[ggirlballa]

"Fuckin adrocks look lyke sweet fuckin snow white. tha pretty ass mofo that be my d-wizzle homie mon"

haha :D

[QueenAdrock]

I understand jackrock pretty well. It's because he's Canadian and therefore anal.

lol.

[jackrock]

really? or are you just saying that?

QA: lol indeed :D

[ggirlballa]

really? or are you just saying that?

seriously...i can remember a few times were that has happened...

i remember once i re-read your post like 5 times and still didn't understand you at all...:confused:

not many people understand me eithier, you're not the only one:p

[RaZoRbLaDe KiSs]

I understand you perfectley Denise. Lol. i think its because im drunk most of the time and you talk like your drunk so i get you. Lol. no just kidding. I dont know why but I understand you.. though I understood manties too so.. I dunno maybe im just special...
I can understand illiterate people *cold breath*

[jackrock]

Although I should mention this isn't to offend, i was hoping others would post who they don't understand. meh.

[befsquire]

sometimes i don't understand fucktopgirl. it's probably not because french is her first language, but instead that cannabis is her true love.

[g-mile7]

Good. If U would rather give up then ask me 4 clarification on the things I type then your not trully trying to understand me (as edvident with this thread). With all the bigots, bipolar and/or pompous people on here you list me, espically considering you might not have read a good portion of my post done in a serious vain. Not mad with U Jack just ticked.

[TurdBerglar]

what?

[ggirlballa]

i understand you too kristen, even when your pissed drunk haha


yep i mis-spell a lot on here sometimes ...i'm not that good on the keyboard...my fingers slip a lot when i type or i'll forget to type in some letter or something like that or i forgot how to spell a word.:o

hey my 1st language was spanish like everybody in Los Angeles! haha

[tracky]

i think trouble to come understanding is often overlooked therefor people don't talk like english to them very well

[ggirlballa]

hey jackrock do mean what people i don't understand cuz they fuck up their spelling or the people who's personalities i don't understand?:confused:

[QueenAdrock]

With all the bigots, bipolar and/or pompous people on here you list me

I don't think he's trying to say he doesn't understand them like, why they act the way they do or why they say the things they do, I think he's just trying to say it's hard to read their posts sometimes.

I know it's hard for me to read fucktopgirl because of broken English. Not her fault because English is pretty different from most of the languages out there, but still hard to follow sometimes.

i don't mean to be rude but wtf is l33t?!?!

[Bob]

i don't mean to be rude but wtf is l33t?!?!

l33t = leet = elite...like computer nerd speak.

for example, "wtf" would be l33t

[vickista]

l33t = leet = elite...like computer nerd speak.

for example, "wtf" would be l33t


ohhh, thanks, i get it now:)

[ggirlballa]

l33t = leet = elite...like computer nerd speak.

for example, "wtf" would be l33t

wow i use that all the time:o

[Bob]

actually i'm not even sure if common acronyms like "wtf" and "lol" are even leet. leet speak is a little nerdier. mostly used in video games. words like "pwnd" and "nubs" and such. replacing letters with numbers is DEFINITELY leet speek. words like h4x0rz, for example

[g-mile7]

That is due more to a pet peeve then anything. I use "4" "2" "y'all" but the meaning is obvious and so forth but is it really necassary to type out laughing my ass off? My oh my this is wild I need to type out a spell checked essay for folks who go by "Turd"?

Turd: "Yes"

I'll answer for ya (you)

So every post I type out I write like that? Stereotyping Bobby?

[QueenAdrock]

I'm pretty sure the "y" in "type" counts as a consonant. But mebbe that's just me.

[Bob]

So every post I type out I write like that? Stereotyping Bobby?

ok, whoa

1) i was using the no vowels thing as an extreme example of a way of typing that's hard to read but still manages to convey meaning with enough effort. my point was that even though you still CAN understand there's really no reason to do it. nobody expects anyone to use the queen's english around here, but it would be nice if it were at least immediately comprehensible. your typing's better than THAT, but it's still hard to read, it's true, sorry.

2) what the hell are you talking about, stereotyping? all i'm saying is that you, g-mile, you, have sloppy typing. that's it. i don't know what stereotyping has to do with any of this. i'm not using your sloppy typing to make any judgments about your personality or generalize anything about anything else, all i'm saying is that you're hard to read. end. of. idea.

[The Notorious LOL]

If sloppy typing makes you black, does improper grammar and lack of punctuation make you half black?

[g-mile7]

Bob, I meant you were stereotyping my typing, not my race for goodness sakes. And the good portion of the few serious post I make do not reflect what you are saying.

[TurdBerglar]

is typing with two hands stereotyping?

[g-mile7]

If sloppy typing makes you black, does improper grammar and lack of punctuation make you half black?
So going off some perceptions of my ablity to type I am black and a half? Glorious days indeed.

[Bob]

i still don't get what you mean by stereotyping your typing though. all i'm saying is that it's often hard to read (even if you're not being serious i guess). it's like, am i stereotyping my car by saying that it's a honda? i don't understand

[Bob]

is typing with two hands stereotyping?

close the thread folks, it's not going to get any better than that

[g-mile7]

I type too fast. Mistakes happen. Simple as that. I dont think a majority of my post (stereotyping using the f ew instances I didnt make sense to you) constitues as being a sloppy typer.

[TurdBerglar]

maybe you should try monotyping... slow you down a bit

[befsquire]

close the thread folks, it's not going to get any better than that
i hate to admit that it took me a good 3 minutes before i got it. :(

Then I won't hit 10,000 post by the end of the year ;).

