"1 Gys. Im bred. Jt browseing yout bedong notheing"


And this person speaks english just fine.

It makes me cringe. D':
I mean, it's totally understandable that some people aren't all too familiar with all the rules of grammar because they aren't fluent in English... [It's so stinkin' hard to learn, no doubt xD]
...but it's just flat out terrible when they know the rules and don't make an effort D:
Ignorance, basically.

@despair OH GOD. o-o I got NUTS when I see someone write like that. D: Some of my friends on Facebook do the same. >-< I spend like 3 minutes staring at the comment trying to figure out what they are trying to write. xP I mean, I can easily see what word you want to write if you make a typing mistake.... BUT THIS IS LIKE SOME WHOLE NEW LANGUAGE! >:[

@despair
That gets on my nerves.

I mean, if someone can't fluently speak English - I'm okay if they can't do it that well, but when English is your native language - I get kinda mad.

@despair

I think its immature well in this case, thats really stupid and bad, a little bit of bad grammar on purpose to really spell the way they pronounce a certain word is fine, example, since I was 3 I pronounced "here" and "there" like "hir" and "thir" now people dont mind it and think its quite amusing...

@despair And honestly, I think english is easy. Compared to french that is. oAO The verb times are simple and there are not much, and the adjectives don't change if the noun if female or male. πŸ˜‹ And a bunch of stuff like that. o3o I mean, sometimes it seems like they do it on PURPOSE. >-<

@whispers I know. If they literally can't speak it, it's 100% understandable. But, when you CAN, and don't make an effort, it's all....ugh.





@stellie Yeah. After all, it is a chatroom. But, people should at LEAST know what you mean.

Chat speak works with phone texts, but putting new words without some letters everywhere is completely different. It's like telling someone on the internet, "the same color as my dog's collar!" How is anyone supposed to know that?!

I'm okay with acronyms and like some things I purposely spell wrong but it's horrible when you can't even understand what people are typing D;

Oh dear lord. If I managed to offend someone in anyway I do apologize, but in our generation most of us humans like to dumb down our vocabulary because it is apparent that it is too difficult for most of these people to add on a few extra letters, instead they shorten them down leaving out a few letters as if most of us can interpret what they're trying to say.

Humanity nowadays, it's a shame.

I'd like to clarify to those who do this be well aware that this is the Internet, and if you are trying to communicate with another being, be sure to use proper grammar, not everyone will understand what you're saying.

Pick up a dictionary or a thesaurus once in awhile, might come in handy.

@zafeyry Nope. o3o Second language. French is first. P: Of course, I understand the fact that some people have a hard time learning new languages, I guess I'm just a bit more comfortable with it. ^-^" I'm not trying to insult anybody... o3o

@chapus2009
Wow O_o You fooled me XD And since you're from Canada, don't you sorta learn French and English there, depending on where you live? Like if your native language is French you'd learn a little English in school or something?

@Despair It's AWFUL!!! For all we know, "yout" is your or you, "bred" is bread, "it" is Justin Beiber, "bedong" is Bedouin, "1" is one, and "Gys" is gee. Let's read it that way:
"One gee. I'm bread. JB browsing your Bedouin nothing."
Hmm, that doesn't seem right.
