It's funny how you can blatantly tell which posts are started by people from the United States.
And I'm from the US - and it's still pathetic.

Alot of the stupid threads about drugs or any particular subject containing Zs instead of Ss, Urs instead of Yours, etc ... a lot of times they come from raver PLUR super happy ecstasy kids from the U.S. After a while you start to notice a trend. It just gives people from other countries more fodder on how clueless people supposedly are here.

but it's understandable, nowhere else on the world do they use "ur" and "z" instead of "s"... don't know about other countries, but for example in Russia they teach British English in schools, not american. |
Well that shit is all internet slang, but it seems that most people outside of the US hesitate to use it because they realize how stupid it looks and makes you look. I mean I'll say shit like "lolz0r!" in IRC and stuff but that's in joking, not the way I actually type regularly - if that makes any sense.

the thing is, internet is really taking over our minds and our culture.
people just type things like "lol" and "rofl" and the such automatically. no one really laughs out loud or rolls on the floor laughing. i'm guilty of doing it sometimes, but i still refrain to using old school "hahaha" to represent chuckling...
and the thing with "ur," "be4," "no1," "w/e"... it takes me MORE effort to reach the damn number than to type "one".. or typing the slash... that hurts... what, do people think they're saving time? oh, a whole 0.08 seconds! wow. just like those people at the red light who just can't keep their foot on the break pedal and just HAVE to move 2 inches forward... wow, you saved some time, maybe you can stop for a coffee and a donut now 
but this thing deserves a whole separate thread. weren't there a couple of thread on this already?
