92xj Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 (edited) Is it a new trend to try and type exactly how you talk? By doing this, your typing makes you sound like an idiot. I don't care if you are a redneck, yankee, west coast looser or whatever else you want to try and be, but to try and type like the accent sounds is stupid. I know people actually have to put an effort into typing this way. It's a wasted effort. Just type normal English and don't worry about the accent and what people might think. It gets really old... I admit, I might have typed like that once or twice in my life, but I do not make an effort to do it every time I type something. Fyi, this is not a Canadian rant either, you folks can say and type "eh" all you want. Edited February 12, 2010 by 92xj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tominator Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 We have 2 days for this already. One is foniks day and the other is the homonym challenge. I believe the homonym challenge (which your post already has a few examples of) is coming up soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92xj Posted February 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 Homonym- That's not that bad. At least they are spelled the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92xj Posted February 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 Wut you talkin bout? Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. No sir, no wrong side of the bed for me. I am in a dang good mood, short day at work, looking at engagement rings :ninja:, and looking forward to the three day weekend!! It's just something that gets really annoying while reading online. I do get annoyed sometimes, imagine that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevebeilgard Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 Do you need cheese? sounds to me like he's cheesy enough...:hammer1::D most folks, including me, don't choose to use proper english here. also, most are pretty poor spellers. some can't even puncuate properly. can you believe it? and HEY NOW, what's this engagement ring stuff? can you fill us in?

92xj Posted February 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 So would puncuate be a better word for the homonym challenge, or foniks day? Homonym challenge would be no good typing. They are spelled the same but sound different. It's hard to hear the sound difference in typing. Now, homophones is a different story. I can sea that beeing sumthing everywon could do inn a challenge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

92xj Posted February 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 What is the difference if someone types to sound stupid or actually types quite well and is stupid? :stupid: That all depends on if I know them in real life. If I know them in real life, I would want them to be smart and type stupid. Once on the internet I would not converse with them and be apart of their stupidness (is that a word?). Now, if I don't know that person outside of the forums, I would want them to type quite well and be stupid in real life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92xj Posted February 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 Sea, now ewe just mixed foniks and homonyms Seriously? Google told me otherwise. :bang: So, what's homophones? Besides Kyle listening to a walkman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
