Haha far from it Just reinforcing Consis' point that it's not about capital letters mixed. Leet warps the phrases and messes with the syntax so as to look as ridiculous as possible, hence the annoyance. Talk about nonsensical randomness. Anyway there is not much more to be said.

Seriously, though, I hate it when people write like that. It's really annoying.

On the other hand, it's an easy way to identify idiots.


Yes Mvass, that is why I have seen you talk like that many times in the VW.

But I do agree with you, it is really annoying.

The origins of 1337 speak, and webebonics, the Mytical version.

Once apon a time a couple of people were sitting around just chatting away, to the 3 or 4 people they had as friends.  One of them was sitting under a bowling ball, which fell and hit his/her head.  The others were not aware of this. Now the person had a hard head, so all it did was rattle their brain a bit, so they started typing weird, and 'leet' was born.

Seriously, it had to have been something to do with brain damage. Would explain a lot.

Well...

The point I was getting at, and still IS my point is that I couldn't understand what the heck was being said in that all out slaughter of language as it was. More aptly my eyes were about to bleed just looking at it and my brain was going to explode trying to comprehend it in any way, shape, or fashion. *laughs* I'd like to think that i can usually translate just about anything out there...but that one...well...it got me, and it got me GOOD. LOL *ugh*

I have NEVER heard of Pokemon speak...and at this point in the game, I doubt I'd like to. Although I did play some of the pokemon games with the kids and liked them for what that is worth...okay so excuse my ignorance on this, but is the pokemon speak have anything to do with the actual games?

@ mvassilev: I could NOT make any sense of whatever THAT was...*laughing* translator please?!? Don't feel bad alcibiades...I am sooooo with you there. *laughing*

I could've sworn that Setitetart said somewhere she was open-minded

You know, ebonics, aka African American vernacular, isn't that much different from other regional dialects.  And many of their phrases are rooted in southern slang.  

For example, 'finna go' is a derivation of 'fixin' to', and I know of a few people who can't say enough of that phrase.  The brothers and sisters aren't the only ones who use the habitual be.  You know, the "he be" or "she be."  There are blocks of Canadians who use it.  And please don't tell me you find the Scottish brogue more understandable than a black person who's back on the block.

So lighten up.  Life's too short to be an internet grammarian and stalwart defender of the way a language is supposed to be used.  Languages are always shifting and changing.  As long as you can understand the other person, it's a good idea to not get too distressed about the differences.


Awwww Gootchie...you little nerd. *laughing* I am NOT being an Internet Grammarian, but jeez...tell me you didn't look at that and seriously want to puke? And you know better...I am open minded, and generally don;t have issues with most "dialects" but please please don;t sit there and tell me jive talk and ebonics are a freaking "dialect". Until either or any of the above "dialects" are recognized as such I still say they are a poor excuse for english. And I would dare say I can understand a Scot over your average ghetto talking black "back on the block". Give me a break...now you're just picking or trying to get my panties in a twist. I might add I am pretty good at translating some of your grunts. AKA "man-speak" which my husband also employs. So there. Neener, neener boo boo. Should we say THAT is a dialect as well? *laughing*

@ Acu: Punk.

@ Elvin: J00 4rE T3h SuX n00b!!1  Imaginative...*laughing* so does it traslate to "you are the sucks noob?" *hysterical laughing*

No kidding mystic...I think I will second that one. *smirks*

But either way, all of this goes to show that there are some weirdos out there aren't there? *grins*

See what temperance and an interest in showing restraint and moderation gets you?  Listen up kiddies.  It gets you called names.

Wise man say, anything before 'but' is bulls***.  


I will sit and stand and lecture you that jive, ebonics, whatever you want to call the lingo that them there other people who ain't like us use, is recognized by linguists.  I just took a class on the history of the English language last semester.  Needless to say, it was eye opening.  Good stuff really.  

If you can understand a Scot, you've never met a true one.  And I'm not talking about the dumb accents people who go to renaissance fairs use.  Those don't count.  Nor does Scottie from Star Trek for that matter.

