banned text speak

1337.jpg
 
i was speaking in slang, saying something like 'wot iz ***' [the last word there, if it gets auto-filtered, is a d followed by an a then a t]. someone suggested that that is 'text speech.' i am wondering what text speech is. i am familiar with
leet:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leet

my name r0n4ld0 is spelled in leet. i did this before i realized that it isn't allowed, and i offered to change my name but the mod in the noob section said it was fine. to my knowledge, dee aye tee is not leet. so is leet banned? am i wrong about leet being text speech?

thanks for the help.

That has to be the most annoying post I've ever read
 
The reason why it's called text languages is that because it is very inconvenient to type all the wording with a mobile phone.

It's different with keyboard, I type very fast with a keyboard.

Therefore, if you can't even bothered half assed to just play by the rule typing your mother language I presume, why should anyone bother to explain in depth to you.
 
Forget the picture, tell him to add some capital letters to the start of his sentences. Please!
 
What is that one with the bull supposed to mean? Is that 666 written in the middle?
 
lol. may i ask why it matters? do my sentences look malformed, like some sort of circus freak?

caps pwn my ¢ø©l<

Of course you may ask... Starting sentences without capital letters makes it just that tiny bit harder to read. Its probably okay when your post isn't a long one like the above but trying to read your first post in the Lippi thread for example can be a bit annoying - in fact I never read it just because of that.

Its no big thing really but then neither is adding a capital letter to the start of your sentences.
 
i will be the first to admit that when people choose not to use punctuation in their communications and eschew capitalisation in favour of spastification it causes me great consternation

On a serious note, I agree. It's extremely annoying, and you can't hope to be taken seriously if you write like that....
 
Just don't ask.

When we were kids the virgins used to pride themselves on their maths skills. Times have moved on a little.
 
very interesting. i've written scores of long, intense and detailed emails in my life and no one has ever made this observation before. and here are 3 people all agreeing without anyone opposing. fascinating. i will take it under advisement.

That's probably due to the fact that the only people you send e-mails to are fecking transhumanists!!!!!!1111

Geebs...you think you have it bad on this forum...try marking what are meant to be serious academic papers which are littered with 'u' (for 'you'), 'gr8' and 'y' (for errr...'why').

And then they get all narky that their papers are full of red corrections..and the word 'NO!' written in inch high letters, underlined at least three times (with exclamation marks).

I'd fail them

then i'd pound it into their heads with a nice wooden baseball bat
 
for those asking what leet is, there is a link on the first entry in the thread. duh.

i am laughing that several of you were laughing at me for knowing leet then respond by using it yourself. but i also enjoy hypocrisy based humor.

i have only become aware of transhumanism in the last year. really, its about evolution, people who are more interested in moving forward, empowering ourselves with technology science rather than preserving our current state or moving backwards.

naturally, this would rather ruin the game of football, which would be a real shame. i would hope that something even better would evolve out of the dynamic interaction of games and technology.

but enough about that.

where can i get some lulz??//?
