Being a friend means mastering the art of timing. There is a time for silence, a time to let go and allow people to hurt themselves in their own destiny, and a time to pick up the pieces when it’s all over.

How NOT to type

1. Don’t type mixing lowercase and uppercase letters (ExAmPlE- yOu SuCk). You are not cool!

2. Don’t replace letters with numbers (3×4mpl3: 0r30). Again, you are not cool!

3. Don’t double the letter “i” because you think it looks cute (ii mean somethiing liike thiis).

4. Don’t replace the letter “g” with the letter “q” (Example: qirl, i’m qood!)! They are two different letters for a freakin’ reason!

5. Don’t add a “z” to words ending with “s” (or vice versa), that is the most ridiculous thing ever (Example: Typing like thisz isz not the businessz).

6. The biggest NO-NO of them all: DON’T COMBINE ANY OF THE ABOVE NO-NO’S TOGETHER, THAT’S THE WORST OF THEM ALL (Example: Mii frii3nD N ii W3nT 2 D4 sT0r3 ‘C4usz w3 q0t hUnqrY)!!

    Thos are all so true! Very well written, I hate when people do that. Way back when, when everyone had Piczo, this girl wrote “Don’t waist my time.” I wrote in her guestbook and corrected her homonym error :yum:

  2. Alice said:

    I definitely find all of these annoying. ESPECIALLY the last one. I can never read it.

  3. Jessica said:

    haha,I totally agree!It’s also very hard to read text when it’s written like that.

  4. Andrea said:

    So true. That type of thing really annoys me! :dead:

  5. Anna said:

    those are really annoying! and sometimes its so hard to read that ppl don’t read it at all and then others don’t know why they aren’t getting replies! I hate that somtimes!

  6. Anna said:

    sorry i pushed enter on accident. I was gonna say that if people are gonna do that then they should at least make it more like this:

    My fri3nd & I w3nt 2 the st0r3 cuz we g0t hungry!!

    that is easier to read and even though its still annoying its better than all of it combined!!! I hate when ppl do that.

  7. Aparna said:

    I find it funny when people use “your” instead of “you are” and vice-versa :P. Ive seen loads of people using “there” instead of “their”

    But the most annoying is “dis,dat,dos,ver” kinda language (acc. to me)

    Btw, I SO agree with point 5.! :D

  8. Joanne said:

    Those are very very true. Thank you for posting this. More power. :happy:

  9. Cindy said:

    I completely agree. I mean, I just hate it when you can’t even see anything. I have this ’special talent’ (just ignore that. >.>) where I could read this stuff, even though I don’t use it, or have EVER used it.

    I hate it when people forgot their periods, or just do type well but Type Like This All The Time. You don’t need to capitalize(sp?) your letters, it’s pretty much abusing it. :/ Use it when you need to.

    I’m not saying people who make tiny spelling mistakes [your for you're, there for their, they're, etc] really bug me, but it’s kind of.. when people use shorter words for it. [ppl for people, etc.] Ugh.

    My friend thinks it’s so cool, she writes like ‘dat in rl LOL i dink its so kool lol.’ Totally.. ugh.

    Type how you should write like in real life. :/

  10. Shellz said:

    haha, I love all of those!!
    9ii c dAt on fAceb00k all dA tymezz LOL)

    I don’t see the point of doing that though. :blank:

  11. Jasmine said:

    I wouldn’t lie, but I do replace the g’s with a Q.. I am so used to doinq that, but when I type an essay, or do a book report, its different.. one thinq you should add on this.. is DO NOT write with the BIG O’s replacinq the small o’s in a lowercase sentence,

    example: whats gOOd, readinq a bOOk, bOred Out my mind.. and so on.

  12. Kat said:

    Dont spell stupdi wrong! also be sortof aware of slang terms when typing like i emaild somebody in my class saying do you have anymore nuts, he had had realy good walnuts the day before… but he dosent email me anymore… :frown:

  13. Kat said:

    Whoops i just spelled stupid wrong… I didnt mean to…

  14. Setareh said:

    Ugh! SOOO right!I also hate it when people put a “1″ intead of one, like example some1, worse yet sum1 nonono SuM1 nooo $Um1 URGH!! lol and “2″ instead of to/too, I also hate it when people try to “decorate” they’re text like this omggg“~(Y) Ilyyy

  15. haylee said:

    so true!!
    It took me FOREVER to read the last one! this really helps

  16. Rachel said:

    As a three-time spelling bee champion, improper spelling and typing especially irritates me! Thanks for putting this up here :D. Also, when people say “dat” and “dis” as a replacement for “that” and “this”, I get really annoyed. Currently one of my hostees is doing all of the above, which are all against my rules, I gotta delete her. She’s been warned like 3 times, LOL.
    Anyway, off-topic, sorry:D But thanks for putting this here:D

  17. Nani said:

    My friend types like that ALL the time…seriously go to my g-book and u’ll see it says ‘ira’ and she write LiK3 Di$$ all the time. She does the q and g thing a lot too…ugh!!!

