stupid msn messages.
I was chatting with my friends on msn and now everyone seems to be adding a "twist" to the language. I was looking at the words that they are typing and I have to read it once, twice and even thrice because it was bloody hard to read.
No joke. Because you have to process every single letter in your mind and piece them all together to get a word, which after using so much brain juice happens to be 'Keekeex'. That's not cool.

It looks like some alien language to me after a whole day staring at the com doing some excel stuff since I am working while waiting for my enlistment letter. Where the hell is my enlistment letter? I hope they forget and my particulars are not in their database. Now I'm not a stickler for perfect English. I don't really speak proper English. But I do get irritated when I see horrendous mistakes.
I can't stand it when people misuse symbols excessively like the curved line or tilde (~). In the Internet chatting world that stupid thing is used to represent sarcasm or approximation. I don't know why people use it as a dash or a line or to end a sentence.Why do people have to attach a 'x' or 'z' to the end of some words? What's the pointzzz? Juz because I have this at the endzzz doesnt mean I'm coolx.
Like the word "sianzzz" mentioned by mr brown.
Before MSN, there were IRC & ICQ. Still remember "oh-oh" sound when someone msg or comes online to ICQ? There was no BiG-sMaLL s+cKyC4pS letter thing and replacing some alphabets with numbers. Such as.
1 or = I
2 = Z
3 = E
4 = A
5 = S
6 = G
7 = T/L
8 = B
9 = g/R
0 = O
177 = M
Shall post the message conversation next time. Time for me to sleep.
