i detest any form of dumbing down, Gaia does it a lot..my stuff instead of inventory, the posting too soon message that tells you to 'wait a bit'
the announcements irk me too but maybe for a different reason, Rina neutral
maybe i just don't like NPC's much, announcements from Admin, telling you about things and being a little over-excitable is fine, but a pretend person doing the same annoys me a little rolleyes

You know, for the longest time, I hated emoticons. I mean, I still don't like to use them very often. But I slowly came to accept them. I mean, it's not like I had a choice if I wanted to communicate online. mad
Anyway, who am I to complain? I hear that language, especially the Enlgish language, evolves with each new generation... and often in the most irritating way to those who have been using it all along.
That's why Samuel Johnson published his dictionary, I think, not so much to formalize English Spelling as to SLOW IT DOWN!
Other languages pick up new words here and there, too, but English can get really crazy with it. Right now, my favorite web idioms are constructed from anything to do with "Suxxor." I think "Suxxorpwner" would be a great name for an enchanted sword, personally.

Aaarg.... I can't keep up with web-speak. There are threads I browse in the kiddies section, and I just can't follow them. I'm sure it's not English. Maybe they're just hitting the keyboard with their heads. Makes about as much sense.... but then I'm getting old, I sound like my Grandad! gonk

True. I remember spending most of my youth trying very hard NOT to be understood and then complaining that no one understood me.

Yep, it's tough when you don't even understand yourself.... then you get older and the problem just gets worse.

You mean it gets worse because you start to understand ourselves (and that's never a pleasant revelation) or because we understand ourselves less (because we are confusing and complex, yet shallow, messes?)

Harbone You mean it gets worse because you start to understand ourselves (and that's never a pleasant revelation) or because we understand ourselves less (because we are confusing and complex, yet shallow, messes?) I think what I've come to understand recently is that I've learned nothing, really... still making the same mistakes, over and over again... rolleyes *thinks* ... So, does that mean I have learned something, i.e. that I've learned nothing so far, so maybe I could still change that? rofl Catira Norr Maybe they're just hitting the keyboard with their heads. I recently saw a girl boasting that she could type with her elbows (which she then proceeded to demonstrate...), so you may not be far wrong... xp And to end on a high note... Harbone I think "Suxxorpwner" would be a great name for an enchanted sword, personally. I love it... and shall remember this - thank you! blaugh

I'm truly flattered. It's nice to be backed up by someone with a good heart and better taste.
I will now commence my daring attempt to type with my elbows.
*AHEM*

Nope. Don't have THAT talent.

Harbone I think "Suxxorpwner" would be a great name for an enchanted sword, personally. And Harbone wins the "Best Quote of the Year Award"! Seriously, I'm siggying that.

redface Thank you, Harbone, you're a gentleman... xd
The elbow-typing is probably a talent not worth having... xp
And I'm glad to see the growth of the Suxxorpwner fan club! blaugh (I intend to quote this in my profile, but it won't let me edit just now... grrr...)

HI folks! We just got back from CA, I had no internet while we were there. fancy hotels charge you to use there connection. You have to pay more to stay there, pay for the extra's (they put two bottles of water in the room that had notes on them that if you drank them it would be $4.50 plus service charge and tax per bottle added to your room bill, pay internet, and no cell phone reception), yet at less expensive hotels we can link up to their internet for free and generally have little extra's in the rooms. Red eye flights are horrible, I cannot fall asleep at the airport (I worry about the stuff with us, we brought the baby too, and the fact that it was too uncomfortable to fall asleep). I cannot sleep on the plane, too uncomfortable and noisy... So both on the way there and on the way home I did not get sleep... We went to my husbands 20th class reunion... we were both shocked at how many people remembered him. The same thing happened at my reunion last year... people who thought they were too good to talk to you in school came right up to me and acted like we were best friends in school. I got to see my nieces new baby, he is 1 month younger than Skye and his name is Elias. My husband told me that he thought he looked like an alian... now I see why. I'm sure he will grow out of it, he is not even two months old.  Skye's mother makes me mad, she plays the "I love my baby" game but means none of it. We left on Thursday, she came home long enought to see her for 20 minutes then. She got off work an hour and 40 minutes ago and has a 20 minute drive to get here and has not gotten here yet. I noticed she was online over an hour ago so I know she is either at her mother's house online or at a friend's house online... she left us a note on the counter welcoming us home and saying how she was going to rush right back to see Skye because she missed her so much. When she either calls or shows up I'm sure she will have this wonderful story about how she had to work late or something... as usual... and I will not tell her that I seen that she was online. Well, we had a very good trip, but I'm glad to be back.
