Ah, how delightfully misguided some people are

Makes you wonder, have they ever played an online game before? Not only are most of those words hardly ever used, the missed out ¨Shotgun whore¨ ¨Camper Bitch¨ and everyones favourite ¨U AIM GUD! HAX!¨

    Actually, the majority of those words are used by WoW players. I guess in games like CS not so much though.

    not to be confused with g2g, which means "got to go". Look at the confusion it can cause.

    Onlinese is a bastard language, spoken by churls and cyborg degenerates.

    I hate it when people replace 'your' with 'ur'. I can understand shorthand to an extent when texting on phones, but it's not that much effort for people typing to move their fingers to hit those extra two keys.

    I saw a news clip a few years back about kids who were so influenced by internet shorthand that they had trouble using real English writing in the real world. They showed a couple kids who filled in job aps using internet shorthand.

    Also: anyone who stills uses "u" for "you"...isn't to be taken seriously. I swear...it's like, 2 extra letters that are 4 keys apart. I swear to freaking god. No offense, god.

    I use shorthand when texting on phones. Because hittin those two extra keys are a pain in the ass if you have work to do. Or if you're driving.

    Not to mention the limited character number and all.

    I can't stand texting on phones. My inferior mind can't memorize two different keypads.

    I hate that too. So does Maddox. One of my favorite pages is his 100,000,000th visitor stats page, where he randomly throws in "2 - The number of extra keys you'd have to type so I won't disregard 'ur' email."

    Another internet slang term that drives me up the wall is when people use "pokes" to refer to Pokémon. They aren't "pokes" and seeing people call them that makes me want to inflict biblical levels of bodily harm upon them.

    People referring to Pokemon in general make me want to do something along those lines.

    Unless it's in an ironic fashion, or in the context of a kickass vector-art comic strip.

    I have never seen "pokes" used for pokemon. I have had many people annoying *poke*/*pokes* at me via IM if I don't reply right away.

    I think I've seen pokes before. But where....

    It's a command to write directly to memory. Or at least is was back in the day when men were real men, women were real women, and 64k was enough for anybody.

    640k. Unless you aren't making that reference.

    I'm sort of making that refrence, but I'm referring to the Golden Age of 8-bit computers with 64k of memory and built-in BASIC interpreters that you hooked up to a regular TV instead of a monitor and had everything built into the keyboard. They were cool.
