Word filter

[to4garret]

Hey, Idea,


Can the Admins setup the word filters so txt spk gets converted to normal English automatically?

Like

U = You
Duz = Does
Dnt = Dont
etc etc etc

Just so we can cater for our lazy members who find it too much effort to hit an extra key to fully type a word.

Either that, or can i be a C$NT to people to do write like 6 year olds?

members who don’t even attempt to even try and formulate a semi readable sentence makes this place look likes it’s full of kids.


Or... fix the report a post so we can report offenders to the mod team?

Here here....I agree totally.....

plus one.
although it has been shown that people who use txt spk have a greater command of the language than those who cant.

^ Bullshit. Are you for real??

I would love to read that study, sounds like it could be another high quality study from Monash university.

txt spk had its day, with the old Nokia's before predictive text messaging, when double and triple tapping meant spelling a word took two dozen indentation's to the thumb.

anyone who is using it now either,

• has a 10 year old Nokia (with internet access??)
• too retarded to spell or < 6 years old)
• too lazy to hit the extra fucking key
• thinks it makes them look cool to teh chicks
• their friends do it, so they do it to fit in (see retards, they group together)

it just plain makes whoever is typing it look like lazy fuck. doesn’t matter if the word is spelt wrong, lest you managed the motor skills to hit the fucking key.

 

[evo-gsr]

Agreed, once again..... Retard/s is probably too polite but...
Can only imagine how much that bullshit study cost the taxpayer too.

may not hurt kids, but makes adults look dumb

best thing about that article, the headline, "Study confirms TXT SPK doesn't hurt kids' language skills".

If it said something like, "Study confirms TXT SPK doesn’t hurt kids grammatical and spelling skills", then it might be worth something.


Language abilities are not the problem here, i am positive the members who write sentences in txt spk have totally understandable English language skills.

forgive the sarcasm!!! i just love returning peoples emails to them with corrected spelling. then asking them to send it back to me. but some people have called me a grumpy old C$NT. search why that would happen :blink:

 

[4piknup]

[to4garret]

You grumpy Brian? Never.


This is relevant to the topic at hand.

Also, Admins, dont forget the report a post is borked.

i like that.

in a similar way, when i was working at a timber mill, i saw some graffiti on a wall.
written was:
LIGHT
YOU'RE
WHOLE
i think the idea was to lick something, but it took me a while to work it out.

 

[BMGTZ]

You grumpy Brian? Never.

i live with constant pain! .......sometimes they are home and sometimes they are out!

 

[Gianni]

Asl plz?

 

[BMGTZ]

does asl plz

mean ...arse sore leave!....please leave, Zanda

 

[Gianni]

Ha ha ha. I originally thought it meant ass hole please.

But on my good old days of cyber chat in highschool and ducky porn.com I found out it actually meant age,sex,location please.

By the way, thank god for redtube. No more 30 second clips. Ha ha ha

Meh, if someone posts a tech thread asking for help and they're too lazy and/or stupid to use semi-decent english, I am definitely too lazy to reply. If a post is in txt speak, or has poor grammar/general spelling I assume they're too retarded to understand my reply anyway.

Ignore it and it'll go away :lol:

 

[GVR40]

This thread is gold. The amount of times it takes to read some of the posts on here is ridiculous!
