I'm saddened at this sort of post (c @ p and reposted here from another board)
yet I can still decipher it.
 
*screams*

i kinda and coz...but that's something else entirely!
 
i think it's more difficult to bastardise the english language to that extent than it is to write properly...

but then, i can't even bring myself to use shorthand in mobile phone text messages...

I hope that person is mentally disabled, or has a tumor pressing on something.
It's the only acceptable excuse.

Laziness isn't an excuse anymore?

I myself belive the person could be quite smart. Imagine if you will wandering into this mind. One that doesn't spellcheck. I bet posting this way saves time and allows one to boost your post count and quite possibly post on several forums at once. ;)
 
i think the content bothers me more.
a parent who encourages their child to skip school...nice!

Her dorta iz tha joy of her life shez da bestest.

I feel slightly ill and can read no more. Hold me?
 
After reading about five words I've decided: I refuse to try and read that anymore.

If I read it right, and that is a big if, she just got her out of going to an assembly; which are boring and useless, in my experience.

I get the sense the mum perhaps skipped a bit of school....

When I was growing up, we got thumped upside the head if we didn't talk or write properly. My dad would have a field day with this person.

Being online is no excuse.

pass the excedrin please
 
Jet another sign that our kids (us too) are getting lazy. Although it is lazy to come up with another "language" and learn it? Not so much about being lazy as they see it, more about saving time. So then the question is do they not value me enough to take the time to type the damn thing out? :rolleyes:

Holy crap! It would be easier to learn a legitimate language. At least I could put that on my resume.

HC! IWBE2LALL. ALICPTOMR.

^what she said. :D


And lol!
 
Just last week my daughter's first grade teacher said that the other teachers are having to help remind fourth graders and on up to actually use a capitol 'I' when they write about themself. This made me realize that kids are getting into this way too young. It feels like they should be getting a full education first before this stuff. Maybe high school is a better place for that lingo?

IMO

BTW
