"Lolspeak" drives me nuts

[Suki Wingy]

I too find it funny, it's my kind of humour. I will get quite annoyed when I see improper grammar when it is a mistake, but I like making fun of those kind of mistakes with lolspeak. I also like the idea that there are many different types of language and my friends and I like to see how far we can take it and still understand each other, it's pretty funny sometimes.

Oh, and I do incorporate that type of language as well as Buffy and Firefly quotes into my daily speech, although certainly not in a paper or speaking to the dean or anything.

I do not mind it at all when it's ON the LOLcats photos, because well, that's what makes lolcats lolcats

But when you're a normal human being trying to have a conversation with another human being via typing, I find it to be ridiculous to try to decipher. When I was younger maybe I could spend more time trying to figure it out, but with me being back in school I can't afford to fry many more brain cells -- I need them all!

Aside from a few exceptions (when it's a "pet" talking versus their "human") I don't mind it here and there.

And I am not referring to JUST "LOL speak", I'm referring to 1nt3rn37 5p34k also. On myspace, facebook, etc... it literally give me a HEADACHE trying to figure it out, and if those people are my friends, I delete them because it just... drives me nuts.

And I'm a grammar/spelling freak too, for the most part. LOL
