People who type "cumming" in texts and over IM, and other such things

[Deschamps]

I think it's more fun to use grammar and language in creative ways than to abuse it. Yesterday I was using double contractions in emails (I'd've, wouldn't've, ect) because I enjoy playing with words. Personally, I find it difficult to abuse the language. It takes me more time and effort to write 4eva or 2nite than it does to write them properly.

Call me a snob, but if you expect me to read a message, I expect it to be well written. I'm not going to complain about a few mistakes, but please, make it coherent.

Becuase kids are kids, adults are adults and teenagers are pretentious and think themselves bigger for picking on other teenagers. Grow up and get over it!

I do it every here and there as a joke, but don;t use it too often.

Dammit, I want to learn how to teleport.

*gazes longingly into the clouds*

Just think of the possibilities...

Breakfast in Paris, lunch on Pluto, and back home in time for tea!

Pft.
Screw that stuff.
I just wanna punch idiots and disappear before they can turn around.
That would be AMAZING.

Well, you could perform acts of violence upon idiots, and then reward yourself with a foreign meal.

Rinse and repeat, eh?

I'll always use proper spelling and grammar in any messages I send, by phone, internet, wherever. I hate the way most of my friends write in their messages. I don't expect them to be perfectionists, like I am, but if they're going to have a conversation with me I want them to have enough respect to put even just a little effort into the messages they send. I loathe long sentences without so much as a comma, let along a couple of full stops. And sure, mistakes are bound to happen, I don't mind the odd spelling error, but writing "cumming" as opposed to "coming" is just retarded.

They want to seem cool: "HEY LOOK AT ME I KNOW DIRTY WORDS"

I must confess I came into this thread assuming you were talking about something else entirely...

I blame the parents.

was that a pun?

 

[Zepren]

a friend of mine uses no punctuation at all on msn or in texts. Makes me want to strange him. His spelling is shocking too. I just hate when I cant understand a word of what their sayin u knw?

 

[Ham_authority95]

The whole texting language thing is getting out of hand.

I guess for many teenagers its "uncool" to spell like they know the alphabet.

God knows what their childrens' messages will look like......

I have a feeling it'll be morse code in text form LOL

It's funny, I see this thread 10 minutes after getting a request to join an alliance in a silly lil webgame I play to kill time

Copy and pasted!

"can i pliz join ur aliance???"

*insert Darth Vader NOO here*

Yeah, if the current trend continues, the words and letters will probably become nothing more than pretty little shapes rather than a language

As a youth, I can say this:

"We are gonna practice saturday, so you need to learn the medley for rhythm guitar which ranges from chords to arpeggio to notes to the solo at the end (distorted third guitar)"

That was my last text. I can't stand texting with the intention to make it smaller:

"We r guna prctis satday, so lern medly for rythm gitar w/ notes nd kords nd shit"

I'm more likely to cut myself after that second piece.

 

[mikecoulter]

One only uses the Queens English. Innit.

Um... Let me see... Ironic, or not, ironic or not...

This works nicely.
You have removed yourself from a hypothetical list of punchees.
:-D
Yay!

In the case of cumming, it's clearly to state that while you're texting them they're masturbating, and they think you would appreciate to know, that they're now at the climax of their small solo-erotic adventure. Just like if they had send you a pic of the extraordinarily huge dumb they just took, beeing the friendly sahring people they are they'll ofc delay their wiping in order to take the pic when teh bowl is still free of paper, so you can get the best possible oppertunity to gaze in awe, at the abnormally huge crap they just took.

Had they writen coming instead cumming, you might not realize this, and instead think they we're coming over to your place to visit you, while in fact they had no such plans. They we're just about to get a tissue to clean off the load which they just splattered all over their keyboard.

"cumming" to this thread was a bad idea for me

sorry couldnt resist ^.^

But, i do that all the time, mainly b/c i like misspelling stuff and making OCD people Angst and B/c i just have a habit of doing it

 

[Shapsters]

Look, I'd assumed that we'd established this a long time ago.

People are morons. You, me, him, her. Morons. Don't expect anything clever from the average human being.

So that's the reason they do this.

A excellent point, although... if they were referring to sex they could be doing it to be cheeky. But otherwise... morons.
