  • Do you get the most crazy/random ass PM's?

    Here is just a sample of someone who has a contributed a huge total of zero posts to the site. I also can't stand this "txt msg subculture". You, not u. Honestly.

    "u" introduce yourself trying to hook up with me but don't bother go the extra mile to type the "y" or the "o". Way to win a over girl's heart.

    And the great part: I get the same PM just about everyday...

    Here's my PM:

    SomeDude: "Who R u?"

    -Me ??

    -Him "i am new to this site ... i am in Ontario ... do u have msn?

    -Him "where r u from?"

    -Me "I r from North America"

    -Him "where r u from" (again)

    -Me "What/who the fuck are you? Do I know you?

    -Him: don't F*&^ swear at me ... ur not friendly bye

    ROTFLMAO! WTF? I H8 that 2. Good 4 U.

    You need to put an ugly guy picture as your avatar and that will clear the problem of jackass PM's. However, the devolution of language is happening at an alarming pace and there is not much any of us can do about it except cringe and roll our eyes in contempt.

            I also find the dearth of basic grammar and spelling accuracy troubling to say the least. I recognize the fact that the language is evolving to meet the parameters of this new medium, but it still rankles.
            Where are pedants like me to go when the written language is reduced to such basic simplicity? If I can't be verbose I lose whatever joy I might obtain from the interchange of ideas. Without nuance language is a series of connected grunts.

              I wasn't cognizant of such aptitude by the participants who attend in this here online symposium whom spin forth polysyllabic propensities

              *sigh* I miss university. Good times.

              budget: used as a verb it describes what you try to do when your car is stuck in the mud. - "Dang he's stuck. We best try and budget him outta there."

              I also miss the t.v. show Quantum Leap? Anyone here ever view that when it aired?

                I too am troubled by poor spelling and grammar on many of the posts to this and other forums. I for one always double and sometimes triple check my postings, but even then every once in awhile something will slip through. I also realize that not everyone on this forum is a natural born English speaking person and I think everyone knows that the English language can be quite confusing with all the different meanings for words that are spelled the same. And then of course, some people are just lousy spellers (I love you anyway Lisa).

                    Sounds like you have a pet of the species r. Thesaurus .

                    I remember quantum leap, that was like back in the 80's or 90's I think.

                    Also I have never heard of the word "budget" spoken as such. Must be a Canadian thang'.

                    My favourite polysyliabic phrase: "Sumbitch" - say sum-bitch. Son of a Bitch; condensed into almost one syllable.

                    "That there truck's is a stuck in one helluva sumbitch"

                      The laziness of this generation

                      Shame to see the English language butchered as it is these days so that someone who is lazy, can save that extra second it takes to type the word properly.

                      My favourite polias... (yes, what LadyMissKier said) is...
                      Tubafore - say tu ba for ay. Definition = 2 by 4.
                      "See, we could put some tubafore's under the wheels and budget that sumbitch of a car until she no stuck no more."
                      Smoke'em if ya gottem!

                        As a writer, I find the (d)evolution of English in the internet age rather depressing. But it's worse that we're actually starting to accept, even incorporate our mistakes into our vernacular. I've heard that "definately" is being recognized as an alternate spelling of "definitely," and last year, I heard one of my professors use "irregardless" in a lecture. Seems that the lowest common denominator just keeps getting lower.

                        However, a more interesting phenomenon is the widespread use of emoticons. E-mail and texting can't capture the depth of emotion that humans are capable of exuding, so we've used otherwise-insignificant punctuation marks to convey emotion in culturally-acceptable ways. The inclusion of ":-)" can have a huge impact on how your reader interprets your words; since e-mail is the least-personal of communication methods, we had to find other ways to improve on that. A colon, a hyphen and a right-bracket - three seldom-used punctuation marks - are merged into an easily-understood expression of emotion. Swap the colon for a semicolon, or turn the right bracket into a left bracket, and you've changed the emotional expression into something completely different. Now, we even have animated characters designed to do the same thing.

                        I'm fascinated by how language evolves to work with new technologies, and how new terms and concepts enter our vocubulary. For my part, I try to maintain correct grammar wherever possible, while still incorporating newly-available means for personal expression.

                        For example, this was how yesterday went for me:












                        Probably not too hard to figure out!

                        Whether you use words, punctuation marks, or emoticons, the point of communication is to convey ideas to others. The method is entirely up to you, but rest assured, the validity of your message will be determined by your choice of medium.

                        In short, the medium is the message - and as our media become less precise, our messages do the same.

                          Any language is a form of communication, and I guess if one wanted too, they could probably write a convincing thesis that any form of communication is in it's own way, a language. So if people feel that this new "internet" language with its common 1 letter words and emoticons can still get the message across it may be deemed acceptable here and in other places on the web.

                          But whether it is through the proper use of the English language or a (for lack of better term) a bastardization of it, we still have the option of choosing which way we want to communicate. How we choose to express ourselves reveals just as much, if not more, about who we are, as is the message we are trying to communicate. Therefore, when reading posts (I am a newb here so there is plenty for me to catch up on) I try to absorb more than just the written word since I believe if you can get an idea of who the person is behind their comments, you get a better understanding of what they are trying to say... whether it is in good english or not.

                          Impressive (and this is not meant as a jibe but a compliment), here I though Marshall was only quoted in Universities and somewhat decent Canadian Heritage clips. Who knows if the economy doesn't pick up, we may even get a taste of Nietzsche soon. or should that be

                          P.S. Nikki my compliments on the good day you had yesterday, especially being able to go to sleep so soon after 4:20

                            Wow, I just started getting some very uncomfortable flashbacks from my two-week stint in Semiotics 101. . . scary!

                            Thank you, my dear musketeer! I think you'll notice a vast range of discursive prowess from the various contributers on this board. Fortunately, many of the intellectual heavyweights have already weighed in on this particular thread, and you'll meet many more who offer great insight to various issues.

                            On this board, you'll find plenty of ordinary men, a number of articulate supermen (had to squeeze that in somewhere!) and a handful of girls who are quite capable of blowing your mind (and a bunch more who can. . . nah, that's too easy). There are lots of lurkers who just like to watch, others who bully their way into every discussion thread, and many more who fall somewhere in the middle.

                            It's quite a diverse forum, but a surprisingly-intolerant one - take everything you read with a grain of salt. One need not go far to see how ridiculous things can get, and there are a couple of active threads that serve as perfect examples - I think the theory is, "sling enough mud, and some of it's bound to stick" and there are some heavy-duty mudslingers wandering around these parts.

                            As fun as celebrating 4:20 can be, I'm too busy these days to end my day so early. But it certainly makes for the perfect nightcap, and I definitely needed something to ease the pain of that 7-5 Vancouver loss last night. . . poor, poor Mats!
