and always remember most people do not want to know what your doing with your A. So that drops one off. IMHO

be back later. what you say when you leave the chat room, right? do people still say that on chat rooms? do chat rooms still exist, or is it all instant-messenger/ICQ now? god, i feel like Marge Simpson asking Lisa if kids still say 'cool'

[rant]
and the infamous 'i am not a lawyer.' guess i read too much slashdot, but there are always morons chipping in with stupid ideas that they preface with "IANAL but AFAIK.." then go on to say that intelectual property laws are opressing the little people, and all software should be free and we should drink snapple and have free love.. of course theyre not laywers, they may be just as iritating but at least their ideas would not be as uneducated if they were!
[/rant]

and i almost forgot, the slightly more mundane OMG! and OMFG! for oh my god, and the slightly more explicit Version thereof.

I prefer Structured sentences.

Mindless bable always made me leave chat rooms.

I used to drive people crazy by always spelling everything 100 %. ( Not correct spelling but complete sentences )

Maybe I am getting old or something.

But acrynoms and first letter plotters always make me feel like a heard of elephants are walking over my grave. ( I blame that on working in a corperate enviroment )

Grampa Simpson summed it all up. '....work of the devil.'

So wotd is how I feel

The December 2001 PC Gamer has a short column about "l33t 5p34k", but you don't see much of that used outside Online games.

Cap'n Q
My first mod! Hypermaze quadrant
The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the
human mind to correlate all of its contents. We live on a placid
island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was
not meant that we should go far. -- HP Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu"
