yes i do agree with darth in a way too. but it is not laysiness(probably spelt rong), it is much faster for me to type like that. like on irc loads of ppl are chattin and it is hard to get a word in if i type the full word.

I guess some of the juryrigged-shorthands are half acceptable: lol, u, cya, nvr. But then there are those that are just plain fukt up: wot, wen, dere. Hehe those extra few letters dont take up THAT much time. Just a thought hehe

First the addiction to spellcheck and now all this jury-rigged shorthand hehe... at this rate, in a couple years we'll all be a bunch of people who just cant spell anymore hehe.

Ya its pretty cool here too, but that is the Canadian Sterotype.
This banter, remindes me of an old Saturday Night Live short. The ad was for speaking in short form and using letters ete. The sale was saying that it saved so much time that now they could paint ete. "I save 2 days a years".
I am still waiting for the voice and thought control computers. then they would be no spelling mistakes with the voice software, but thousands with thought control. They I see words is all crazy. But everyone know I can't spell.
Sideline, should look into faster keyboards if you want to speed up your typing. The common current keyboard style was specifically designed to slow you down on Typwriters. But since most of have 2Ghz, I don't think we need to be slowed down.

What's really pitiful is when people add extra letters to their slang. Some examples are:
"Dawg" which means dog.
"Mayne" which means man.
Also there is Snoop dogg talk where he'll say "hizzle" which means hook and "shizzle" which means sure. He even pronounces his name "Snizzle Dizzle" some times. It's cool when you're actually talking to someone in person or on the phone but not too cool when you are posting suff on a forum. However my friend and I will talk on the phone and speak nothing but the Snoop Dogg izzle language. It's fun :)

Yeah it may be fun but there comes a point where I (and im sure im not the only one) will seriously question how litrerate the world really is. People can't talk, spell -- dare we consider their capacity to think?

Rotary, I am still in University, in science working towards a Phd. And I can`t spell worth a darn and you as a carpender will be making more than me. Oh the justice. I guess I will have to win the Nobel, and become famous. My only hope. But Honestly as an Academic, you will win out on both acounts. Funny how this world works out.

Rotary:
My comments (and perhaps those of the others) dont target this at all. What I get annoyed over is that people who can spell or whatnot but CHOOSE not to; a self-chosen option to be ignorant or whatever.
If your grammer is not 'up to par' I dont hold that against you. Not at all. It's the people that have all the education and such yet still choose to 'type soooooo much faster'. eeek this is an icky thread.
