Rules of Engagem...I mean.....
 
Due to certain incedents which happend wit me n Al at skool, i had decided to draft up the 'rules of uncalledforness' which relates to wat is completely uncalled for & wat is not, i m going to send dis to my gud friend the Secretary-General of the UN so it has to be gud :)

Draft of the 'rules of uncalledforness'

0.1- no person shall do physical abuse or jus offend w/o a reason or the spirit of the moment ( relates especially to Alcar)

0.2-maybe if u believ dat the other person deserves it or dat u hav a sudden urge to physical abuse or jus offend the other person plz warn the person to justify it.

0.3-Punishments can be severe n to be chosen by the person who was harmed, the penalty of death is encouraged

0.4-Try not to commit this crime enough to commit the other person to suicide

0.5-r*pe alrdy has its own rules so its not counted

0.6-Don't tell me dat the this or any part of this post is completely 'uncalled for'

Plz post some suggestions before i fink of sending this off...

What the fudge are you yapping about?

I honestly do not understand what you have posted. I don't suffer from Chatspeak Syndrome and only managed to understand the first sentence and number 0.3 (And I can't manage to comprehend what the hell this is about)

Dyslexia does not etend to replacing "th"s with "d"s. I've even decided to start a chain letter on it, in fact.

:

Today, a disease is spreading in society. Officials such as myself have dubbed it as "Internet-lingo-itis".

Symptoms include the complete forgetting of ones written language. This is changed to "dis", right is changed to "rite", any given "o" may become a "u", and worst of all it is a spreading conflict. innocent children are being inroduced and influenced by wannabe internet 1337ists. It creates a false dilusion of coolness.

Through my extensive research, I have concluded that it most commonly affects those who think they are cool, or have a limited sense of netiquette. Most likely, the person does not even say "dis" or "dat" in real life, but thinks of it as a stylistic and linguistic form of writing on the internet.

Thats right folks, this contagious disease promotes the useage of mispellings and utterly incomprehensible internet lingo. Remember, this is a SERIOUS disease. Please donate to the Internet-lingo-itis foundation, so we may help stop this dreaded disease. Also, for each person you forward this on to, 3 cents will be donated to the ILI foundation and you will be blessed with beautiful girls of your dreams, eternal good luck, a random wish, and you will personally be sent $785.9234882 by Bill Gates.

Thank you for your time.
You know, I think that may actually be an overqualified chain letter. There's proper grammar and all. Heck, we should actually all send that out as a joke, maybe it would spread...

Hobo 11-05-2003 02:58 PM

Majic, you surely are a GOD

Majic 11-05-2003 03:51 PM

Actually, I realized it WOULD be pretty cool if we started a joke chain letter that spread. It'd be even better if some of us actually got it back from other people outside the forums, too... Think of the fame and fortune of starting a chain letter! It's almost as great as having your name being said on the school annoncements.

Wil 11-05-2003 04:58 PM

While I'm perfectly willing to accept and use such abbreviations, acronyms, altered spellings and such on instant messaging and spammy private emails to friends, Forums and mass emails are clearly not the place for them. Employing such slobiness in formal environments such as these is completely uncalled for. *wink*

I'm all for starting an actual chain mail about this, but Davey, send it to me for a proof read first, would you? While they're more than likely unintentional, I spotted several typos in there which petty people such as myself could use to justify calling you a hypocrite.

But if you're gonna make a serious one, I vote for dropping the crap at the end of that. While amusingly parodying RL chain mails, it's crap. Good night, fair people.

Majic 11-05-2003 06:07 PM

I just looked at it again and spotted an uncapitalized letter... Of course, that post took me forever to type. I was using a ghetto school laptop computer. They have dreadful keyboards, but worse than that, the mice worked as left mouse buttons if you touched them lightly. So every time I accidentaly hit the mosue pad for a second while typing, the cusor would be popped into the middle of a paragraph or something and make it a pain in the ass to them go back and delete the unwanted text, and then go back to where I wanted to be.

Damn school laptops. I wasn't even lucky enough to get one of them that had Aim on it. I always sucked at proofreading too. My mom hates me for it.

Drafting a chain letter may have to wait until the weekend though, as I have this massive (think morbidly obese persons poop size) packet to work on for Biology that I haven't even started. And it's due tomorrow. I'm good...

Wil 11-05-2003 06:46 PM

For the work, similar, except I've got chemistry, geography, French, English, German and art too. I'm quite proud, though, I've done two homeworks tonight, a whole two more than I usually get around to even starting. I can wait till the weekend just fine.

BTW, I spotted two uncapilatised letters, a contraction that should have an apostrophe and a missing 't', but your grovelling excuse is accepted.

Majic 11-05-2003 06:53 PM

Indeed.

I also have a Biology lab writeup to complete that was due yesterday, and then two Algebra 2 assignments. I have 7 hours until I go to bed. I think it says something when I'm starting my stuff now. *cringe*

Someone slay me, I feel dirty.

nads 11-05-2003 11:06 PM

I love you majic, so it would kill me to kill you!

ooh! a new suicide technique!

racla 11-06-2003 07:29 AM

OMG and you think this is bad...I can get a lot worst then what I have written about the 'rules of uncalledforness', you people have no idea how bad i can get, i myself have noticed how bad it is and would just die trying to edit it....look here's a taste of how bad i can be...'"luuk mi dawnt speek disleksik, i caN gat sow mutch wurst, rACla" :)

Facsimile 11-08-2003 12:16 AM

Don't call Alcar 'Al'. There is already an Al here.

beserker slig 11-13-2003 09:17 PM

So, when is this joke chain-letter going to be finalized? It made me laugh! :lol: Anyway, once it is finished(if the idea has not been abandoned), I wouldn't mind helping distribute it across the web! :D
