People typing like dey iz from da ghetto - GT-R Register - Official Nissan Skyline and GTR Owners Club forum

MIKEGTR · 2nd July 2008, 08:32 PM

Text talk is bad enough on a forum, abreviation is fine even, but what really winds me up is bad boi ghetto talk.

i.e. Yo blood me R32 iz booming like, but i iz thinking ov doin sum mods to make it a fly whip like.

Even if you talk like an idiot, why write like one

I think it annoys everyone mate.

It makes me wonder how far in life these people are going to go if they can't string a conherent sentence together.

I can`t stand that lazy arsed way of typing either!!!
I do however, laugh sometimes at the people who abbreviate "Run what you brung" to RWUB!!!!

Why change the Y to a U?? It doesn`t save you typing any less letters, it just makes you look stupid and real dumb!

i hate this as well...
but what angers me more is i cant read it let alone understand it even when i hear it...

paul creed · 2nd July 2008, 10:29 PM

Equally as annoying, is people that do not reply to PM's MO

, but yes, the text type talking can be quite annoying. The silly thing is, it's not just the way they type, they try talking like it too...sounds ridiculous

Yes, it annoys me as well when people can't construct a conherent sentence

see this is what i dont get, this "ghetto type" stuff people do find hard to read, but, and this is fact, if you type some words together, useing just the first and last letters correctly, and jumbling up the other letters in between, your mind still reads it..... i`ll show you:

one day, tehre was smoenoe who cuodndlt dciede wehhter or not tehy wulod bthoer gtetnig up out of tiehr bed. so itnsaed tehy toghuht it wluod be btteer to klil temhslevs
