Internet lingo

[SuperShyGuy]

So which of these above mentioned things about the internet bugs you the most? I know, it's cruel to make you pick only one. Personally, I went with the shift key thing - that bugs me endlessly.

Another one that bugs the hell out of me personally is when they send one sentence at a time. They can't like type a paragraph and then send?

Cap

My shift key doesn't work well and it may take a full minute to get a capital letter. For some reason I perssist. Oh, and I get double letters wanted or not sometimes.

If I added all the time it's taken to make capitals and correct unwanted doubles over the last month it would amount to hours. I could have yanked the board out of my laptop and replaced it with a good eBay purchased unit about 20 times.

Maybe I should consider doing that

You don't have it up there so I didn't vote, but my problem is spelling. I hate seeing spelling mistakes.

That or go to Staples and get a good stripped down version of a keyboard I have a Micro and I love it.

Okay Vinde don't tell on me but I keep a dictionary real handy. It isn't the big words but the little ones that get me. lol.

Yeah, I forgot about spelling somehow. Honest spelling mistakes don't bug me (except "alot") but what gets me is people who think mispelling words is cool (or kool or kewl or god knows what else) - around here it's known as the GB. (there's those damn smilies again)

That's ok because i'm guilty of the paragraph thing and not using capital letters all the time that i should. I guess i just get lazy. (Damn there's a smiley too)

I think that it funny that we have such amazing lingo, when we are scattered all over the planet, from so many different cultures

You have a very good point PepperTed. Not to mention that English is a second language for some of us and it can be really hard to get it right all the time.

Indeed, I bet some of those cryptic mispellings and abbreviations must be tough for these people sometimes... which gives me another reason to avoid them. (damn me and my smilies)

 

[Native Alien]

And we really appreciate it SuperShyGuy when you do avoid those things.

Abbreviations drive me insane- I'm very familiar with the military and their alphabet soup of abbreviations, however, it doesn't mean I have to like it.
People who don't capitalize don't bother me- personally, I have so much I want to say that the shift key is just a hindrance.
Spelling errors are a pain~ as my english background rears its head... I'm am guilty of these as well, usually the small ones "adn" is a huge problem for me.


That's pretty much it.

I am afraid using the shift key is my downfall. I can type pretty fast but for some reason, I just never have gotten the hang of it.

And I also have a dictionary on my desk, just never knew they were dangerous.(insert laugh,,,not the LOL).
One week ago I was trying to pick mine up with one hand, it is a very large hardcover book, and I dropped in on my foot and broke a metatarsal.I told myself, that will teach me to play so many games here on Literotica.
