A pox on you semi-literate cretins who insist on using it as a word.

[LincolnMcGrath]

1. You prolly ought to talk to adults more in the chat rooms!

[Nevernose]

2. You are probably correct.

This does not, however, render it invalid in the context of colloquial and/or vernacular speech.

[Zomby Woof]

10. they aren't even that

It's just lazy illiterate teens run amok on the web.

[Nevernose]

18. Summer vacation.

Sigh.

[jukes]

36. Z'Woof

HEY!, i'm 55, & love "kewlsp33k"!

but i guess it cd be mid-life crisis...

[Cannikin]

3. Fer real, yo. I mean, wuz up with that?

[Nevernose]

6. That is a totally cool game

Have you, bu any chabnce, read any of my numerous lounge posts wherein I discuss the almost alchemical mixture of LSD and Tron?

[Cannikin]

8. No! But I'm going to search for them now!

I've played this game to death.

[dolo amber]

4. I'm a lazy American

'Probably' has like...2 more letters! :P

[Zomby Woof]

11. your blue eyes

Are making me get up to send you a check for $50.00. EVIL, I say!

[onebigbadwulf]

5. PHX and FLG aren't words either.

burned? I think so.

[Zomby Woof]

9. they are the official airport shorthand terms

Therefore, not even close to being burned. Did I strike a nerve with your style of teenspeak?

[onebigbadwulf]

12. I don't know... is teenspeak a word?

Doctor Dictionary says no.

[Zomby Woof]

13. yep

It's a construct based on Orwell's newspeak. It's creativity versus illiteracy. Creativity wins, lazy illiteracy loses.

[nosmokes]

7. you're prolly right.

but so what?

hahahahahahaha!<<< in an evil but not meanspirited tone...

[philosophie_en_rose]

14. Shuh! What if??

U r rong. I not left behind. W. Rulz.

[Zomby Woof]

[arwalden]

24. "Addie" Is Not A Word. "Addy" Is Not A Word. "W00t" Is Not A Word.

"3" is not a valid substitute for an "E".
"0" is not an "O"
"1" is not an "l"
"5" is not an "S"
"4" is not an "A"
"U" is not "you"
"2" is not "to" or "too"
"4" is not "for"
"@" is not "at" (except in pricing and email addresses)
"M" is not "am"
"R" is not "are"

Good grief... just type it out folks. How much harder can it be to just type the word "am" instead of "M". Two keypresses for "am"... and two keypresses for "M". --- Just grow up and type like adults. I easily forgive typos and common spelling errors... but INTENTIONALLY misspelling words is just stupid.

Thanks for starting this thread Zomby.

-- Allen

P.S. I normally put people on ignore for using the word "prolly"... except in the cases of rants like this. (A most excellent post.)

[jus_the_facts]

28. HEY ALLEN.....*wOOt wOOt* ^. ^

....just checkin' to see if you'd *ignored* ME!! :cry:

...that wOOt I thought to be a whistle....which isn't a WORD but a SOUND put into word form....SO THERE! :silly:

:loveya: anyway!! :P

[arwalden]

30. Well... as long as you don't say "props" and "shout-outs" to your "peeps".

Then we'll be okay.

Loveya,
Allen

[jus_the_facts]

31. Whew.....

.....I shall refrain from takin' any language shortcuts from now on....JUST FOR YOU....and ZW o'course...oooo I meant OF course!! :D

[jukes]

38. jus_the_facts

the correct term wd b "onomatopoeia"

[jukes]

37. arwalden

i've got more broken knuckles than you've had boyfrends. hurts to type, use my right "fuckfinger" for letters, left forefinger for shift, but rarely shift. not lazy, just cript. if i typed out every word correctly, i'd never finish a post before the thread died!

don't be so judgemental, you prissy pedantic pissant!

(just funnin'!!)

[arwalden]

42. Oh Yeah? You're Treadin' On THIN ICE Bucko!

So there!

-- Allen

[jukes]

48. arwalden

[fujiyama]

25. That's why I use the word

"probly" instead :P

[JanMichael]

[ScreamingMeemie]

27. I'm prolly going to have some jello for breakfast!!

[Bertha Venation]

29. you should prolly explain your tag line

to us semi-literates, then . . . . ;)

32. Strong Bad's Rhythm 'n' Grammar CD

Any Homestar fans remember the Strong Bad Rhythm 'n' Grammar CD? It was an easter egg after the e-mail where he thows together a newscast.

>>And I don't care how they spell things on the Internet
>>When you E-mail me, you spell the whole word out
>>And I don't care that your cell phone has a camera in it...

there was also

>>Girl, don't forget to spellcheck
>>Or I'll come to your house and throw a brick through your dad's windshield
>>Windshield!

and

>>Y-O-U-R
>>Y-O-U-Apostrophe-R-E
>>They're as different as night and day
>>Don't you think that night and day are different?
>>What's wrong with you?

:D

[Speck Tater]

33. Two things are certain about language...

1. It is always changing.
2. Somebody is always griping about the most recent changes.

To Shakespeare, our best English is horrible.
To Chaucer, Shakespeare's best English is dreadful.
To your Grandparents your best English is marginal at best.
To you, your grand children's English boarders on sacrilegious.

"Proly" is currently acceptable to some members of one generation and not currently acceptable to most members of another generation. In time, when the old farts die off, it may become generally acceptable.

In the meantime, it meets the basic criteria for "word", regardless of what judgmental pronouncements one may make about it.

Remember when "Internet" wasn't a word? Remember when "forsooth" was?

[Radical Activist]

34. I'm fixin to make a nasty post about this

but i prolly shouldn't

[jukes]

35. samuel johnson

wd agree w/you, nodowt. but he was a pedantic, tightassed 16th century loser that no1 remembers.

no reflexion on you, o/c.

unless you'd like to test my blinding spider style gung fu!

[terrya]

39. Never mind. I couldn't come up with anything original. eom

[soupkitchen]

40. Prolly want a language cracker

[terrya]

41. And "nukeular" is not a word, either. Sorry to disappoint...

some people who should know better.

[DrWeird]

43. Sure it is.

Just because it's not in the dictionary (yet) doesn't mean it's not a word.

Wouldn't "semi-literate cretins" (or pseudo-intellectuals, for that matter) have a problem with an evolving and ever-changing english language?

[quisp]

44. you prolly got sump'in

'cuz wen ya go ta the libarry ta lookit up it ain't thar.

dang! I gots a na'kin stuck ta may shoe.

[matcom]

45. your prolly an asshole

:P

[Zomby Woof]

46. no

I am DEFINITELY an asshole! :D

[terrya]

47. Neither is : "Baaaaaaaack". As in: "I'm Baaaaaaaack"

That never ceases to annoy me. There's a word, "back" that's in usage. But there is no word "baaaaaaaaaaack". Please don't use it. Thank you.
