There is only one reason why they're here.

They make us laugh like hell.

A very valid point.

I wonder sometimes if people don't spend more time trying to abbreviate their words into "txt talk" that it would take them to simply write out a full sentence.

So they only exist for the sole purpose of our entertainment?

If they're here to entertain us, does that include being able to cap them in the head with an air rifle?

It should.

...Maybe they do it to provoke us! Or maybe it's a cry for help.

Or maybe they just don't know how to write a coherent sentence.

Or maybe I'm starting a post trend.

I agree fully on this. It takes much longer to write out a message in 1337 and txt talk, a friend told me so. It may be handy when in a hurry, but it's actually a bane to literacy.

Maybe... We should attack them with any weapons close to hand?

"So they only exist for the sole purpose of our entertainment?"

It could go both ways:

a. The reason stated above.

- or -

b. They exist only to annoy us. gonk

Holy crap! "ORLY" means "Oh really"?! eek Man, I never knew that. Seriously, I just thought someone put some letters together because they felt like it. Is it a good thing or a bad thing I didn't know what "ORLY" meant until know?
