Sticksboi05 Hates: People who misspell sentences on purpose

[Sticksboi05]

Well, I am not going to lie I was not a fan of these types of threads but this has just ground my gears for too long.

Seriously people? What honestly is attractive about typing like this:

"Aye U see DA r3dskInS game DIS W33k??"

I'm sure this is only an epidemic for people under age 30 but hell, you never know.

What's more bizarre is when their misspellings actually make the word LONGER than usual.

What is the driving force behind this nonsense? Now, typing without capitals in say, AIM chat, is one thing, but my God how stupid do people really enjoy making themselves look?


Edit - and yes, I forgot the "P" in people in my rage...:silly: but it was NOT on purpose and has been corrected.

[skinsfan07]

I hate the people that replace o's with h's or u's and the people who replace ALL g's with q's.

Like this.

"Hey yhu wanna qo skatinq? Yhu wud luv it."

Like WTF are you doing??!?! #killyourself

[McD5]

You mean like "boi" instead of boy?:)

[d0ublestr0ker0ll]

What is the driving force behind this nonsense?

I remember playing Yahoo games and people would always chat like that. Also, you'd see screen names like l2alvl_l30i (ram boy) for example. It's just part of the chat/text culture. Guess kids get bored of typing those stupid "regular" letters.

[Sticksboi05]

You mean like "boi" instead of boy?:)

Yes, EXACTLY! I actually don't remember why I did that way back when, perhaps it will come to me.

[McD5]

Yes, EXACTLY! I actually don't remember why I did that way back when, perhaps it will come to me.

Because you liked Avril Lavigne's song, skater boi.

[mistertim]

lulz:pfft:

[PokerPacker]

It can be fun in moderation perhaps in a situation where you're trying to parody stupid and when used among a crowd of people who may appreciate it, but the idiots that go everywhere and spell every word like that just make me sad.

Example of tasteful use:

lulz:pfft:

[GhostofSparta]

Yes, EXACTLY! I actually don't remember why I did that way back when, perhaps it will come to me.
Probably has something to do with being a stupid 14 year old. :pfft: And yeah, misspelled words are bad enough, but putting numbers instead of letters (you know, like 3=E) is just irritating.

[Obibyn23]

You mean like "boi" instead of boy?:)



Heelarious :hysterical:

[Mr. Sinister]

I don't mind a mispelled word every now and then, but when someone says something in a text like " A, u tryna go to mall?", I just wanna slit my wrists.

[Sticksboi05]

Because you liked Avril Lavigne's song, skater boi.

HELL no. It had to be something else because back then all I listened to was terrible pop rap "music". I will admit, it is a bit ironic BUT, I will be damned before I go around ES purposefully typing full sentences like an idiot.

[mistertim]

Unfortunately I think we all have 4chan to thank for all of this.

[PokerPacker]

HELL no. It had to be something else because back then all I listened to was terrible pop rap "music".

Yeah BOIIIIIIIIIII!

That's what I think of when I see the spelling of your name.

[Kosher Ham]

You mean like "boi" instead of boy?:)

Exactly.

Stop trying to use these threads for silliness. They are going to start banning people for "I hate threads", everyone seems to need there moment in the spotlight for something they hate. Get over yourself and post it in the random thread or as a response in a thread.

There is a poster in a certain thread that recently did this and blew it off. Personally, I don't use what I call "text typing". I am a grown man and I can read and spell fairly well. I prefer spelling or grammar errors, over the text typing.

My sentence structure and such...well, not so good at that but you get the point.

Not trying to crap on your thread Sticksboi, I guess you are trying to be funny, like I try to sometimes, but fail brutally.

EDIT: Not that I don't have typos sometimes. oops.

[d0ublestr0ker0ll]

Do you know what hypocrisy is? Not that I care but that's basically if I were to say...

"I hope those dumb white people stay on their side of the fence."

"Not that I'm racist or anything."

I hate when people in college, or have graduated college, still can't figure out the difference between "they're, "their," and "there."

Absolutely hate that.

I think the irony of his name and this thread is a coincidence. From my dealings with him, this hate of chat-speak complements him perfectly.

[McD5]

It's okay. No one's accusing you of being her biggest fan.

