How do I Know I'm a Lamer based on chat? (meaning you the reader)
You type:
-LOL - The most heinous and gay word on the internet. LOL = Hey everyone I'm gay!
-u instead of you
-r instead of are
-u're instead of you're
-LMAO, ROFL
-IN ALL CAPS
-Typing in AlTeRnaTinG CaPs
-Purposely mispelling words like d00d, kewl, etc.
-Using a bunch of weird characters that don't belong like *#$$*@*@@.
Lesser Offenses
-ppl - Why don't you ppl learn to type people
-meh - Simpson nerds are the worst
-plz - NO! That is not ok. But prez is ok because it's racist/funny. =]
-You have to ask or ask if you're a lamer
What about these others?
Doh - Doh is ok. Meh is not. Doh is funny, Meh is stupid/gay.
AFK - Fine
BTW - Kinda ok I suppose
STFU - It's questionable but still ok. It's actually a way to cover saying the actual words so it makes it
kinda ok.
fu - fine! It's better than saying it using the real words.
Tho - instead of though. I think it's kinda ok for chat.
OMG - It's blasphemous so I say avoid it as it's offensive to true believers in god
WTF - It's pretty lame but somewhat acceptible depending on the situation. Try to avoid it overall.
Lame - Some people have a problem with the word "lame". Lame is a timeless classic. Get used to it because
nothing else could be used but "gay" =]
gay - it's a Californian thing, and elsewhere. Gay means stupid.
Who decides these rules?
The cool people do. If you have to question them, obviously you're not one of them.
What do I use for a laugh then?
You use hahah, hehe, or hah or heh. I think hehe is more feminine than haha. You use these instead
of LMAO, LOL, ROFL.
What about smiley faces
Some people think they are lame but unfortunately they are the only way to show emotion via chat. So if I want to say
something sarcastically, I usually put a =] or :) after it. It's less gay than going *crying, (sarcastic) or something
similar. I like to abuse smilies because they piss some people off.
Does it really matter?
Yes...Yes it does.
What can I do to change the world?
Make sure your friends stop being lame by typing this crap. Call them lame or other names until they stop. Do things that
are very annoying to them that it will force them to stop.
Conclusion
I just instantly ignore/write people off who type like this because I know they are not cool enough (aka Lame) to talk to
and they couldn't possible tell me anything of value. With the large number of people on the internet you have to find
a way to filter them and one of the best ways is by how they type to you.
