Why cant people just write what they mean it words? And spell as well as they can too. That way everyone would be able to understand it all.

*feels old even though she is only 20*

effervescence 16-04-2008 07:45 AM

akita 16-04-2008 12:31 PM

Detour. Derail 16-04-2008 01:16 PM

I always type in full English...It bugs me otherwise :P
you know what I never understood?
"Boi" instead of "Boy"....
same number of letters...so its not exactly quicker
just...WHY?! :/

*faerie-dust* 16-04-2008 03:28 PM

Oooh I am with you! I'll use abbreviations such as btw and tbh, but things like "boi" are so annoying. I also hate the whole putting z on the end of words instead of s. It's so pointless!

effervescence 16-04-2008 11:17 PM

night nurse i think you're right originally but now it's been corrupted and people use it all the time to be 'cool' - like chavs often refer to boyfriends as "my boi" and 'my hunni" - another one that irritates me