It was a catchy song, and she looked like she was going to be pretty hot when she got older.

[Kosher Ham]

"Not that I'm racist or anything."

Nothing hypocritical in my post. Sorry, you don't fully understand that meaning.

You are sitting here complaining about something that you BLATENTLY did with your own user name.

I am just saying that when you flood the market with "I hate" thread, they get to be mundane and pointless. Not really a message to you even, but to all the copycats of an Eagles fan.

[PokerPacker]

I hate when people in college, or have graduated college, still can't figure out the difference between "they're, "their," and "there."

Absolutely hate that.

I mix it up every now and then because I'm typing quickly. If I go back and read it I'll know it was a mistake.

[Kosher Ham]

That's wonderful. Thanks.

Why does it matter to you so much? Just curious.

Completely off topic but fine I'll respond:

Hypocrisy is saying you don't mean to crap on someone's thread and then doing it. If it bothered you so much then ignore it. The irony is coincidental but the fact is that was five years ago and obviously, if you read the OP, has nothing to do with prolonged typing of misspelled words purposely which I certainly don't run around Extremeskins doing. Anyway, that's all I'm going to say.

[PokerPacker]

I like Sticks; he's a good guy.

[Enter Apotheosis]

Unfortunately I think we all have 4chan to thank for all of this.

Please, you give imageboards too much credit. All of this crap started way before any of them existed. Annoying shorthand, acronyms, and 1337 have been around since the dawn of the internet. As more and more people have caught on to the lingo it has become increasingly more bastardized and annoying over time.

[Obibyn23]

Someone made a thread saying they hate threads like these actually. :ols:

LOL that's funny ****

Indeed. Seems cools to me.

Late and lame. Try again. :beatdeadhorse:

[Sticksboi05]

Kosher - To clarify, I'm not upset or mad at all. I'm just saying, you don't have to say you're not trying to crap on my thread, it's OK if you are. I hate these threads too and pondered over whether or not to make it for about five good minutes...yes, I'm pretty damn bored. :ols:

Nothing to do now that Revenge of the Nerds ended on Encore. Last three nights: Dazed and Confused, ROTN and Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Excellent selections.

Beat ya to it ^^^^ :D

[IgY]

As long as we're talking about misspelling and things of that nature in here, there's one particular one that really bugs me, more than their/there/they're:

People exchanging "loose" for "lose". One is a verb, and one is an adjective (though you can use loose as a verb, it still means the act of loosening something). I can understand if someone is typing fast and accidentally adds a second 'o', but I'm seeing it more often, and many do it multiple times in one post (which makes me think they're really misspelling it).

To me, it's just not that hard of a distinction, especially since they don't even sound alike!

[Obibyn23]

Beat ya to it ^^^^ :D

You sure about that?:ols:

[Mr. Sinister]

You sure about that?:ols:

Lol you win, I don't know how I missed yours. :ols:

That one bugs me too. Certain words I get. And I know a guy that is on another messageboard that is paralyzed from the neck down. Sometimes his software doesn't get the word right.

But lose and loose. On this board it is Burgundy and Burgandy. :doh:


Lol you win, I don't know how I missed yours. :ols:

That is the only reason I said late and lame silly. You big ol' copycat. :D

I don't mind if someone does it by accident. I've mixed them up before by accident if I was typing a post here or somewhere else really quickly, or a text message.

But people who mess them up because they just don't know any better drive me crazy.

"I'm going over their." "This is they're car."

The "loose" and "lose" one is annoying too.

Sometimes people in the Stadium start threads about players "resigning to a new contract." Really? So they finally gave in and took that new deal?

[PokerPacker]

loose and lose is the worst for me.

[ArmchairRedskin]

Don't forget playoff "birth". Yeesh.

[ACW]

I hate when people in college, or have graduated college, still can't figure out the difference between "they're, "their," and "there."

Absolutely hate that.Or when people use apostrophe's incorrectly, or don't use them when they SHOULD be used (that was deliberate :pfft: ).

I agree 100 percent. And lol at McD5 pointing out your username. I guess it is just something teenagers do.

I hate it the most when a musician intentionally misspells one of their songs to sound cool.

