Tally Marx Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Over the past three years I have done some research, and I have since discovered that Text Talk was invented by three groups of people: 1) those teenagers who wanted to disguise thier inappropriate conversations so that prying parents could not read them. 2) those kids who felt they couldn't use up their monthly limit of texts fast enough 3) thos ewho could not spell worth a bent penny and needed a valid excuse for their ignorance with the last being the most influential. Txt tlk is not an evolution of language; it is a devolution. dynkta? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maximilianus Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Oh heck no...Micah I know you are not complaining about the use of acronyms when you are guilty of this [quote name='AudreyGrace' timestamp='1295469345' post='2201885'] I've never understood the whole "teh" and "lulz" thing....... [/quote] and I'm pretty sure you might be guilty of this [quote name='IcePrincessKRS' timestamp='1295473330' post='2201912'] I've never liked it. I also despise lolcats.

tnavarro61 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 [quote name='Micah' timestamp='1295452484' post='2201812'] I still haven't figured this one out. [color=#595959][font=arial, verdana, sans-serif][size=4][/size][/font][/color] [color=#595959][font=arial, verdana, sans-serif][size=4] [/size][/font][/color] [font="arial, verdana, sans-serif"][color="#595959"][size=4]haha not just Americans. All English speakers have a lot of slang. It began with the overlap of English and Latin, and English and French. Scholars employed bits and pieces of these different languages where the English was inadequate to convey the proper meaning. It sort of assumed everyone spoke nominal French. Then England colonized 1/4 of the world, which led to a whole bunch of language mixing. Then in the modern age, English was adopted as the [i]de facto[/i] language of international relations. So English has become somewhat of a malleable language. [/size][/color][/font] [/quote] Very academic, Micah! You will make a good professor!

AudreyGrace Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 (edited) I'm a nerd but I can't say lulz or teh anything with a straight face. ironically, lolcats make me laugh. Because it's cats... and if they were to talk, they might sound like that. Look at me calling myself a nerd and talking about how I think cats would talk... I'm awesome!

Ed Normile Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 [quote name='Micah' timestamp='1295447399' post='2201771'] you know who you are But seriously, last night someone said IDK in chat. And I just saw someone (Nick) say AFAIK. Seriously?? AFAIK?? Why can't we just write I don't know, or as far as I know. Because whenever I read those I don't spell it out--I actually think eye-dik and ah-faike. /rant [/quote] Man, IDK why anyone would be so lazy! AFAIK its not that hard to type even using one finger as I do, if he were around today using computers I wonder WWJD ? ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
