What you are using is not shorthand. This is shorthand.

It doesn't matter how smart you are, when you use poor grammar and don't bother to capitalize things or spell correctly, you look stupid.

YES I AM VERY SERIOUS ITS STUPID FOR PEOPLE TO ACT THIS WAY.... AND NIGGERISH DOESNT ONLY MEAN BLACK IT ALSO MEANS IGNORANT AND SUBORDINATE..... DONT TAKE IT RACIALLY.... IM ANYTHING BUT RACIST....

WELL BABE ITS CONSIDERED SHORTHAND IN MY PART OF TOWN SO THATS WHAT WE CALL IT.... WHY DO U EVEN GO THROUGH THE TROUBLE TRYING TO PROVE ME WRONG U REALLY DON HAVE A LIFE DO U

The purpose of this post is?

Yes, I do. And you're right, you don't "have" to do anything.

Unless you want to look like an idiot.

Look nOOb! You come to our forums and you talk assbackwards expect to get pwnd! We are L33T here! Just W8 till you have a little bit more knowledge. Your ? was answered. Take your info and enjoy it! It was free!

...nOOb!

EXACTLY SO I WILL TYPE THE WAY I WANT.... AND TYPING IN A FORMIDABLE FASHION DOES NOT PROVE THAT SOMEONE IS SMARTER THAN ANOTHER..... A HOBO CAN TYPE..... WHAT REALLY MATTERS IS HOW ONE CAN EXPLAIN OR EXPRESS THEMSELVES THROUGH WORDS... AND APPARENTLY THATS A LITTLE HARD FOR U

LMMFAO! 45? And still need to grow up!? Thanks for the new term "titty play" though. Its just the intarwebs!

Before I say something really crazy...I think you need to calm down because regardless of what meaning you try to associate with that term, it is inappropriate and very uncalled for.

If you have been a member of greekchat for a while you would understand that "joking" is the nature of the site and you should not take it so personal to the point where you are acting more ignorant than the people you are calling "ignorant." It is NOT that serious, and from the posts I have read by you, you seem to be more harsh than anything in this thread.

If you are speaking to specific people then you need to PM them because from what you are posting, you are opening the door for more than people "arguing" with you...

And that's real talk...

LOL NOOB!!! PWND? OK.... UH WERENT THEY JUST BOTHERING ME ABOUT THAT.... UR GAY

THANKS VELOCITY VERY MATURE OF U .....

You know that if you type correctly your words will explain themselves and be expressed a whole lot better than if you use leet-speak and IM-speak?

No.
