but anyone who types 'lol', 'ftw', or other pointless acronyms ought to be shot through the head. what, you're too busy curing cancer to type the actual words?
lol
You're a funny joker.
I am with you ther spfc!
LOL
WTF
ftw??
fuck the what?
mognolian ftw!
*Laugh Out Loud*
ahem
LOL are
so derivative. They stole all of their beats from WTF.
Too busy to
properly capitalise your sentences there, huh, guy? Also closing inverted commas go outside any punctuation that is linked to the word.
havent you kind of missed the point?
There is no point ithink
It's some kind of post modern word experiment thread.
Textspeak
is up there with ringtone culture as one of the more hideous aspects of modern culture. And kids playing shit RnB through tinny speakers on the bus. I'm starting to think that mobile phones are more trouble than they're worth. We must put them all into a giant cannon and shoot them into space. Then, when I arrange to meet you at a certain place and a certain time you can just bloody well be there.
so,
it's ok to say RnB?
POW!
lol
really gets on my nerves. its just too overused. it doesn't seem as rampant on this site though
LOL!
Sometimes they fall out of my mouth.
Abbreviations such as CBA frequent my mouth often.
I SHOULD be shot through the head, you are right.
CBA?
See Bee Eh?
Can't be arsed.
It just FALLS!
Oh...
Oh.. dear
*loads gun*
Lol
Post on the right forum and I might actually read you're thread content. shitfuckpisscunt.
Well, seeing as YOU'RE so special
Can you at least use capital letters plz?
Yeah,
that is actually far more annoying.
i don't really see why it matters.
you seem pretty uptight, man.
ROLF
Harris
it's the overuse
Of words like awesome and rubbish on here that do my tits in.
Unless you're American, a 12 year old girl or both combined then please refrain.
FTW is also really fucking annoying, but I'm currently having therapy to block it out.
Rubbish?
I've been saying rubbish all my life, it's anything but American. You must be getting it confused with trash.

gtfo grandad
Throw him in the LOLcano
^^^^^^^
That made me LOL
me too
oh dear.
My Grandad died in the
LOLocaust.
its almost like
this thread was made with you in mind!
:)
this whole thread
has been a lollercoaster
Entertained everyone in the
LOLosseum.
I haven't LOL'd so much since I saw
Sue Po-LOLard and Jeffrey Ho-LOLand in 'You Wrang Me LOL'd' and 'Hi-Di-LOL'
also
anyone who abbreviates phrases such as DID NOT or WILL NOT as DIDN'T or WON'T.
fuck, that's so annoying, cutting words short just because it's easier to type and say, jumbling up language as if they think they have the right to decide how to use it, THEY SHOULD ALL BE SHOT IN THE HEAD!
The Dutch word for "funny" is "lollig".
Fact.
:D
You sir,win.
"because it's easier"
"don't" break your own rule as you state it.
Does this constitue an epic fail?
LOL
come on man
wakey wakey
"it is"
I think you meant to type
I worry that people genuinely don't see the sarcasm.
It is sarcasm, right?
Right?
Laughing out loud for the win!!
it's all about
jerry jackson

right...
I dont know what FTW means?
Its not a vines reference is it?
was just going to say that
FTW - For The Win, gcub2004, is so lame, it feels like a Hardy Boys/Famous Five/Jolly Hockeysticks saying! "Mmmm, semolina and sponge pudding for the win!" "Ra-ther, Henry!" "Gadzooks!". And NONE of you say it in REAL life.
The use of LOL in a painfully not a laugh out loud moment should be punishable with a severe beating though along with people that pluralise things because their common. And while we're at it, and in the music forum, Kasabian fans.
release your anger!
it's good stuff.
rules etc
Now, being conscious of how passionately people feel about this subject, would someone please produce a list of do's and don'ts for the infrequent visitor?
As there are no lols anymore, surely someone can find the time (if they're not busy curing cancer) to type this up and post it as the law?
be careful the pedants
will insist it's a list of
do's and do not's
no apostrophes necessary
there
Apart from it's.
noted.
Dos and Don'ts
is an example of plural forms and not possession, they shouldn't, logically, have an apostrophe.
BUT:
The plurals of words and letters are allowed to break this rule. So, as "do" and "don't" are words and not things, their standard plural form is : do's and don't's
You're right with your observation
(posting a social comment in the music board is also worthy of death!)
my pet peeve is the your/you're thing - the vast majority of people can't be arsed to work out which one is correct, and then even worse there's the small minority who think they are more cunning than the rest and write things like ' i'm thinking on you're wavelength' - aaaargh!!!
maybe sometimes
genuinely intelligent people make a mistake?
I've typed the wrong your/you're on occasion. It doesn't matter much as everybody knows exactly what you mean. Anyone who pretends to be confused is just a pedant.
to put into perspective
if people are too busy curing cancer I'd rather they got on with that, slightly more important, that
(which reminds me that if you have a work PC you should go here and put this on,
http://folding.stanford.edu/Download
"It is a distributed computing project which studies protein folding, misfolding, aggregation, and related diseases." i.e. it's working out the cure for cancer etc.
I love the thought
of some very serious boffin dragging herself away from the lab to post about whether Liam or Damon are better.
I should be busy curing cancer
but it is lunchtime, so I think I can have a little bit of time-wasting on the internet.
Yeah and do that thing that amyblue said, it is a pain in the arse trying to get enough computing power, so stuff like that is very useful.
uh oh,
Oh, grammer - everyones favourite subject! I would say that some people don't know they're mispelling words so it's not fair to say they can't be arsed. Apparently the whole your/you're issue is one of the most common grammatical mistakes.
I'm thinking there are worse things...
Like sitting in front of a laptop on probably the best and sunniest day of the year.
If you are going
to talk grammar, spell it right at least.
Actually, in this case who gives a flying fuck?
One of the most annoying things is adding another *comment just to correct a typo.
It's a messageboard, not the 11+ - everyone gets that you meant to type 'where' instead of 'were' etc.
well spotted
I wondered if anyone would say anything!
Roflcopters!
