Classy; I love those.

Txtspk on the net is just lazy, and I hate it. In SMS messages it makes sense, because you only have a limited number of characters per message, and the more you send, the more it costs you. But when you're allowed to say as much as you like for nothing, it just smacks of laziness and ill-education to abbreviate everything into incomprehensibilty.

I have no idea what IMAO is... :-?

I hate text speak. It's like, this is the internet, not a cellphone. It's like, write like a person, not a retard. It has to take ages to type like that, too.

It's, like, totally awesome. :P
I dunno about taking ages to type, but it sure as shootin' takes longer to read, as the original post proves - it's like someone using a ton of stupidly obscure words, when you have to hunt for a dictionary to translate...

I love that one.. Makes me laugh every time I see it.
Not a sheeple.
Think for yourself, don't let the magic TV box and social media do the thinking for you.
Question EVERYTHING!!
Just because you have a youtube review channel doesn't make you special.
No, I am not friendly online or in real life.
I look forward to attending a Botcon only to settle matters with idiots in person.
