Loose = Not Tight

[catnapper]

Digging up this thread because I've seen something a lot lately: "Prolly". What is that? I'm assuming its supposed to be "probably" but spelled wrong? Or is it spelled cute, like I say "the bestest meowmie in the world" I know bestest isn't a real word, but its cute.

Soooo... is probably another murdered word where they spell it like they say it (though I actually DO say probably)

I've seen that one too. I think a lot of these "shortcuts" are coming from text messaging - like the lack of apostrophes in contractions and possessives. I can understand using the shortcuts when you're text messaging (although I don't use them when texting and think it's just plain lazy), but when writing to a message board for everyone on the Internet to see, spelling the complete words out correctly is just good manners IMHO.