Grunts, most of my grunts came from television and movies.  Let's see, Young Frankenstein, there were some good grunt in that flick.    In the 80s there was an SNL skit with John Lovitz as Tonto, Kevin Nealon as Tarzan, and the immortal Phil Hartman as Frankenstein.  The skits usually sucked but I always laughed at Frankenstein's grunts.

Uh, and last but not least there was a episode of Home Improvement where some dude hit on Tim's wife.  He was thrown out of the house but had to come back to get his tools.  The final conversation between him and Tim was in caveman grunts where he apologized.  Stuff of legends I tell you.

No, I'm not picking or getting your panties in a bunch.  I'm seriously trying to educate you.  Those who know the least about certain subjects often have the strongest opinions about them.

Quote:
The real point is, women cheat when it comes to arguing.  And the more these harpies group together, the more vicious they become.  And when things don't go their way, they escalate.



I read this somewhere in another thread  and thought that it needed to be commented on. First, it is a matter of weak opinion that “women” argue unfairly. I once lived with someone that could argue himself into believing what he was saying, even though he knew it to be wrong, was true. I think what you meant to say was people tend to argue unfairly for the most part in general. When we argue almost always we are trying to sway the mindset of another. The fact is that lawyers, politicians, and just about anyone that believes to have a wealth of knowledge on a subject argues unfairly.


Moving on:::::

In this case I know firsthand what you are talking about is true. I lived with a guy that was just incredibly smart (book smart) and this subject actually came up. He told me the same thing about Ebonics. So I guess we can stop looking at whether this is true or not and just get down to the point.


It does not make it any less annoying just because it is a recognized language.  It is like being in a room with someone with Tourettes Syndrome, you know he can’t help it but **** it is still annoying as hell. Well it is the same as Ebonics; it is not even a pretty language to say the least, I feel like I’ am doing time when I read it.  

Ebonics Phrases
Yo - Hello
Sup? - How are you?
Dope/Dizzle - good
Off da hook/hizzle/hizza - very good
Whack/Whizzle - bad
Da Kronik - good weed
Peeps - people
Ni/Nizzle/Nizza - Man/friend
Dawg/Dizzle/Dizza - Man/friend
Beeatsh - Woman/female friend
Ho/Hizzle/Hizza - Woman/female friend
Pimp'd up/out- well dressed
Ride/Rizzle/Rizza - Car
5-0 - Police  


Now boys and girls lets make some sentences for the day shall we?
                                 
            ***Digs out Mr. Rogers sweater***


Yo peeps your Ho lookin dope like off da hook beeatch.

Da kronik ni is dope and niga blow dog we need the 5-0 ride its dizzle Da-Dang dog.

Dis what you po on da ground an shih when people can't be dere wit ya - Drinks an shih like Gin an Juice - punk beeatch!

Last but least the Ten Commandment sin Ebonics:


1. I be God. Don' be dissing me.
2. Don' be makin hood ornaments outa me or nothin in my crib.
3. Don' be callin me for no reason - homey don' play that.
4. Y'all betta be in church on Sundee.
5. Don' dis ya mama ... an if ya know who ya daddy is, don' dis him  neither.
6. Don' ice ya bros.

8. Don' be liftin no goods.
9. Don' be frontin like you all that an no snitchin on ya homies.
10. Don' be eyein' ya homie's crib, ride, or nothin.

And did they tell you in that class you took, just last semester, on the history of ENGLISH that AINT is NOT a freaking WORD?!? Let's not forget that "them there" is about as "redneck" as it gets...blah, blah, blah.

If you can understand a Scot, you've never met a true one.  And I'm not talking about the dumb accents people who go to renaissance fairs use.  Those don't count.  Nor does Scottie from Star Trek for that matter.


Yes I HAVE. You forget that my trip to Estes Park was during the Scottish festival. Plenty of REAL Scots and kilts to boot. Dingdong. I wasn't counting the Scot wanna-be's at the Ren faire, nor was I counting Star Trek. I HATE Star Trek.

To make it simple.
Some women are just not ready to stay with one guy.
Some still need to go out there & have thier fun, get it over with & have some guys for fun.
Some women dont really know what they want when they are young. Some are faithful when young.

They love a guy early in thier lives but change later on after age sets in & both parties start maturing a bit.

Usually quite simple why women do what they do.
Some even evil like wanting money but no love.
