Ahhhhhh, stop typing that!

[Jeysie]

Nuculer. Pronounced Noo-Keu-ler.

I have nothing but contempt for this non-word-mispronounced-look at me I'm an ignoramus-crap. This word needs to be stamped out before it's too late! And I fear it may be too late already.

Or non-word-mispronounced-look at me I have a speech impediment-crap.

It always drives me insane... when it comes to *writing* I have excellent spelling, good grammar (the comma/run-on sentence is the bane of my verbal existence), and a broad and accurate vocabulary. Yet when it comes to *speaking*, if there is a way to mispronounce a word, I will manage to do it every single time, even if intellectually I know what the correct pronunciation is. Sigh.

Anyway. Back on topic, pretty much all l33t speak and lazy Net abbreviations drive me insane. Of course, poor spelling and grammar *also* drive me insane, if I know the person is a native English speaker. I've had discussions of laziness vs. caring about clarity of communication with a fair number of fellow internet dwellers.

And I have a special hatred for the word "alright".

Peace & Luv, Liz

Harden up, or you'll never survive. It's a doggy-dog world out there.

My problems lie more with proper usage such as use of the word penultimate where they mean ultimate, and misuse of phrases like let alone, the greater/rarer thing is supposed to go second.

I don't mind lol, but I can't stand roflcopter or lollerskates and similar words. lol is at least short for something, but in an age where we're shortening everything, how did people start ADDING parts to words?

Misunderstandings of common terms also bug the crap out of me. "Should have" or "should've," not "should of."

"All intents and purposes," not "intensive purposes."

These sorts of things bother me, as well... There was one, in particular, that someone was using that made me just want to kill them So Hard. I should of corrected them, so they'd see I was smarter then them. Yeah... that's the ticket.

[Dog Moon]

l8ter

See, that never made any sense to me either. 8 already has a t in it, so that way, you'd be stuttering, late-ter. Should just be l8er.

My hate leans more toward phrases than words (though I loathe anything to do with "leet speak").

"I has" or "I can has" was cute the first 2,497 times. Now it makes me want to take a chain saw to someone's gonads.

Misunderstandings of common terms also bug the crap out of me. "Should have" or "should've," not "should of."

"All intents and purposes," not "intensive purposes."

And about a dozen othes than I see all the time, but have blocked from my memory like a traumatic event.

And don't even get me started on "less" vs. "fewer."

But now we're drifting into basic grammar, not net-specific idiocy.

Ya, I can has fewer of thats!

It makes my skin crawl when people write alot. Think about it people. It's a lot. You wouldn't type alittle, would you?

And by the way, there's nothing bad about dogginess. Getting eaten is what would bother me.
