lol

Is there anyone under the age of 60 who uses the word "chickadee" anyway? My grandmother and great-aunts call little girls that.

How the hell do you have the energy to type something like that?

I remember people handwriting in toggle in 7th grade. I certainly couldn't read that. My dad does it once in a while (puts cap Rs and Is and Os in handwritten letters.)

But I have enough trouble hitting the shift key while typing normally. Oy.
I just can't read something that I feel I need a decorder to read or has some subliminal message behind it.




This thread will self destruct in 10 seconds.

Oh God, my 13-year-old cousin is the WORST at togglecase. She ends almost every word with a z, too. I just feel like telling her to grow up because she looks so stupid.

[kandy36]

its a shame how one person has so much time on their hands as to make a thread about togglecase. i find it very interesting. this honestly is all bc of one persons screenname, lets be honest. i think someone has some bitterness and needs to get over it.

look if someone chooses to something its their problem, not yours.

OHHHHHHH.

Well, to the average 11 year old, yes, yes I am.

This is chit chat. People can talk about whatever they want, start threads about whatever they want, as long as it doesn't violate the TOS.

It came up in another thread, and the discussion was moved here b/c it really didn't have anything to do with that thread. As is proper to do.

Who are you to bitch at everyone else like this? Isn't it a bit hypocritical to criticize people for doing something that you're doing yourself?

Curious as to who is bitter and why. OTW, to my knowledge, certainly has no reason to be bitter over her lack of love for togglecase

I know they have it as a "case" in Microsoft word. I was wondering, why in the hell do they have it? Never saw actual toggle case until I got on here

Ok, just a quick lesson for everybody.

tHiS iS tOgGLecAse = this togglecase

t|-|15 i$ l3e+ $peA|< = this is leet speak


Please learn and know the difference - they are not the same thing. Granted, many people might find both irritating to read!

I'm not going to give a history lecture about the development of the internet and hacking. I'll spare you. I'll just say that leet speak is more "culture bound" to the internet than togglecase. As many have pointed out, typing togglecase reminds everyone of an immature 13 year old. If you lump leet speak into that same perception, then you don't know what being leet (l33t) is about. To some folks, it's almost like having a whole other culture and language.

I don't type in toggle or leet myself - I didn't then and I don't now. I have a leet signature line because I'm taking the piss out of one of my old co-workers. Two years after I last saw him, I ran into him at Del Taco, of all places, and we had a great chat. He and I always got along because we were both old school computer kids. (I'm soooooo old school that I was around when l33t was actually 31337!!!!! ) Anyway, he e-mailed me the next day typing in l33t. heh. So, I just wrote my signature to be amusing.

Anyway, other than my colleague's recent e-mails, I can't remember the last time some typed in toggle or leet! Everyone is acting as if this still happens all the time. Can someone tell me if this is more a an occurance in IMs? I don't do the IM thing, so I wouldn't know.

One last thing, all of you who picked up the fad on writing "the" as "teh" (as in "teh pills! They work!")...... "teh" is technically l33t speak. Good thing i 4|\/| teh Ch1x012 and I had that in my sig line before it became the lastest GC fad.

asdf!!
