Do you get annoyed when people use text language? - Page 2

Krystal · 02-04-2009, 04:09 PM

i don't find them horribly annoying as long as its just the little things

like replacing certain words is alright I.E. why with Y, or you with U. i don't mind that, but when entire sentances are made up of shortened text speech it really just gets annoying. like for example
wuu2, HRU, etc etc
if your gonna ask a question type it out a little atleast, especially since not everyone knows what everything stands for, and it starts to get really agravating having to ask someone what they said after each time they type something to you.
your at a keyboard after all, you can type out a few words it won't kill you.

I don't mind using abbreviations like LOL or BRB but it's really annoying if u tlk liek ths awl tha tiem! I sometimes correct people when they do that and if they find it annoying, they know exactly how I feel when they do it to me. It doesn't even take very long to type out the whole thing and if you type like your teachers taught you, I find it more mature.

i find one of the biggest problem for me is when people dont leanghen the word but change the letters, like the post before me with the "awl" its quicker to type "all" and people can read it, whats the point?

And when "gangster" kids actually ADD letters to words. Like iim q0iinq o0utt. WTF? That takes longer to type than if you just wrote it normally.. what's the point in that?

It just sickens me that people are so LAZY that they have to write "u" instead of "you". I also hate that people cannot use simple punctuation *ahem*
It just makes it easier for people to read when it's not a jumbled mess of letters and numbers.

If people aren't very good spellers, or they are dyslexic then I wouldn't get annoyed. But if people are purposely just being lazy and typing rubbish then It's not just annoying but I would much rather not speak to them. It's kind of like they can't really be bothered to talk to you properly so they don't spell full words. Like talking to someone who wont look you in the eye.

mijman · 12-31-2009, 01:13 PM

I voted that yes it is annoying sadly i sometimes break into text speak without thinking about it.I have to proof read my posts to make sure i havnt gone into text talk

Lizzi · 12-31-2009, 01:26 PM

Ahhh
it depends how bad it is. I don't mind if they chop words up like say gd instead of good.. unless their entire sentence is like that. I also hate it when they type gud,lul,lyk ... stuff like that. It just kind of pisses me off haha.

And 73315p33k is just aaawfuuullll,when I see someone typing like that I just rage haha!

lol,wtf,brb,lmao etc are things I use myself because I'm a gamer,so I don't mind those things

Just don't go over the top you know =/

oh,and bad spelling annoys me aswell , i mean come on! There's a big difference between there and their and they're u know! Get you're spelling correct! My native language isn't even English and it's like 10 times better than most of those English br33z3rsluts and chav's -_-'

Slenderman - Doctor · 12-31-2009, 01:29 PM

I don't mind some ... GTFO, lol (as long as it's not after everything!), WTF etc.

But, yes, usually I get pissed off.

BettyBoop · 12-31-2009, 01:30 PM

i cant say a thing my typin is terrible =P

Star Shadows · 12-31-2009, 03:44 PM

I tend to be Ok with reading it because it is on MSN all the time. But it really does get on my nerves because it is just being lazy. I am even worse for getting annoyed on the issue now I have joined Getdare because when you make a brilliant post it is common curtousey to spak english.

Star Girl · 01-01-2010, 12:00 PM

I hate people who don't type correctly, on purpose. The occasional typo, spelling error, or grammatical mistake is fine. As long as you try to show intellect. Some acronyms are ok as long as you don't have a huge string of them. But missing out letters and replacing them, or even worse, addiinggg themmmm inn liiikeeee thisssss, I simply cannot forgive.
I also get angry about the misuse of apostrophes, but that's another rant for another time.
