I fucking swear people are doing this on MN deliberately just to piss me off now

[ApocalypseCheeseToastie]

The word is LITTLE, you inbred fucker, yes YOU, sat at your pc right now.

Little, means small, and is spelt L.I.T.T.L.E, not fucking lil, LIL is not a word and means fuck all. Here is a definition of the word little for those who are unaware www.google.com/dictionary?langpair=en|en&q=little&hl=en&aq=f

Bloody people slaughtering the English language, I know the type, you say 'hun' repeatedly and I would put money on you lot not punctuating your fucking text messages nor do you use actual words.

What is the bloody point in it all ? can somebody please enlighten me ?

"About a 5 minute walk from me. And they definitely were NOT smoking apple shite . Got the munchies just walking past. I tell you Bup, when we have our imaginary get together at mine, you'll struggle to get your flight back."

Where the fuck do you live? Cuba?

Nice to see that that idiot Chaos stole all of the revellers from my gin lounge. That's fine. I've got Richard Armitage as Guy Gisborne on my chaise, giving me a very seductive foot massage.

Ha!

My very intelligent and articulate daughter insists on using text speak to text and on facebook. It drives me up the wall, over the ceiling and back down the other side. AIBU to throw her out? Ok she's only 13 but how much can flesh and blood stand?

the more you make a fuss about LOL and lil and such, the more people will do it to wind you up

lol

My current bugbear, while we are on the subject, is that last week my DS6 came home from school asking if he can have his hair 'just like Bradley's' . Bradley, who once had a perfectly lovely mid brown mop now has a bleach-blonde mullet.

This week DS asked why Bradley has 'diamonds' in his ears.

I had a nasty experience with a mouthful of coffee when I saw on dh's 46-year-old crusty bachelor's FB page: "Hugz Hun likey your pix" He came across as Benny Hill rather than Don Juan.

There is an excellent bit in Eats Shoots & Leaves where Lynn Truss describes writing to a teenage American pen friend in poncetastic English with the inclusion of a semi-colon as the final act of superior raspberry-blowing.

I have a cousin who is the dictionary definition of a hun. Luckily, we are distant cousins and do not see each other. She is however on my Facebook. The amount of times my cursor has hovered over "delete friend" after having to read another status declaring how much she luvs mil lil man and mah gorgjuss n sexi man. BARF.

Is it slam a Chaos Week?

Bup nope, Spain..

Chaos nope, not in this corner. I WANT to be on your island.

When are we going to Drucker's for a Jap Fancy, Chaos? You barstard. [wunk]

Oh, I want to visit! I know how to use a semi colon appropriately; it's one of my biggest irritations in life when people do otherwise. :o

Seriously though, I'm always worried that people will think I'm a terrible speller or have awful grammar without realizing that I'm American and the way I'm saying and spelling things is the "proper" way here.

Prefer S&M myself!

Much more youthful vibe.

S&M?

Did you mean M&S, but your sex-addled brain typed it out and S&M? You filthy hoo-er.

Oooh I have victims!

Welcome to my abode, you forget your woes, enhance your contentment, and never want to leave.

But first you must ace a jorrendous little test.

Stephen Fry, the master of the English language, tells us all to embrace textspeak and misspellings because it's all part of our ever-changing language. If Shakespeare came back he'd be mortified at the way we spell things now, we dropped the 'e' from most words because of laziness and words like 'thee' because 'you', 'thine' is now 'yours' and 'wherefore art thou Romeo' would be 'where are yer?'

Our language is not even our own, it's a smattering of French, Latin, German etc. New words are being created every day and some might say that pedants are simply backward looking prudes. Not I, I might hasten to add! My own spelling and grammar is impeccable. Innit?

I thought everyone called it S&M for the gentle comedy?

No?

Just me then.

Little things, eh, Chaos? Also LOL (yeah LOL I said it) at you only admitting entry to decent spellers THEN typing "jorrensous". Oh, the ironing...

I love you, Apocalypse. Lots.

YES Fimbo! "Chest of draws" bugs the [i]shit[/i] out of me as well.

As does "quiet" instead of "quite".

And "his" instead of "he's".

Aaaaaaaaaaaargh.

Aw crap, using BBCode there...

I don't have to embrace anything that I don't want to.

:o

WHAT THREAD?

There are people on my FB who use ickle all the time. I really should block them
