I and Joe/Me and Joe - Don't you remember from 4th grade English you're supposed to mention yourself last? Maybe it was 3rd grade.
"I'm so stressed out!" - So is everybody else. Should WE feel sorry for YOU?
"I'm so tired." - Here's a new concept: Go to bed earlier, or take naps. If you have time to yak on the phone or play video games (or the AI Message Boards), you have time for those too.
they should all die--or at least not allowed to breed
they are sending this society down the tubes--too many weak people are allowed to continue in their miserable existance, which leads the dilution of the already pathetic genepool...
If you want your arguments and points to be taken seriously and if you want people to think that maybe you aren't a middle school girl then you should seriously consider spelling words out and possibly even spelling them correctly.

Amen! You have an education, so use it!

I hate:
u (you)
ur (you're)
4 (for)

i only use one on yer list--gonna have to try out some of the others...
and educations are way overrated--its what u know that matters--and in my case, its science--so what if i abbreviate?? have u ever seen doctors writing?? they abbreviate everywhere they can, cause they dont have time to mess w/ petty sh*t like writing...
and noone questions their education or knowledge.
big deal if some people choose to shorten what they type--its stupid to get pissy over such a trivial issue...
but on the other hand, its good that people in this world are back to normal...back to bitching and complaining about stupid and useless sh*t instead of real issues and complaints...
God forbid that complaints have relevance to reality...or at least something significant to real society outside of our cushioned and pampered little lives...

You don't have time, gomer? Right.
Doctors write that way on charts in a high pressure environment. I don't see many medical journals that say. "Next your going to get ur petri dish then u put teh culture in..."

exactly, but they still use abbreviations, and u dont question them. so whats the big deal? maybe what they have to write down has a bit more substance to it, but they still write shorthand--they get their point accross, and thats the point. simple, huh? as long as u get yer point accross, who the f*ck cares how they did it?? when im communicating in real life, when it matters, i get my point accross just fine...
but online...
kinda funny how stupid this whole conversation really is.......
Comments
got a problem w/ that???
too bad
its stupid to get worked up over it...its not like i really write like that...just too lazy to mess w/ that sh*t online.
in the real world, im perfectly correct grammatically, so makes no difference (although i admit to almost putting a couple "u"s in a paper or 2
its just simple shorthand dude--get used to it
Irregardless - It's not a word! Stop using it!

Ah, I feel better now.
stupid people suck

oh, and i hate cows too
your v. you're - "your" is possesive, "you're" is a conjunction of "you" and "are"
their v. there - "There dog is brown." idiots
ur v. your - "ur" doesn't even ****ing SOUND like "your"
To a lesser extent the use of "He and I" and He and Me" type stuff. Rule of thumb: Take off the "he and" to make sure it sounds right.
"They invited her and me to the party." - correct
"They invited her and I to the party." - incorrect
It's not just nit-picking it's a matter of clarity. I can speak in shorthand as well that doesn't make it acceptable.
<strong>I hate all people that aren't as good as me.</strong><hr></blockquote>
damn straight
(it's tough not being stupid...)
<strong>A lot of times I use u and stuff like that... what's so bad about it?</strong><hr></blockquote>
if u use "u," then u are a lazy bastard and deserve to die a long and painful death
I also shit on grass in public. I don't really see what difference it makes, it's not hurting anyone.
It's 'ur' choice, of course.
