Poll: Internet language... do you keep up with it?

[Mr Frogurt]

All in the title really...woo first thread I've made with a poll!

To be honest, I really can't keep up with it all and always tend to look like some fool on forum somewhere.
My old manishness aside where do you fit into all teh lolz?

 

[walls of cetepedes]

I try to understand it, but don't use it.

Also, does /B/ mean 4chan?

EDIT:I know what it is now, as much as I like being quoted, 4 people have now answered. Thank you.

 

[Cpt_Oblivious]

I don't much care for it, but I end up understanding it all.

 

[Mr Frogurt]

I don't really like it, if I'm writing something to the masses on the internet I like it to be readable TBH

 

[Aac18]

Most of the so called internet language gets on my nerves (especially anything from 4chan). If I end up in a discussion with someone who can't speak at least some degree of normal English I tend to disregard what their saying rather than try to decipher it (although things like lol, wtf, etc are fine).

 

[Andalusa]

I don't really care about it, and I tend to not use it, but when most of my friends do I end up picking it up anyway.

 

[Legion]

It's usually not hard to pick up. I never use it, the same way I never use "text talk" (unless I want to save credit by putting as much into a single text as possible).

 

[BartS4177]

nope I try to sound intelligent even on the internet.

 

[RazielDethAngel]

I write normally. I like grammar but not to the point of douchebaggery.

 

[Assassin Xaero]

Sometimes... don't really care for it... half the time if I see something used too many times, like "ftw" I have to go to urbandictionary.com and see what it means... Well, ftw never really made sense until I looked it up... thought it meant "fuck the world" because the first time I ever saw it was a Tiger Army song, where that was what it stood for, but seemed out of place the way people used it...

 

[WrongSprite]

Yeah. I have MSN. So I try to or I get lost.

 

[EMFCRACKSHOT]

I have no idea what any of it means. I use real english. just most of the time i can never be bothered to us caps and punctuation and stuff. Thats just because i'm lazy though. Not because i don't know how

 

[Finnboghi]

Also, does /B/ mean 4chan?

It does not.

It merely implies it.

Also, I keep up on it, but don't use it myself.

 

[Dorian]

I speak English, not internet.

Besides, it's so confusing that I can't even make sense of it.

 

[Julianking93]

I think its the dumbest fucking thing on the planet to type all of that crap. Especially when someone actually says it.

 

[Lullabye]

I try to understand it, but don't use it.

Also, does /B/ mean 4chan?

Yes, omg YES! DON'T EVER SAY THAT NAME AGAIN!

Sometimes... don't really care for it... half the time if I see something used too many times, like "ftw" I have to go to urbandictionary.com and see what it means... Well, ftw never really made sense until I looked it up... thought it meant "fuck the world" because the first time I ever saw it was a Tiger Army song

same here. could've sworn it was fuck the world, the situations in which its used didn't help...

 

[Soulgaunt]

This.
I always end up taking time to check my posts and such. I don't know why, I just do.

you say that, yet you speak english? seriously, the internet gets its language from english!

 

[fanklok]

I try to understand it, but don't use it.

Also, does /B/ mean 4chan?

its the abbreviation for the random thread on 4chan and virtually every other chan

so it means random

and how in the hell is 4chan in firefox's dictionary but firefox and chan arent

Is there a difference between English English and American English?

Yes. There's also one between physical English and digital English. A BIG one.

I don't see many people running around town saying 'Lol, he r epock failz.'
