internet lingo problems...

[c h i -LOV3]

There are a few words that are making me confused.


What does 'plox' mean?


I'll probably keep asking what things mean so stay tuned... even though I'm internet savy (or at least I like to think so...) some bad grammer just makes me go, 'wtf?'

plox is a stupid way to say please.

Ah see, I've not been exposed to that particular usage. Maybe I should go wander the CB and edumicate myself.  

[The Dinosaur Next Door]

Can't it just be 'please?'

-O=O-

Tis the interwebs (when was everyone ever into spelling thing correctly or using proper grammar on the internet?)

I am very much into correct spelling and grammar, Cow.

Not a Nazi (I've never understood that term) but I dislike it when people disregard it entirely. I hate it even more when they think that they are being "creative" or "cool" because of it.  

[Liltweet_gal]

well, people on the internet type so much that they start getting annoyed at spelling everything out. then they come up with catchy phrases that can sometimes make no sense to shorten things...


I don't get why plox means please....I'm fine with just please, but a lot of people also use plz confused  

[sahihen]

Guess they want a cool way to say it that doesn't sound like they're saying please and thank-you?

I have to agree; there are very few "net-isms" that I will use (lol and afk, for example... not that anyone knows what afk *means* anymore, but I digress). And "leet", while I can understand it, just makes my head hurt. (Largely 'cause the editor in my brain wants to start correcting it all...) xp

y tlk n cmplt sntncs wn its ezr 2 typ lk ths??????

(I swear, I get some text messages, or online messages, from my FIlipino family that's all like that. It drives me nuts. I know it takes me longer to write that out than write in complete words and sentences.)

Congratulations, Linny; you just made my eye twitch... stressed xd

i cn undrstnd th fnctn, bt isn it lst whn its nt rdble nemre?

(I can understand the function -- they used it when text messages were still expensive and unlimited plans didn't exist yet -- but I feel the function is lost when one can't even read things anymore)
