Idaho Dad: Bugged By Internet Slang
Idaho Dad: It's not DFO's use of it that bugs me, but “prolly” seems to be showing up everywhere. “Probably” is two letters longer. Is it going to kill people to type those two additional letters? Plus, it just sounds wrong. I'd make the same case for “mebbe,” as it contains the same amount of letters. I don't get the slang use. Is it supposed to give a different tone to one's comment to say “mebbe” like you're hanging out down at the General Store around the pickle barrel with all the other farmers? I get that. I also don't do much LOLing and such. If I'm going to say something, I'd rather just fully type it all out in proper English. Oh, and I'm also not clued in on this new @JoeSchmo, or @BillyBob thing when you're replying to another commenter. When did we all join Twitter?
Question: Which slang or Twitter-type slang on this blog bugs you?
