I just saw a post with probably the worst spelling I've ever seen before. I think we should put in a bot that edits peoples posts so their posts are READABLE. I'm just tired of this. Things I accept very happily: -lol -not capitalizing everything -i, I, there isn't that much of a difference -gtg, brb -cya (I say it to! "guilty as charged!"- sorry, I just watched Role Models) -Mixing up some letters, for example: Yeah I know btu.. -Some other common things THINGS I'M SICK OF: -F*CK F*CK F*CK (lots of cursing without the * to replace the U. Sorry I don't like to curse.) -OMG LIKE OMG LIEK OMG DUDE LIKE SERIOUSLY LIEK OMG- "omg" and "liek/like" don't have to be said EVERY OTHER D*MN WORD. -Repeating yourself. For example: Person A: I just downloaded a program! Person B: Cool... Person A: I just downloaded a program! ^ WE GET IT ALREADY... -People talking about how great crimes are. It doesn't happen here, but still, people talking about how great rape is- big no no in my book -ppl hoo downt no ow 2 tipe - It's called a dictionary. I will get you one for your birthday. -People who post for no reason. For example, in a topic called "your favorite paint brush" someone posts "i luv gawd soe much" (I don't think it's happened yet, but still.) /Rant Alright, I'm sorry, and I encourage people who use somewhat nice grammar. Lol and i is fine. Just please, refrain from everything I listed in the "things I don't like" part of this post. Oh, and these aren't all examples from NF. I was just on another forum and someone didn't know how to speak english. Every other word had numbers in it or was "like" or "omg". I WILL GET ANYONE A DICTIONARY IF THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO SPELL.
OMG LIKE OMG LIEK OMG DUDE LIKE SERIOUSLY LIEK OMG WHY WRITE SUCH A SRS ARGUMENT IN SPAM?!!!!!$#!@!#!11111one
lol, I see spelling errors in YOUR post : D anyway, don't get too mad about this, there are people from other countries (points to self) that aren't that PERFECT at English as you want them to be.. I'd call this overreacting .. I havn't seen that many people here on NF spelling -REALLY- bad D:
0mgz1 ! l1ke srsly, ow cud u disr3sp3ct 1337sp34k! U = EP1C F41L !!!oneone111!! Yeh it's cool ino 0mgz1 ! l1ke srsly, ow cud u disr3sp3ct 1337sp34k! U = EP1C F41L !!!oneone111!! And to repeat it for added effect
why do you keep posting things about speeling... are you the grammar police look in spooiiler..... Spoiler
You mentioned several times, you've not seen some of these on NF - so what's the point of this post? Good job you had the sense to put it in the Spam section - because that's what it is - intelligent spam, but spam nonetheless. You have no right to try and make people talk/type the way you would like, I think the level of grammer on this site is exceptional compared to others, especially considering a lot of users don't have English as a first language - leave it alone. Surely if I, a fully qualified, certified and time-severd Proofreader with serious organisational OCD's can cope with a few typos then you can. Get off your high horse.
Is there a need for you to make 2 posts about this? >______________> wut hao daer j00 cum heer n teel me hao 2 speel and tipe werds. >=[ and for emphasis: wut hao daer j00 cum heer n teel me hao 2 speel and tipe werds. >=[
"Are you some sort of a ambassador? You sure speak like one" Nope, just my opinion. And I do talk like that, I just don't like other people getting lectured about it. I think it was the general tone of the post that annoyed me, I do agree with a few points but it's not my place to say how others should, or shouldn't talk/type. A bit of gentle teaching goes a lot farther than a lecturing rant that is based (admitted by the author) on events outside this forum.
Nice talk. I like you, really! <3 <3 <3 *goes subscribing to sweatpea's username* edited : YEY!!! 1600 post. I'm officially a Veteran Spammer
Haha, it's called a "rant" and it's not always supposed to make sense. The point of this post was to vent out my anger. I'M NOT SAYING EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE TO TYPE PERFECT ENGLISH, I'M JUST SAYING THAT PEOPLE SHOULDN'T EXCPECT OTHERS TO UNDERSTAND THEM WHEN THEY ARE SPEAKING LIKE THIS: 101 i no rite xd omg liek omg liek csuz liek dude f*ck (without the *) tat rite u no? PS: He doesn't sound like a political figure, more like a guy who doesn't like his job and has found someone, me, to vent it out on. Congrats to him though, because I'm up for any time of venting on me ^^. It would be hypocritical for me to say you can't vent out your anger while I am right now.
If you can understand it, then good. If it gets to a point where you can't understand then okay. But I rarely see any 1337 speak on this forum at all. Most of us are intelligent individuals and are capable to (and usually do) type in a normal manner. Though the tone of your post was a little demanding and it seemed you were trying to dictate to people on how to type. Honestly, this is the internet, not an AP written exam. If the individuals your are ranting about write their papers and exams in the same manner as they do here, that's their problem and they will suffer the consequences of doing so. However this a forum where individuals can express themselves the way they want. If you can understand it, move on. No need to rant in a demanding demeanor.
I just happened to vent out my anger here lol. I've seen people only speak 1337 speak on other forums like (wait, just remembered, not aloud to talk about other forums like NF). Sorry for seeming demanding ^^
No worries mate, it's all good. I just don't see anything for you to get angry about here specifically on this forum. Most of the spelling and such here is very good. Of course we have members here that has their second language as english and is not proficient as others but they try. If you're angry because of other forums just give a disclaimer "That I hate this on other forums" or what not. Just so members don't take you the wrong way Any actual 1337 speak spoken on here is usually just for fun (like I do). I rarely try to communicate actual information using 1337 speak.
