I can never understand why some n00bs end thier sentences with "WTF OMG LOL!!1111!!!!!!" or something like it nomatter what they typed do they even seem to know what WTF,OMG and LOL mean and are they so exicted that they seem to forget that they let go of thise shift keys while thier fingers are stuck on 1, this has been bugging me for some time not.

I also don't get calling some n00b AOLers, is it that most retarded 12 year olds with little common sense use AOL or is there some other reason

 

[industrian]

I use AOL. The problem with it is that it advertises itself as a family ISP and it is a monopoly on the industry. That means that around 70% of all people will probably use it. 50% of those probably are complete n00bs and Daily Mail readers/ Moral Majority members, 20% are Everquest users and people who want "unlimited" broadband (like me )

A lot of short replies are from the "txt msg kidz" and generally people whom cannot spell, or realise that their lives do not depend on getting a forum post out in less than ten seconds.

EDIT: Is this a serious question or sarcasm?

I type LOL all the time...
I dont see anything wrong with typing lol or omg or whatever...I mean c'mon do you really have such a big problem with that? Do we realy hawe to question ewery little dum thing that people do? Can we all just get along and let people type whatever they want, I mean as long as you know what it means who cares, and if they dont,then it just makes them look dummer...omfg

no I don't mind people who use it properly like "LOL that's funny" or "OMG that's cool" but I am just asking why do people use it like "CSS IS TEH BIG ONE LOL OMFG!!!!11!!1111!!!!"

Besided If you hung around a little longer you'll know that I don't have a problem with habbits like that, I just want to know about it a little better

n00b is a way to diffrentiate between newbies(someone new but not retarded) and n00bs(complete retards online)

I always make fun of the lol'ers.....with LOL!!!!1111twotwtwo...something stupid....I like to use things like pr0n though....it's just stupid...haha, but I always try to type some what like I would write a paper...I notice that when people start doing stuff like "u" or "omg" they start to write like that...and will mess with your mind...I say take a little more time to learn to type right (some stuff I can understand like "brb") and you'll be doing stuff faster with out hard to read text like LOLERS8ter!!11!111

[industrian]

I'm surprised they allow you to post links to that site...

It's true though. If aliens did visit this world, they'd find bacteria a better race to deal with than humans.

I also remember the warnings I got from that

 

[Evil_Neko]

I don't really mind people talking in "l33t" (though I hate that term) its just when it is used to such an extent that the sentence becomes unreadable that I hate it.

as for why it happens, well that all comes down to the reason I hate the term "l33t" or "1337" as it means "elite" and therefor all the 12 year old american (it's not racist if its true ) children think by saying "OMFGWTF FFVII 1$ T3H B3$T [email protected] 3V3R !!!!1111!!!!!11!!!" everyone who reads it will think "Wow, that person must be really elite" when actually no one bothers to read it because it hurts too much.

so there you go the reason for that is the same reason for all the other unexplainable things in the world - people are stupid. OMFG [email protected] @ L0NG P0$T !!!!!1111!!!1!!!!!11!!!

>everyone who reads it will think "Wow, that person must be really elite" when actually no one bothers to read it because it hurts too much.

Actualy I tend to think 'Dear God, what an idiot' and cease to pay attention to anything that person says

 

[industrian]

l33t was once cool. But like all things, it got polluted.

I remember the Quake site with the l33t translator.

Anyone who uses l33t over normal writing nowadays is just a pretencious ass. Unless you're doing it as a joke . t3h n00bz r t3h r00l3rz ov t3h w0r1d!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111111

Side Note: I'm drunk as hell.
