I am a bit (read - lot) of a whinger about stuff i know but i find some stuff disagreeable in chat forum lingo. For example:-
Hun, whats that all about then? I understand that it's possibly a vague term of endearment or just a way of replying when it,s difficult to remember a tag possibly. Obviously it stands for honey so why make it hun why not hon . And if in forum come on how difficult is it to add 2 letters and change the 'u' to a 'o'?.
Another is the word 'oi' oh now come on would you shout that across a room or street or shop? Why then in a chatroom or forum the words i think you'll find, should be excuse me!
nite instead of night !!! for crying out loud
K instead of Ok.....durrrrr
I Hate the Accronym pmsl to. I mean that would really be quite embarassing - in a chatroom sometimes there are so many peopl 'pmsl-ing' that we are all drowning in cyber wee :shock:
Ok - Open for business. You got problems with little stupid irritating things like I have are you sad too with nothing to do but be sad? Add a gripe or two :lol2:
nite all (snigger)
<<<<<<<<<< whispers to Lost (oi, m8, chill bro, gaflffs)
you really are bored aintcha Laugh Out Loud :lol2:
:cheers:
I just take "hun" as a friendly punctuation in a sentence.
Where I live we say "mate" or "matey" to men and women, other people say "duck" - I just look on it like that. I think it's especially useful in written messages like this, where there's no tone of voice.
And it's obvious why people write "hun" - it's not because they don't know how to spell honey, it's because "hon" rhymes with "one", and sounds daft.
surely life's tooooooooooooo short for getting aggravated over such things!!!! isn't it????
its a "CHAT" room..... where people CHAT..... its not a litterary luncheon or book club where those with a love of the English Language congregate to glorify the use of language.......
FFS
Yes it's a chat room, yes people go there to chat but to me that means have a conversation and get to know people, not be over familiar with people you've never spoken to or get bombarded by people whispering things that they wouldn't dream of saying in person. I talk to people in chat as if I were talking to them anywhere else and I expect the same back.
The usual ones of 'I'm close to you, wonna fuck?' without so much as a hello - like geography is the only issue, or whispering then pretending they did it by accident, or whispering the same thing to everyone in the room.
And don't get me started on hun and babe.
