Rubbish internet speak

[Booldawg]

I've noticed that several people often use the word 'yer' for yes - but only on the net. This usage totally winds me up. I know the net is full of acronyms that I would never use myself, but have learnt to get used to. For some reason this one really grates. Which 'net' speak do you hate the most?

[Ethel]

I too hate 'yer'.

But 'hun' really gets my goat.

[mycats]

sentences that start of as "yes thats great thank you, what ever you think"
and end up "yS datz gr8 thk U, wot eva U tink"
Or any sentence ThAt Is wRiTtEn LiKe ThIs (honestly, I saw someone write a whole paragraph like that once, I was baffled)

Oh, don't get me started on text speak - I'll go off on a rant!!

[Nick.Detroit]

I hate all of it.

It should be mandatory that anybody wishing to use a computer must first take a spelling and grammar test.

its a little irritating when people start a sentence with "ok, i was ..."

why start with "Ok"?

[Booldawg]

starting a sentence with OK, is a bit like all the people that have to conclude with 'you know what I mean?' The people they are used to talking too are usually of below level intelligence so they have to continually check if what they are saying is actually being grasped. It works both ways.

[joko]

and people who actually type 'like' in the middle of sentences "ok, right like, i was like walking and i like saw my friend who was like hello..."
i know people say it in speech out of habit and subconsciously, but to actually be aware of it and add it deliberately to your speech when typing is like you know kinda like weird. like

[Nick.Detroit]

The OK at the start of a sentence is like the 'raised inflection' at the end of a spoken sentence ... it's saying, ''what I am about to say is a load of cobblers, but I need your reassurance that you're listening to me and taking it all in''.

I dislike Yer , Hun and Chick and all these other terms of endearment that people use when talking to complete strangers on the internet.I hate txt spk....probably because I cannot understand it. People use it on their phones I suppose but I always type everything in full on the odd occasion when I am forced to send a text message to someone..and all these Lols and similar acronyms.People will be saying Lol in public soon !

The one that really does my nut in is "BUBI".

It's the females that like this one and it means goodbye I think.

What is the point???

BUBI for now chaps
