..the really really sad thing is that I understood it pretty easily when I tried to say it out loud. Perhaps that indicates over-exposure to my illiterate stressed younger brother.

I have a sudden urge to gouge my eyes out with a spork...

The saddest thing is, I can read it. gonk

what's even sadder is, i used to use "txt tlk" (or whatever you call it) so much, i slipped out an "lol"in a real conversation! so i read it really well, and i am proud to say that besides "lol," "omg," "ttyl," and "gtg," i haven't spoken like that on the internet (or in real life) in about 9 months. (9 months ago is when i slipped out the "lol.")
yay for recovery!! blaugh

Yo. Coming tommorow/after tommorow at 00:00 (WTF?)? Check on me during the week. Not supposed to be on (The computer). Talk to others, if something is unclear. C'ya, and hope to wright back sometime soon. Gotta go.

That is actually an accurate translation. I inserted all the () as comments from me.

Wow. If he's not supposed to be on, one can assume he's hurrying to type before he gets caught on the computer, but for me, typing like that would take a lot longer than typing like this. Makes no sense when you think about it. And '00:00'? Is that code for any time, no time, or 'I'm blowing you off'?

My bet's on the user referring to the 24-hour format, also known as "military time."

In your customary 12-hour format, that would translate to 12 midnight, if my intuitive knowledge of time does not deceive me.

Here is a translation:

Quote:

Tomorrow afternoon at 00:00? That makes no sense whatsoever.
