lol, u, ur, i... I hate all of those.

I think "teh" and "meh" aren't that bad, as long as they're not overused.

Oh, and mixing up "there" with "their" and things like that. Or a misuse of possessives...*shudder*

I agree. Has anyone noticed that the title of this forum is grammatically incorrect? It should be "worst" instead of "worse". ^_^

Sorry if someone already pointed that out, but I find it kindof funny. razz

"STFU" is probably the worst one I've heard so far.

"STFU" translated-"Shut The F*** Up"

I think "t3h/teh" is the worst. If you're going to put all the letters there, you might as well put them in order.

I get annoyed with all of it, but lol, rofloma is the worst I've heard by far recently since it is too over done with a lot of people. I saw some one write it on a paper for class, which is what threw it over the top for me.

"wutev"

Translation: Whatever.

I can't STAND when people use that. OH - also, I can't stand "idc" (I don't care), "idk"(I don't know) and people who take two letters off of words instead of simply spelling the entire word. Makes me want to wring their scrawny little necks. scream

Pweeze don't badmouth 'WTF'? I use that.No,I'm not a 'wannabe gansta' I'ma geek.And Proud,FOO`.
((I translated into my own language and WTF became "WHAT THE FOOD?!"

I think the worst words are;
bf (or) gf --Can't people spell anymore these days...
plz --There is no 'z' in please D:
wat --I sthound wike Tweety. :/
y --Because we all know 'y' isn't a word. biggrin
o --Because we aren't singing hyms or speaking Japanese.(I can for the most part.)
jw --Because you don't 'just wonder',there's a reason for everything.


Those are words I hate.

i H@t3 wn PPL Tlk LiK3 DiS && cuz DaT ShYt I$ S000 @nn0yiing!!11!!!!1!!
LAWLZ!11!!!eleven!!11!!!!1

I don't understand how people could sit and hit "shift" for every other letter AND automaticaly type "3" as "E" and "@" as "A" etc...

WHAT COULD POSSIBLY BE GOING THROUGH YOUR HEAD WHEN YOU TYPE THAT WAY?!?


"PPL" annoys me very much. So does "lol" because no one is actually laughing out loud when they type it.

Well, I suppose it is 'tlk' instead of 'talk'. It is highly annoying as it constantly reminds me of talc' (An abreviation of Talcum Powder) for some odd reason. I don't know about you guys, but I for one don't wish to be reminded of a product used on babies to prevent nappy rash when I am descussing the art of speech.

I hate ''w/'' ''j/k'' and ''u''. They are by far the worst. Other than 1337, but I dont even understand that, so I can pretend that it doesn't exist quite easily.

I really can't stand STFU, WTF, OMFG, OMG, and stuff that real people use in real life. I hate this! Everyone in my class uses these phraises, trying to sound cool. News flash! IT ISN'T COOL! SAY THE REAL THINGS YOU WANNABE GANGSTERS!!

Oh, same here! It's so irritating, I have a bunch of those people (girls, actually) in my Math class who do that.. stressed

Some phrases that tick me off:

'wat'
'u'
'luv'
'g2g'
'jk'

*Translation* I am the super uber leet typer. This took me more time than it's worth. This is what I hate to see used in a forum 'cause it takes me forever to read.

Truly, I learnt it because of a "english to leet" translator on a different website. Now when people type like that I can read it and say how what they said made no sense or some sort of thing. Truly that took me near 5 minutes to type, but like a minute to read and re-type. I don't know why someone would type like that seeings as it takes longer and looks foolish.

*Note* Anyone trying to read the leet part, I can't reverse my backslashes to this (the key under backspace with shift held down) . That kind of slash is non existant in this forum, and I don't know why.

People who use Meh and Teh are just trying to be cute. I find all text talk and that other weird one with the numbers and overly complex sentences annoying.
But, if I have to chose one... IMAO!!!!!!!!!! Die Die Die!!!!! I hate that one!!!!
stare Sorry, I seem to have lost it for a bit there...


I say 'meh', but not to replace 'my'. I use it like "Oh! I spilled something on my shirt.... meh", because I actually say 'meh' in my speech... biggrin

I don't mind text talk, unless I can't understand it.
Then I would ask the person to type it out again.
