That conversation would be awesome, if only it didn't take 10 minutes per message from all the ascii codes splashed in there.
Can I just point out that acronyms aren't fine? You're not going to stop people using "brb" "rofl" "lol" "kthx" as it's globally recognized now on texting and online, and there's an endless amount of acronym's like IIRC and AFAIK which are rarely used; but still seem to exist for
oh god I don't know why. And the rest of that destructive garbage somehow manages to spring from nowhere.
Why, I remember when nobody knew what "sry" was. Then suddenly, on a cold and windy night in 2003,
everyone's doing it. But it isn't difficult to type "hahaha" over "lol" or "rofl," people just have the attitude that it's the internet, so it doesn't matter. Who the fuck worries over grammar online, most of them think. While that's pretty much true, it depends on what you're doing.
I'm pretty much of a grammar nazi myself. Christ, when I played Ragnarok Online the amount of people who said "plz" was
uncalled for. That is by far one of the most annoying acronym's I've ever encountered. It's even worse when you have foreigners use it, where you just
know that they haven't the slightest clue what it means, but it gets you a heal. Follow the crowd.
The only time I feel it necessary to talk in short hand is during games. Take Starcraft. You're being zerg rushed. You're going to type wtf, not what the fuck. Times like those are perfectly appropriate as the game has a higher priority over your representation of spelling. Other times it's just annoying.
Lowercase is fine too, but a lowercase "I" just doesn't fit. Alot of people really couldn't care less about their typing, and that probably won't change. Regardless, it's one thing to describe yourself in a proper form, it's another to ruin it and continue describing.
There's nowhere I can't reach.
