  1. What I hate on the internet. I'm fairly sure most people will agree with me.

  1.     1) ppl wat typ lik dis.



  1. Exactly why would anyone do that? It's such a horrible bastardisation of a language its untrue. It doesn't abbreviate or simplify complication as the end recipient's brain is tied up doing complex decryption. Unless of course, both people speak it natively. Which is a very worrying issue. Just type normally, the same way you would write an essay. Its an apparent fact that the brain analyses a word, its length and letters but not actual order. Which means if you typo, its ok, people won't have such a bad time understanding. Shitting on a language however, is not acceptable.

   

    2) haha you suk haha j/k 

 

The main complaint here is the trailing "j/k". It really really gets to me. It's meant to indicate that the comment before it was a joke ("j/k" meaning joke), thus absolving any hurt or offense the recipient may feel. Well, that's a crock of shit, but lets move on to the more fundamental issue. Humour explained is humour lost. If you have to explain it, its not funny any more. Further more, if you have to explain it, it never was funny. If you have to indicate what is and what is not a joke, it means it isn't, thus making its very use even more quizzical.

Now please stop failing. <3
