technically it should be u're xD

Reminds me of when I'm typing and scatter brained. I'll be typing, and out of habit I will type a word that I'll hear on the TV or see at the corner of my eye.

I try not to do that much net speak, besides stuff like "lol", but I don't like typing stuff like "ur" or "wuz"

Unless you're lazy and use "ur" for everything. xD

When I look at my old chat logs I cringe. :/

but some of the netspeak describes a certain expression so much better!

Like.. WUT! LOL you can't get the same effect as WHAT!

there's this.. extra crazy WTF touch to it HAHAHA

Yep... Dx

My typos are normally actual words, just the wrong word... I don't mind except when the word actually works in the sentence and changes the meaning. x_X

I still can't believe I made that one horrible typo that one time.

Me: Hey! I need that thong
Me: *horrified* thing*******

:o

xDD

*hugs Liz*

or the infamous "be back in a sex"

When playing a game with my brother, I always call him Sex instead of Sec. o:

I type Cockboard instead of corkboard...

And didn't even notice it...

lol @ Hessah

Don't think I ever made that kind of typo except the sec/sex one.

Same here. D:
A few years ago, I had a teacher who talked to the class about net speak/texting and actually using it while writing an essay... I was thinking: would anyone actually do that? Maybe for taking notes in class or something, I would understand... but an essay?

ditto

LOOOLLL wut. Fail!

Why bother teaching cursive, really...

It's only useful for signatures. Standard print is faster, and much more legible.

;O
its been a long time since i've used cursive
at my old private school we would always have to write assignments in cursive, except spelling tests because they didn't want us to forgot how to write it standard

Right brain, left brain.

Motor skill development.

Also, develops recognition skills of other people's handwriting.

I don't even see people use it for signatures...

It's just a line scribble!

They take a class to write like that. And Yosei is right they do it to prevent people from being able to copy and/or read them. I believe people who work for pharmacies have to be trained to read them as well.

I used to do this a lot until I realized: "Wait I think I've been typing this wrong.." without even noticing...been trying hard to use it correctly now a days but the internet has made it a bad habit...


I remember when they taught it in second grade or so for me they said it's what you will use the rest of your life. So we learned and learned and practiced and practiced, never used it after fourth grade. Let alone high school or anything else.

We had to learn cursive to get a pen license... HAHA

What's a pen license? o.o

a permission to use a pen instead of pencil...

LOL wUt?!?!?

Are you joking!?

Well i think we were in year 3? gotta write properly to be allowed to use a pen in class.. hahaha

Memories...

i've always used cursive o_o and i think i always will. like i said, it's the first way i learned how to write and it's faster for me than print. i can also do it so that only i can figure out what it's supposed to say really easily.

My handwriting is fugly either way. xD

I remember back in grade 1 or something, I got an award for neat handwriting. LOL

is it an aussie school thing?

Just so i can get this right.. cursive = running writing right?

possibly, i think i've also seen it called linked writing.

oh yea, i forgot, i was learning calligraphy in kindergarten or primary, one of those. kinda wish i had kept with it. not many people do it from what i see.

Didnt read any posts other than the first xD
/toolazy

But I dont write cursive (Or 'joined up' as it's called over here x_x) I print my words, and I spell wrong alot on the computer. But not to much real life.

I love it because EVERY teacher has asked me to try cursive but then gives up after a week or so. (And yeah, my handwriting sucks. But I can make it smart :3 tho it takes longer)

I beg to differ. All my writing is in cursive. I am VERY slow at writing in print.

I always use cursive when I'm close to falling asleep in class.

xD

O m g. Was that the ms hong kong thing? I received a forward from dad's friends (=.=) about it. I usually delete all the forwards but I randomly decided to click that one to read. Hahaha.

LMAOMALMLOAMLAMOAMAOO I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND YOU!!!!

<-- does that too.

When I write neatly on purpose, I print.

When I write lecture notes, I print + cursive.

When I'm about to sleep, all cursive (or drawing squiggly lines)

Yeah! have you got a copy?!? still got it? I wanna see it xD

It was read out when i heard it so i didnt get to see the words she used xD

Kk, this was what the thing was about:

"港姐投訴信，勁考你中英文能力呀！今屆參選港姐有人投訴無線評判不禮貌對待，寫信去傳媒投訴不公平，如果 你英文及廣東話都掂，請翻譯，小弟將不吝加分，投訴信原文："

I can't read all of it, but I think one of the participants for Ms Hong Kong sent in a complaint about the judges (?) being impolite, unfair, or something to that extent.

Complaint:

Some translations:

我是 = I am
博士 = umm.. some university degree I think?

For those who don't know chinese, you probably would barely understand it at all. A lot of the words are actually chinese but they are the pronunciations of the chinese words, haha.


Makes me wonder why she didn't stick to writing in Chinese, if she really wanted to complain and this wasn't a joke.

Alright I decided to do a translation.

广东话 D:

The only thing I could translate was...

Wah d.

LMAO

博士 = Masters

But that's such a laugh LOL

I didnt know people could type like that xD

EDIT:

Don't choose mei suen law
Fine if you don't choose me

F7 = Form 7, so like Year 12?

Inch = Mean.

We don't go and let them inch ga law
We didn't enter to have them talk us down / be mean to us

博士=doctorate
