Just figured you might want to learn computer language!

Lmao did you make half these up right now? Anyways I hate to say but not sure it belongs in the newcomers forum, just because there new to AG doesn't mean there new to computers..or in this case computer language. Well anyways good work i guess.

thanks!  o and all of these hav been around lol!

wow you sure know a lot...

I really don't advocate a thread that teaches others how to demean the english language. Really... learn to type. You can spell when you go to school, why not give us the same decency? Haha.

I hate it when people abbreviate. You sound SO much more itelligent when you type things out.

We didn't go through thousands of years of civilization to go back to using primitive pictograms.

Really... learn to type

Well I can't type, yet see above.

We have an unofficial AG chat area check it in CAlries prifile

No Juan, if you actually understood the point of the thread -- it's to teach garbage shortcuts to the English language. I'm with DM and anyone else who doesn't like l33t speak. Is it really that hard to type 's' instead of 'z' or 'e' instead of '3' or 'about' instead 'abt'?

The answer is no. Personally, I think this thread should be sunk, never to see the light of day.
