Im so tired of people using those STUPID online acronyms and the STUPID FAIL and WIN and FTW and all that garbage.
If you have something to say speak English, its bad enough as it is without all this bogus internet kiddie created lingo that is completely useless and unreadable to 90% of the world.
So just stop it.
And because I just know that the first reply to this thread will include idiotic acronyms and useless expressive language I ask the devs lock but not delete this thread. Make it sticky actually.
This way people ( and kiddies especially) can see it, realize they are idiots, then cant post the defend their idiocy.
good grief.

The first "their" should actually be "they're", because I believe you are trying to say "they are idiots", not "the idiots that belong to them".
Just sayin'.
EDIT: Ah, you edited it. You must have noticed.
Tepid Anecdote, Male Sibling.
I usually don't bother to correct spelling and grammar these days--but you get my hero of the day award. Seriously.
So, what you're saying, is that you'd like for people to stop using internet lingo on the internet. Isn't that akin to hanging out in Germany and griping about all the German? Maybe you should just not hang out on the internet and then your problem is entirely resolved, as clearly this is very stressful for you.
How is that ever helpful, or even close to accurate?
TLDR
OMG
WTF
IBL
"Im so tired..." "... English, its bad enough a... "
Apostrophe?
YOU FAIL!
You forgot to include proper punctuation. Im is "I'm" as it is a contraction of the words "I" and "am" to indicate that you are leaving letters out in order to save type/time. Oh, wait, what were you talking about? I fell asleep...
I didn't even know what QQ meant until yesterday; I had to look it up. I think that's even something my generation uses. So out of touch.
Who cares the topic is about acronyms and and blatant hijacking of the english language for little to no purpose. Go ahead and cut my post up, you are missing the point.
fascism: (sometimes initial capital letter) a governmental system led by a dictator having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce, etc., and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often racism.
Here's a small treatise for you, since you think you're all cute and smarmy with your forum etiquette now and what not. It's this thing called semantics and it was a loose and colloquial use of the word. Put simply, the OP in his first post requested that the mods lock but not delete his thread.
The stifling of opposition and criticism and a request to the governmental system (Cryptic), I would say, fits at least a large portion and commonly referred to definition of fascism.
To respond:
How is it helpful? Maybe if someone realizes they're being priggish and the like, they might chill out some.
How is it even close to accurate? See above.
I like this word.
I will propogate it's usage throughout teh interwebs.
Actually, you missed my point. You contracted a word from "I am" to "I'm" in order to produce a short hand. A lot of folks feel that using even MORE shorthand is agreeable. I am saying that you contradicted the very nature of your intent, and thus invalidated your own argument. Never mind that I happen to agree with the spirit of the message, you simply lost the point of those that use the shorthand. I don't use it, but, I understand it, and don't allow it to have control over my emotions. Worse yet. replying to such a petty thing in such a hostile nature.
If the world as a whole were under fascist control we would all probobly live a happier life ( though some would not) but im not worried about anyone else. smarmy?
If you have something to say speak English, its bad enough as it is without all this bogus Boston kiddie created lingo that is completely useless and unreadable to 90% of the world.
So just stop it.

'Im' with you buddy!
Someone got so excited, forgot to use "Spell Check."
You don't know what sarcasm means right?
If happiness is simply illusion, sure. If inalienable human rights are considered and the pursuit of happiness is an actual ideal, not quite. Regardless.
smarmy: Hypocritically, complacently, or effusively earnest; unctuous.
Iron fist, velvet glove. The world needs an emperor and maybe a vader too.
ahh! i know unctuous. thanks.
