AOL SPEAK

Sit down, skin up!

Should AOL speak be discouraged at Weedguru?

Yes, it is annoying and juvinile, and the perpetrators are usually dumbasses who we don't want to have stoner discourse with, anyway!

AOL SPEAK

Post by Caro »

I've had just about enough of this shit. If I have to read one more post from some lazy dumbass who refuses to communicate in standard English, I'm going to go apeshit. In my opinion AOL speak does nothing but bring Weedguru down. It's not that we can't understand what is being said, IT'S THAT WE DON'T WANT TO!!! Typing in shorthand is annoying and juvinile, and not appropriate for a place where writing is the standard medium for communication. Effective immediately, I'm going to start a campaign against anyone who repeatedly insults my time and intelligence by refusing to operate on principles even a child could comprehend.

ENGLISH, MOTHERFUCKER, DO YOU SPEAK IT.

i never capitalize any of my words, but i try to write proper and include punctuation. so i hope nobody gets pissed at my lack of capitalization. as for the people who abreviate every word (aol talk), i agree they should be banished to the deepest most regions of hell, or whatever place you could insert to send them.

Well nobody expects you to write flawless English in here, capitalization isn't the most important thing in the world, but we'd appreciate it if you at least use correct spelling. We're not gonna go apeshit if you misspell some words here and there, but you have to at least make a decent effort to speak proper English.

This is something that really does my head in. This aint school so there's no need to be perfect everytime, but some people take it to the extreme. There is no need to abbreviate every single fucking word. Im not gonna waste my time reading some 20 line post that does not contain one comma or full stop. I dont want to have to sit here and translate from moron to english before i can read a post. I've said it before and i'll say it again, the forums are not a fucking text message. Stay in school kids :roll:
