Ok PPL use abbreviations to talk all the time, you have never bothered to talk to me before now, so let's not talk.

Yes, I'm a cat. Yes, I work as a flunky for someone else, although I prefer the term "henchman" or "henchcat". But I am not a pussycat, nor is he a Know-It-All.


hehe, ok, I did not mean to disrepect the mighty Kerrans. I was thinking more along the line of Josie and the Pussycats

Unfortunately for you, the use of abbreviations is mostly unacceptable here, just like bad grammar. Deal with it.

Has anyone ever noticed that whenever the boards slow down someone posts something exactly like this thread?

Actually what I see is hypocrisy in full swing, plenty of PEOPLE do it, and you have never busted them, and as for bad grammar we won't even go there, so actually why don't you find someone else to nitpick, don't got time for ya.

RULES OF ABBREVIATION

1. It is okay to use an abbreviation when describing/referring to an official term. Ex: Dungeon Seige (DS), Counter Strike (CS), Tribes 2 (T2), and so forth.

2. It is not okay to use an abbreviation when describing/referring to a common, everyday word. Ex: People (ppl), You (u), Please (plz)

You seem pretty smart, Emil. Don't try to convice me you're an idiot.

Ah the mighty Mr. Parclean, I'm not going to fight with you about this issue, I think we have the potential for MUCH better arguments than abbreviations or grammar. But I will say this, you missed #3.

3) Jokes or end of posts:

i.e. (just as an example) Bajah ok, thnx, la~

I do see other people using abbreviations, but why would I waste the opportunity to match wits with you over this? Seems silly to me, and believe me friend I'm NOT an idiot. Anyone who wants to try and prove me wrong....well as they say, be my guest.

I actually never call people on it, I merely agree with people who do.

Well, it was a long shot, but I did good.

This post is two pages long...I've done a good job. My work here is done. Hijack this post if you want, but I was able to get TWO pages on a post, and that's all that mattered.

And I know, the boards are sorta going fallow for a while like a field of alfalfa so that they once again can be really good.

And Toktuk, kicking me in the goodie bag was just rude. Just plain rude...

You smell that? Do you smell that? ...Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed for twelve hours. When it was all over I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory.

I've always thought it would have been funny if someone changed their display name on the board to Paul544 and trolled Paul554 by being helpful to people in threads and stuff.
