Really really annoys

Post by lovemunkey187 »

Fucking text talk.

What's so difficult about pressing 2 more buttons to spell "are or you" instead of "R or U". Especially when your using a keyboard to send e-mails, Yer Tossers

Fucking spell properly yer bastards

And before anybody picks me up for using yer instead of your I'm spelling it phonetically, as this is how my accent makes it sound.

It's bad enough people can't say "asked" and say "axed", or maybe this is just a phenomenon from Trisha and Jerry Springer but it really does grate my nerves.

I first encountered this in Bermuda in 1989, it was a 'black thing' that has squirmed its way into chav dialogue. When a black person says it, its bad enough, but when a chav or similar dosser says it, its inexcusable.

This is much older than you think - by over a thousand years.

I worked with a Jamaican who would insist on pronouncing asterisk as axterisk and character as caractor.
