this isn't really related too much to this thread (though it's seeming to become so), but i was kind of appalled you said that. And i don't mean to intervene in matters that weren't even addressed to me, but i think that all of alex's posts are more understandable than that jumbled prattle in the initial post. Sure, his posts may use what you call "online vocab" but i'd have to say that he uses it in a more understandable fashion. As in, he does not omit words to the point of incomprehensibility, nor does he make up words and list them hoping people will figure out what they mean (e.g. queeflings) without proper elaboration. He may spell words differently sometimes to shorten them like saying "d" instead of "the" but it's nowhere near the calibur of the babble in the first post. Look at the many people who responded to the thread not knowing what it says. That alone in comparison with the significantly less number of people who question what alex means in his posts shows how much more understandable he is. Stop lying.
on a side note, i think your sarcasm failed terribly, no offense intended really...i just can't see why people online would expect one to not type/talk like they do in real life. I mean, sure....spelling "teh" as opposed to "the" happens a lot and many errors like that. But, in all i don't htink this is expected by this entity you name as the online community. I think it is dealt with and people do not care so much insofar as they can decipher the meaning of the word. Being online is a terrible excuse for poor communication, though it is a rationalization.
Sorry to keep on going, but one last thing...why are you contradicting yourself? you advocate your world of "online" vocab and then when you see alex do it you tell him to correct his mistakes while not holding sexyness~ to the same standard. And, no you weren't pointing out a fault in alex's argument becuase he endorses the idea of this "online vocab" he just said he couldn't understand her/his version of it (the initial poster). No fault to point out, so i ask you again why you contradicted yourself? No double standards sir, please. Unless you can give me a good reason why it's good ot have double standards.
while you're at it, write me a post and tell me to correct the "ot" in the preceding sentece and the several other errors i probably made. It's such a stinging argument. daayumn, snap.