I would say age 28 and under. I'm 30, and AIM chat rooms didn't become popular until I was further along in high school and had proper spelling habits ingrained by my parents. I don't even use shorthand when I text, that's how bad I am about it.

I probably sound far more grouchy and curmudgeonly for my age than I should, but I detest this crap. All of it. "U" for you. It's two god damned extra letters. All the rest...it just kills me. I look forward to eventually being able to shred a ton of resumes and never letting the idiots know why they didn't receive a call back. I hope most of them remain unemployed so I can surround myself with competent individuals that have a grasp of the english language.

[Chicken Fried]

I've already gone down as hating it when women add extra letters like, "Oh myy Godd, I can't waitttt to sse youu!" I also hate it when guys (usually) spell incorrectly and obviously do it on purpose because it's so damn obvious and dumb. I think they do it to act as if, "I'm really too awesome to worry about spelling because my life is so busy and full of cool things that I don't need to spend 1 second making sure I spelled everything correctly and capitalized the first letter of my 5 work sentence."

[TD_washingtonredskins]

Don't forget playoff "birth". Yeesh.

I think you mean palofs birth, don't you?

:ols:

I agree with the OP, I don't ever do the short-hand crap that is so popular now. It really doesn't save much time. But, I understand that teenagers always do stuff like that. I was annoying at that age too (driving around in my hand-me-down car with gangster rap blaring out the windows). It's always something.

[Sticksboi05]

English.

[sideshow24]

I hate people who misspell words on accident.

"by accident" is preferred.

[No Excuses]

I gave up on typing properly on my phone. The stupid touch screen pad is so ****ing tiny and my huge fingers always press the wrong alphabets. You don't understand how much I hate this phone. It's like they didn't take it into consideration that some people have large fingers.

[Forehead]

English.

:)

Yeah, I thought about that after I typed it, sticks"boi." At least it is spelled properly, and my original point remains, I can not wait to shred resumes when that sort of **** appears on them.

[MissU28]

"by accident" is preferred.

Yeah, if you're an old fart!:pfft:

I actually use both, and was debating which to use when I wrote that sentence. It depends on what I'm saying.

I get annoyed when I see people on Facebook use the @ character when addressing someone in a series of comments.

For example, if John comment's on my picture and I want to thank him, instead of a simple "Thanks John" or "John, I appreciate the kind words" I would type "@ John, thanks".

I don't get it...it's dumb so people should stop doing it.

[IONTOP]

I actually taught a guy at the bar last night how to use "Too" vs "To"...

I simply told him when he's unsure, say the sentence but put the word "also" in instead of "too/to".

"I'm going to the movies, too!"

"I'm going also the movies, too!"

"I'm going to the movies, also!"

And lose/loose is a horrible pet peeve of mine, I will stop reading an OP because of it.

[skinfan2k]

who cares!

i actually had a higher ranking coworker text me with text talk - 'how r u coming along'

i cant stand shorthand typing at all...it infuriates me...I always spell everything out, use commas, etc when I text unless im running out of characters...then i run words together and it becomes something like this:

hi,what do youwantfordinner?im stuck inmyoffice until 3

Why are you texting about dinner? I can understand texting if you want to keep it out of earshot of other people, but why not just call the person and ask them what they want for dinner?

I dont like people hearing my conversations...so I text. Plus, I hate talking on the phone to begin with...its so awkward. I like have a couple seconds to gather my thoughts to say something witty in reply :pfft:

[Iced Coffee]

i HaTe PeOple WhO tyPE lIke thIS

[IgY]

Good. I thought I was the only one that got very irritated with the lose/loose deal. Glad to know I'm not!

I can understand when people use short hand (i.e. U for you or 2 for two) if they're texting and have a phone like mine that doesn't have a keyboard. I mean, to type in "you" I have to hit 9-9-9-6-6-6-8-8. It's easier to hit 8-8 for the U. Doesn't stop me from still entering the whole word, though. And yes, I have a crappy phone.

But if you're using a keyboard (either on a phone or computer), it's not all that much more work to hit two extra letters.

I remember one summer I asked my cousin why there are so many misspellings and short handed words in her e-mails to me. Just curious. Her answer was that it's summer and she didn't have to write nice any more since school was out. Boggled my mind.
