I've been fortunate enough to have not run into too many people with horrible grammar. Some people do make spelling errors and things like that, but I can tell they're actually trying to speakuse English to the best of their abilities. I just came across one person who has really irritated me with her typing. I don't really want to name names since I feel that's a bit overboard, but it's driving me crazy, and I just had to vent, share, and horrify you all. blaugh

Here is an example: "OMG MA NAM£ IS ____ ND I AM LYK SOOO LYK RAWR !!!" (I left out the name for privacy reasons.)

"LYSM PPL !!!" AAAAAAH...

It's really frustrating and I've never even talked to the girl!!! What makes it worse is that she doesn't seem to be a very nice person since she seems to be harassing someone about being German... Referring to Nazis and stupid stuff like that. So sadly, that makes me dislike her even more. I hate to judge people before I even know them, but this really doesn't leave me with a good first impression. neutral

That is a true horror story. Just reading that makes me want to die.

{Losing faith in humanity...}

Hard to believe, but I used to think humankind is good in nature. Time and again, I was proved wrong.

That's why I went sadistic.

Yeah, they're a valuable asset in today's corporate operations. ::coughs::4kids::coughs:: Even a mentally-retarded numnut can be accepted into the exciting field of scriptwriting, plotmaking, and assistant secretary.

Case in point, have him/her apply for a job at 4Kids Entertainment. Ten Gold says she gets the job. wink

Completely and utterly horrifying. Even though I am decent at deciphering this stuff, that is completely below me. Translation, please?

And exactly what language is this person pretending to speak type? This is too scary for English, too hard to understand for French, not enough accent marks for Spanish, and too IQ-dropping for Latin... I'm guessing Pre-Paleolithic era...? No... this is too dense for even that...

I will attempt to translate this horrifyingly scary message.

Quote:
OMG MA NAM£ IS ____ ND I AM LYK SOOO LYK RAWR !!!"

"LYSM PPL !!!


Quote:
Oh, my gosh; my name is ____ and I am, like, so, like, rawr!

Love you so much, people!


1. 'Rawr' isn't an adjective, mush less a real word... eek

2. Nobody knows what 'lysm' means... Well, I didn't... I had to look it up... D:

3. What's so 'omg' about telling people what one's name is?

4. Using the pound symbol (£) doesn't count as an 'E.'

5. What is 'like' supposed to mean?
