Respect for the old guys.Follow

I am paying my respect to my elders.. for something as small as.. PROPER GRAMMAR! All this generation thinks of is typing fast.. what happened to the simple sophistication of spelling out the damn words!? I fear I am the last of a dying breed. All of my friends promote stupidity and illiteracy through their text. Hats off to you, Elders! You! Who keep the dream alive!

Haha, I'll try my hardest.

I know I mess up sometimes. I try not to judge or point out mistakes in grammar. We all slip up! But kudos to everyone who takes time out to fix their mistakes (I'm not one of them :P)

n dont u h8 it wen ppl typ liek dis
dat stuf annoyz me

Eheh, I try to type using full words instead of abbreviations like 'u' and 'plz'. I am especially not a fan of 'plz'. If someone is asking me to do something for them and is too lazy to even type out 'please', why should I help them to the fullest of my abilities?

But I also understand that people that use some of those abbreviations don't think anything remotely the same, and don't realize that some people consider it rude, or simply annoying. To them it's just a way to type a little bit faster. Probably the reason I don't use abbreviations like these, is because my typing speed is somewhere around 100 words a minute.

So usually I help them anyway, even though I am a bit annoyed. I'd probably be more upset with myself later if I didn't.

Also, I'm not an 'old guy'. I'm only 22. Though I guess to half the people playing, I'm still an old guy.

AND ANOTHER THING, I CAN'T STAND WHEN PEOPLE TYPE IN ALL CAPS. I FEEL LIKE I HAVE TO SCREAM EVERYTHING THEY TYPE!

J/K don't get mad.

"On a side note, is that the correct spelling for faceious? If indeed it is, it's kinda cool that it has a,e,i,o,u all in a row."

Nope, it is spelled "facetious" but you wer close!

Im swedish so my grammar and spelling might suck but imo its just pure stupidity to try and keep old grammar and spellings.
Languages are something that is alive. Trying to keep everything 'the way it used to be' is just STUPID.
dont you like phones? computers? EQ? microwaves? Those are new things just as many new efficient words and abbrivations.
Whats wrong with being efficient?

Well, ummmm, let's see. Do I have anything better to do that take my time typing posts today and actually expressing myself fully?

Hmmmm, I could play eq2......wait! NO! The servers are still DOWN!!!! LOL

English is a living language, but let's face it, some of this stuff is not change from growth but from pure laziness. The "gotta have it RIGHT NOW" generation, I call it.

I got 20 years on the guy that said he's 22 (you guys DON'T have to spread that one around lol), I've seen a lot of change to the English language, but some things aren't for the better. :)

Blast away!

Perhaps you guys are missing this. It has a,e,i,o,u in that order! Who needs evercrack when you have useless information like this!

Efficient possibly for someone who isn't native to English language. However, I know my stepsons use it cause they can't spell worth a darn, and don't want to look stupid. And don't feel they should have to learn how to spell due to spellcheck on a computer. <sigh> losing battle cause I only see em twice a month.

Anywho, it's a philosophical (spelling? LOL) difference that doesn't really matter in the long run, just annoying when I have to ask someone what the HECK they are talking about.

Congratulations? I think you mean Gratz!

This is also a norrowminded and actually stupid post.. Not trying to be mean or sum but you try and state this as a fact when really its just nothing except an oppinion.
