Rant-n-Rave #7

Posted by rockyran on June 23, 2006, 9:01 p.m.

Lucky number seven here, my seventh installment of my problems-with-the-world series. I honestly don't know how many Rant-n-Raves I'm going to have, but as long as I have something to rant about, I'll have a reason to keep the series going. Believe me, I have a lot of problems with the world too, so this airing of grievances will continue for a PRETTY long time.

Well, on to business. This Rant-n-Rave is made towards AIM talk, 1337 speak and the like. Now, I DO use AIM talk, but guess where? ON AIM. Whenever I chat with friends, am in chatrooms, text people in their phones, whatever you want to call it, I can, understand, AND use AIM talk because it's there to save you time. Seriously, you type "u" three times faster than typing "you", and you need one less key when not capitalizing. We're talking on the run here, so as long as we get the gist of what we're saying across to the other person, it's fine.

"Yeah, yeah, we all know this!" You might say. And to that I say "Shut up", because that's not what I'm ranting about. I'm ranting about all those ____ who NEVER capitalize, NEVER write out "you", NEVER punctuate and ALWAYS use abbreviations like "ppl", "plz", and crap. Seriously, you look like retarded [insert animal here] when doing this. I personally feel like you're not capable of spelling out "you" or "please". Just imagine if I always talked like this:

every time i speak like this i always feel someone disturbed and i also think other ppl feel disturbed or xtremely annoyed or w/e

Seriously, ^THAT speak really makes you look like a 3rd grader, even if you have an IQ of 160.

1337…WOW. Whoever thought of this should seriously get injured with a chair. It's so hopelessly pointless and does NOT make you look cool (or "1337" as we call it today) at all. While we're at it replacing letters with numbers, why not replace symbols with letters too?

Î ßęt Î'm ЅӨ КδӨĻ ŦåĺķįŊğ ĻÎКę ŦĦÎЅ!!!!

And who the freak comes up with this stuff anyhow? Some "1337" nerd scrapbooking Lucky Charms marshmallows? And it's quite amazing how something as pointless as such gets swept across the internet faster than a Californian wildfire. Seriously, the chances of anything that looks li3k th1s being cool are slimmer than an anorexic high school prep.

Seriously, though, I'm saying seriously too much XD

Well, I think that's all for now. Believe it or not, getting this stuff out into the open helps with general stress overall. So THAT'S another incentive to keep doing these!

Yeah to much is bad and it depends. Putting U instead of you is rediculus but would you type laugh out loud. I hate people that talk like that. On X-box are like "aw sweet lol I love this game I g2g ttyl."God that sucks. As for me my spelling sucks but i capitilize for the most part.

roflmfao…

rolling on the floor laughing my fucking ass off…

It certainly has more of an effect when not abbreviated, doesn't it? I agree with you all the way. But it's kind of weird isn't it? AIM speak cuts typing time in half, but 1337 speak doubles (if not triples) the typing time. No one's happy with the happy medium!