I'd think that with less letters like that, I should be able to read it faster but that's the point. I'm actually reading it just as it is..

Maybe it's the newer generations. Maybe the younger folks can zip right through it and mirror a response. I've never seen that type of typing till about 3 years ago and it's mainly done by the younguns.

[QueenAdrock]

Do they really eat that up there? And to think they have the nerve of calling US fat.

[ericlee]

Do they really eat that up there? And to think they have the nerve of calling US fat.

Hell, I don't know. I was just thinking of something stupid to say about it:o

True story though...When my wife first came to the states, we went to eat breakfast and she's never had pancakes before and she started dousing Tobasco sauce on her pancake. I was all like, "What the hell?" and told her to flip her pancake over so that noone would see the sauce on it. haha..

[QueenAdrock]

You know what they DO have up there?

French fries slathered in gravy and topped with mozzarella. Called Poutine.

I'mma get me a truckload, I'll make 'Murrica proud. :o

[g-mile7]

I just feel sometimes that due to whatever reason (comments I have made in the past, pictures, popularity, or race) I'm allowed less lee-way then some of the "stalwart" members on here (even the assholes get ripped less on serious acts then I with items such as typing). Its annoying that even after 3 years (although my post count doesn't reflect it) I'm getting ripped about "noob"/"nerd" type of issues. Some of the other members have brought this to my attention.

maybe it's lack of patience on their part. I can understand you and you don't go overboard with the l33t stuff.

Who knows. That poutine sounds pretty damn good though.

[cosmo105]

i hate to admit that it took me a good 3 minutes before i got it. :(
it took me going away from this thread then coming back about an hour later and looking at it again and going OHHHHHHHH before i held a lollercaust.

eh, maybe you're right. maybe i am doing that and i don't even notice it. i can see how i might do that. i'll be more careful about it in the future, sorry

Its cool. I apologize if I came across as accusing you of anything involving my race (given your second response)

[Pres Zount]

poor spelling, abreviations and leet speak I can handle, it's the poor sentence structure that throws me off with certain peoples typing.

[g-mile7]

hmmm....

If not understanding someone is why you're not understanding what someone is trying to say and if what they're saying is you don't understand them when they are saying what they want you to understand, then you can't expect them to understand you, because you have to understand that what they're saying is if you can't seem to understand that they don't understand you, not because you are the one that can't understand them and not because they can't understand what you're saying about not understanding what they're saying when you're saying you can't understand them, but that you're not understanding where they're coming from even though they feel like what they're saying is understandable to them and that you should be able to understand it too.

[TurdBerglar]

i know exactly what you mean, bro

ahhaha mickill(y)

so what you are trying to say is, that you want ppl 2 understand you o wut

i tried to diagram that sentence and now i have alzheimer's :( :(

p.s. the "y" in "type" is acting as a vowel.

p.p.s. the other day, cordo's boyfriend said to me "have you ever heard of poutine?" and I said, "vladmir?" and he laughed. PUNS.

[QueenAdrock]

HOW THE HELL DO YOU KNOW IT'S A VOWEL

and you should really try poutine. It's a heart attack you eat with a fork.

[Dorothy Wood]

because it sounds like "i", and you could very well replace the "y" with an "i", because the "e" at the end automatically makes the first vowel long.

[QueenAdrock]

You mean like how the gays use "boi" instead of "boy"?

I don't know, I was only half-paying attention.

[beastiegirrl101]

French fries slathered in gravy and topped with mozzarella. Called Poutine.

those are called disco fries in jersey.

[Dorothy Wood]

no...I think that's different. because when two vowels go a'walkin', the first one does the talkin'. so if the "y" were a vowel, "boy" would sound like "bo".

AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[abcdefz]

Someone attempting to communicate needs to accept a certain amount of personal responsibility, if "communication" is indeed the goal. (Dadaists can apply elsewhere.)

For instance: when I was a kid, my mom would often yell from the other end of the house, "A-Z -- ? Go get the thing; it's over there."

I'd deliberately bring her the most ridiculous item I could think of, and she'd be exasperated, complaining, "YOU KNOW WHAT I MEANT!!!"

Um -- no I didn't. Only a mind reader could.

Sometimes posts here are a somewhat better version of that. On more than one occasion, I'm the reader who screwed up and didn't pay close enough attention to what was originally written in a post; more often than not, though, someone starts protesting that people are "taking it wrong," only later to post certain critical information which hadn't yet appeared.

Worse yet, in my mind, are the folks who presumably should know English and a certain amount of grammatical structure, but just can't be bothered to shoot for clarity. Misunderstanding at best, lack of respect, or simple dismissal at worst is an inevitable result, and, really, what right does someone have to get upset if that's the result?

I don't think anyone clicks on a thread hoping that the respondants don't make sense. It's frustrating when that's the case. It's a message board, and the form itself imnfers communication rather than a certain disdain for connection.

A teacher once told me he felt an author of a book or short story has an obligation to hook the reader in some way, and make the reader want to keep reading. As a writer, you can scrap that idea at your own peril, but it's unfair to cry foul when your style is alienating or misleading and then you find yourself misunderstood or ignored.

[abcdefz]

Unless it's your desire to be misunderstood so you can further perpetuate the the burden of being misunderstood.

Hmm, before I been told once what I said sometimes makes no sense, but don't remember what I said to make me not understandable. But sometimes I don't understand me either, maybe I have a hard time wording things? :confused: Can't think of anyone I don't understand though, not even I Wear Manties.
