The f9er side of language.

The explorer in passing cerebration often finds that people do things which in no way benefits them or anyone else. The explorer feels pity and on some rather rare occasions, intense vexation at such, who are unfortunately, people. Feeling a deep sense of social service, the explorer explains one of the few things you should never do.

Ultimate peeve here being use of SMS linguo and/or logically absurd statements to make a point or have conversations. For all the people who do that, people, there's a reason it's called SMS linguo. Text messages have limited characters and in such cases, economics call for improvisation and that is where the abbreviations come into the picture.
But I crap you not, it is with utter disbelief that I read sentences like "i m f9", "4m whr?" , "ausum", and the one that absolutely takes the cake, "cum on yahoo/skype/gtalk/whatever chat-application turns you on.".
I shall need complete explanations with practicals if possible as to how any human being can achieve this unique feat. If YOU can do this, be sure respected mister, that the explorer shall be your disciple for as long as it takes to learn to perform a virtual cumshot.

Desist from using "da" in place of the, "f9" in place of fine and the likes. F-9, dear Bozo, is an aircraft carrier and does not even SOUND like fine. It sounds like fanine which rhymes with famine and does not make sense. Also, as a warning or a polite message to all my friends on any social networking sites, if your name is something like "ABC d@ imp@ti3nt 0n3", understand dear ABC, that I shall unfriend you with as little hesitation as possible.(Even if you're a part of my mafia on facebook.)

And finally, dear above 18's who use such language, if you ever wish to be taken seriously in life, improve your language and your ability to spew out intelligible stuff. No one takes a guy who doesn't know how to spell "for, come or the" seriously.

For lessons in english, go back to high school, or learn to use ALL the alphabets of the keyboard. Typing tutor's a good bet. The explorer is so fucking sure that reactions to this post will include comments which will employ the very language he so passionately hates.

LOL.. devru!!

When I was new to the entire emailing thingy..Harianna told me never to use the 'Hi hw r u' kind of sentences. And yes, it did help/does still help that my english is intact today.I owe him one.

Sadly sms-es from me carry words in their entirety and sometimes I have to use 2 sms-es to convey whatever. Short was never my style :)

But that said, a very correctly put article :D The disciple of the explorer agrees. And 100% at that.

yes, yes, i have always found those kind of sentences pretty amusing.
and THAT is the reason i get irritating phone bills with 1000 sms charged or the likes (which my mum doesnt understand).
But hey, dear sis, now you're married. You have left our dominion for another one. Rest assured, you shall always have diplomatic priveleges. Congratulations.
Wish you all the awesomeness and happiness.
:-)
May the force be with you.
