg.. rofl.. this is the gayest post i've seen yet... it is a discrace to the TL.net forums.. who cares whether or not someone uses short type... thats what i use in games.. because... i mean really .. who has time during a game to type it all out? ... so.. i dont get what your problem is.. and plus.. some people have to type in short-type because they can't type fast... so i just think you should stfu.. and quit your flamin' of people who are slow typers.. .or just dont hav the time to type it all out... JUST STFU!! lol

Well, people are lazy, lazy people tend to accomplish their goal in the shortest amount of time. Therefore, spelling u instead of you would be the optimal choice. Plus, saving those "few" seconds, especially in the middle of a game (considering this is on an sc site) couldn't hurt, now could it? Once you become accustomed to typing "wtf u noob" every game, you'll start typing it more outside the game. And therefore, i just argued about a worthless topic T_T.

In game when time is of the essence, it's one thing to short type. When you're on a forum, you probably are not going anywhere for awhile, so it's not that big of a deal to type "you," instead of short typing it.

Your point being that somehow the activity changes the laziness of the person? And its not that big of a deal to read "u" either, its not exactly torture.

It annoys me when people say "lolz." Thats the stupidest thing ever. Did someone just put a z in there because lol looked too plain or something??

I say "lol" when I hear/heard a joke and it isn't/wasn't funny at all, but I'm too lazy to type something that would actually show they were/are funny, because I'm just that nice.

Sometimes when I'm ping on AIM or MSN and someone says somehting so funny that just typing in the the simple letters "l o l" would take away from my enjoyment, I jsut smash the keyboard and hope they understand that I'm laughing. Hmm.. Is that abbreviation?

Do you flip out when people say can't? Because thats an abbreviation on the same level. Nothing is wrong with saying can not. I don't have a problem with internet abbreviating. It is when people try to make ebonics a full language that i get annoyed.


I nominate this for dumbest post ever. First off it's "cannot," not "can not." Secondly, "can't" is not ebonics it's what most people consider English.


Did you read my post? or do you always misread posts? Funny, i thought BroOd was an ignorant ass, but now he's flowers compared to you. You might first try reading a post before responding like a second grader.

If you hadnt noticed, i was a proponant of "nothing is wrong with abbreviations". So why then would i compare [can't] to ebonics, when obviously i did not.

When time if of the essense (in a game, chatting), all butchering of the english language is acceptable.

On a forum it pisses me off because it's not too hard to type correctly (I do it all the time here), but as long as I can understand the post I don't bitch about abbreviations and what not.

Overuse of "lol" pisses me off.
