This is my first entery on blogspot, yay!
Anyway. Like the title suggests I hate when people use chatspeak. Or, as some might know it as l33t sp34k. It's when people take real words you could find in the dictionary, and replace them with numbers (Ex. Geek becomes 'G33k'). It's not just replacing letters, you can also replace sound, like 'hate' would become 'h8'. It just bugs me, this chat speak, especially when people do this to already short words. I mean, we don't have an abbreviation for May, yet people still take short words and make them shorter. For those who only talk to people online that are literate, here's a longer example: Ah!11! 70d4y w3 704t1y l0st 0ur c0mp37i7i0n! Translation: Ah!! Today we toatly lost our competition! Some people think chatspeak is easier to use, but it just bugs me.

Yay! You're on! :D
I couldn't think of what to write. :P
I just put that I hoped that someone would comment because I wasn't very popular. Kinda embarrassing. At least, that's what I meant. Here's the link.

Finally I have someone to talk to!
Oh. Well, I guess I thought that I'd start off with a bang and rant a little.
Makes sense to me :)
I'm getting off now, I'm finding it difficult to draw and check on the comments at the same time. See ya tomarrow!
