This is a discussion on abbreviations from forums or txt within the Humour forums, part of the Off Topic category; I like the amusing way people confuse "there", "their" and "they're". Also "your" and "you're"... Makes me lmfao I can ...

| Re: abbreviations from forums or txtyeah man i get you're point, its just stupidity on they're behalf innit their total idiots.  do capital letters (or the lack thereof) piss you off too amanda? i used to be really picky about using them properly but it gradually just became less and less important. |

| Re: abbreviations from forums or txtThanks Tom - and as you know I am very complimentary about your grammar (although all right is two words since you asked). MrPlow - I don't really give the lack of capitals issue much thought, so long as it reads properly! I'm just a stickler, I even use capitals and proper grammar on MSN most of the time. |

| Re: abbreviations from forums or txtYou guys wanna know sumthin really cringeworthy?  Only until a week ago, I thought "brb" was used to phonetically describe a burp(!) On MSN, I always pardoned my mates (but I did find it strange why they had to say it anyway). I never bothered to ask  My sister put me out of my misery just recently.......

| Re: abbreviations from forums or txtI used to think "lol" was "lots of love" - I had a friend who used to use it that way on cards, notes and so on. I always thought it was strange that people in fora seemed to love each other so much! |

| Re: abbreviations from forums or txtOh and by the way Amanda, I'm tickled by your librarianesque regard for the English language... I occasionally suffer from that affliction... I particularly liked the society for the protection of the apostrophe on the web somewhere. They encourage people to send in pictures of embarrassingly misplaced apostrophes by people who should know better... can't remember what the URL is but I know you would love it... s'ilvah Last edited by silvah; 13-12-05 at 04:45 PM.. |

  | Re: abbreviations from forums or txti dont realy like it wen ppl use 1337 (shortening sum words is ok though) n shorten stuf down n dont use caps etc. im not that bothered about ppl not using caps, or incorect use of the apostrafy, but it is nice wen stuf is spelt corecly wiv proper gramar. wen ppl shorten stuf down in txts it gets anoying as i cant always understand stuf. lol |
