Behold the great return!
Had a very small chat with Kam about language on the internet and I thought, being a leetspeak kind of person, to throw in a message.

LANGUAGE ON THE INTERNET – LMK’s Opinion!
Before you enter the internet, there are a few things you should know.
People on the net are 99% retarded and 1% sane. This goes on from spammers to new friends.

Forums:
It’s a place where you can publicly discuss. Several rules are set on this.
There is NO SUCH THING as freedom of speech on these. Admins will vomit all over your face. You can encounter the daily “lol”s and “XD”s from time to time there.
Opinion: “haha” feels stupid. LOL FOR THE WIN! Though I’m a hardcore XD-er if I say so myself.

Leetspeak.
8-year-olds use it to act cool. If you do it too, I’ll be the one vomiting. Leetspeak is an art which only is effective in the right situation. Jokes are proving how stupid these 8-year-olds truly are. But if I see someone calling a newbie a “noob” for the 1000st time, I’ll personally stab a knife through his eye, as that word is RETARDED.
A Noob is a moron who can’t do ANYTHING by himself and therefor he begs, spams and acts like an idiot. A Newb(ie) is a new player or registrant. Bash that into your thick skull. Mkay?

Using different languages through each other.
This is the internet. Getting pissed because someone uses 2 different languages in the same sentence? Go make a livejournal and cry on it.
It’s approved by me. If it weren’t for using different languages, some REAL-LIFE languages wouldn’t have expanded into what they are now. Languages borrow words from each other, which slowly get added to the native tongue. Take Computer for example. A lot of languages uses the word Computer. I don’t see anyone else crying about it.

Spelling
Don’t expect that every single person can spell out everything perfectly. This is the internet. An escape from the enforced laws of psychics and stuff from the real world. People are trying to relax here, not be flooded with millions of new stupid rules which barely make sense. A lot of people typ fast and don’t notice they make an error. But if your sentence looks totally screwed up, the Internet might not be the place for you. Expect an angry mob of “Zomg j00 cannut spel l0l!”-kind of mob in 5 minutes. Though you can just laugh at them and continue whatever you were doing.
