You should find your own sthick.

See? It's easy!

Welcome to the afterlife.

I play on Luclin, too. As does Ja`Deth and some others.

Nobody's going to flame you, but you'll most likely be ignored. And nobody wants that.

Thats cool, u guys come up wit some funny replies. I noticed everyone here is really concious about spelling and grammar... I'm not so i wont be sorry u guys can flame if u want to but its just the internet

You may want to consider taking a few more keystrokes and spelling out words if you want to be accepted here.

I mean, those little word shortcuts just drive me up the wall.

Every time I see "how r u?" or "o i c" it makes me want to torch AOL for spawning those evil cretin...

You dont use AOL, do you Slasher? Please say no.

I mean, you're more than welcome to, but it seems to me that if you know you're going to be ignored and outcasted and you're not going to make any attempt to try and change that, it's a little silly to stay.

Just some thoughts

Welcome Slasher. Ignore the people who have nothing to better to do than insult your computer skills.

woudl u wanna read tihs/?

or

Would you want to read this?

It's a little easier on the eyes, a little easier to read, and gets the point across better.

We don't have to read the information given. And if we have to decrypt it, we won't want to read it.

It doesn't take too much to be accepted, and this is one of our few requirements that doesn't take all that much longer to do.

Just a little extra thought.

Sorry if I come off as a little harsh, but it's best to say something now, rather than later.

Not all of us are going to outcast someone because they don't type the way we do.the same language we do.

That's much better.

Welcome anyway. I can tolerate your laziness, however it doesn't help you to earn my respect.

On another note, greetings Slasher Feel free to browse around and post as you wish.

It's for your benefit. People tend to ignore those that type difficult and/or painful to read posts.

Although, it can be fun to try and decode Rera's posts at times.

Made me snicker a bit.

Hi there

EC is a neat community.

Welcome.

People who insult you because you don't like to type everything out usually aren't even worth listining to. I've just typed enough so that I can type faster normally than in lazytype

OMGz, nE1 gotz phat lewtz for me Plz? Kthx!

Well, that can make people want to come to your house, and beat you mercilessly.

The majority of our little society here speaks English as a first language, and we prefer that if you are going to type in english, that you try and stay close to the proper spellings.

Also, there is no reason to rush things, and take shortcuts, its not like somebody is going to interrupt you.

Slasher painfully thought these words up:
Let me tell you guys (i woulda said lemme and u but i dont wanna be ignored :P), when i think of chatting on the internet, it seems like it would be much more logical to type faster and get the short word across. When i'm typing essays for school or maybe im typing up a guide i'll use proper grammar and punctuation, but this seems to be much more of a message board. For example, if you were talkin to your friend IRL would you say "Hey, wanna go see a movie later?" or "Hey, do you want to go see a movie later?". It just doesnt sound natural and i am going for natural here. Also, so everyone knows, im not stupid and i do have perfectly fine english skills if you want to see one of my unedited drafts i can scan it and email it to u, no cost! In closing, please dont ignore me im not dumb i just dont feel like bein a robot for now

---

Things like "wanna" are just fine.

However, using abbreviations such as "plz" "u" and "thx" online come across as the equivilent to talking like a deranged monkey in real life...

Additionally, you might want to look at better spacing between points. It's not really about typing quickly, it's about getting your point across, and it is much easier to do that when your post is intelligible and easy to read.

Would all of you bitching about grammar want to be jumped on every time you make a mistake?

So he types different. So what. Don't have to get your panties in a wad because someone is different.

And this is a corrective maneuver. Not a lynching.

Not that I think Mog *should* be given a hard time. I don't think anyone should.

But if we're going to be bitchy about it, then I think we shouldn't be selective bitchy. Or just do it to those we take a dislike to.

That's an awfully rude reception for a newbie.

To conclude, Welcome, Slasher, to the domain of EverCrest. Please enjoy your stay.