  18. Vikki said:

    Wow, yeah i agree. My cousin writes like the last one in texts aswell!! Its sooo annoying, I can’t understand what she’s saying! :angry:

  19. Line said:

    All of those No-No’s are so true! :smile:

  20. Mila said:

    i SO agree! I use to write it but i mean…think about it takes foreverrrr !! and you forgot to say when peOple add O’s like this. i went Out, Omg a cOw wOah..

  21. Mila said:

    h e y m y f r i e n d i l o o o v e e t o t y p e w i t h S P A C E S.. or typing with NO spacesJustLikeThis.WhatsThePoint?TheSpacebarWasInventedForAReason.

  22. haylee said:

    I have an addition to #5.
    It’s also annoying when people replace the s completely.
    (p.s. love the site :happy: )

  23. Amanda said:

    haha, this made me crack up. xD

  24. sequita said:

    -claps-
    I’m so going to give this to somebody on Myspace. Imagine if people wrote like that in school…-shudders-

  25. Anita said:

    AHAHA this is hilarious!

  26. Sarah said:

    I Hate People Who Capitalise Every Letter Like This Too.

    Ugh annoying.

  27. Tea said:

    I hate it when people put ‘x’ in thanks. example: happy thanxgiving

  28. Frankii said:

    People keep telling me I put two i’s on the end of my name to be cute, but it’s actually how I’ve always spelt my name.
    It gets annoying after a while.

  29. Laura Michelle said:

    I hate when people capitalize every letter (Example: This Is A Picture Of Me And My Friend. I’m The One On The Left) my sister does that, and it’s really annoying! But it’s also annoying when people never use capitals, not even on names and stuff (Example: hi katy and jemma, how are you? i just got back from the store sorry i was gone so long) and it’s also annoying when people shorten and slang words. I know some people are too lazy or tired to do it, but even when I’m tired, I make the effort! (Example: yea thanx 4 da cmnt, i rly lyk ur syt 2) and it’s just sooooo annoying when people never use spaces! (Example: YeahIKnowThanksForTheGiftMaha) I was talking on a chat box the other day and someone was talking like that – I felt like screaming! And I so agree with 5! I agree with all of them! Especially 2! I hate it! On my site (So-Miley) someone said “Hey i l0ve s0m1l3y!” Ahh, scary. Bone chilling infact.

  30. Laura Michelle said:

    It’s also so annoying when people say && instead of & UGH!!

  31. Jo said:

    I agree, I don’t want to spend 10 minutes firguring out how to read what they are saying.

  32. Joanne said:

    omg! i hate it when people type like that to me x) it takes me a while to figure out what it says haha. i remember when i used to type like that .. took me like 2 years to type one little sentence xD

  33. Sara said:

    Okay, I HATE ALL OF THAT! I cant STAND IT! I cant EVER read it

  34. Sara said:

    :shh: :sad: :love: :shh: :sad: :wink: :shock: :sick:

  35. Savannah said:

    I totally agree with all of you guys :wink: It’s kinda annoying when people never use capital letters. Gah it’s spine-chilling. But it’s also pretty annoying when people use capitals for every word (Example: Hi Mandy, What’s Up? Thanks For The Help With My Site, It Works Now) gahhh I hate it so badly :shh: It’s also REALLY annoying when people spell your name wrong because they think it’s “Cool”. Well news flash, it ain’t. It’s so weird and stupid how people type like “Hi welcome to site, thank for visiting and support, please leave comment.” verrrrry bonechilling! And it freaks me out how people never use spaces (Example: HiNiceSiteKeepUpTheGoodWork!) come on guys, the space bar was invented for a freaking reason!! :cute: And please, don’t ever, ever, ever say && instead of & it sucks, its weird, its stupid, what’s the freaking point?!? “And, and, and, and, and yeah she loved it” < Yeah, don’t ever do that either. Okey Dokey I’m done. OK maybe not.. One more thing. Please, guys never use 1 instead of i’s or 0’s instead of o’s (Example: h1 1′m shann0n) FREAKING FREAKY!! OK done..
    Savannah :tongue:

  36. Turhan said:

    That was hilarious. Well, number 6! I’m with you 110%!

  37. Shannon said:

    Ahahahahahahaha.
    This is the same Shannon, comment #1.

    Another thing I hate:
    When People Type Like This And Capitalize Every Word That They Write. It Is So Annoying.

    I was visiting a site that typed like that and I just had to exit. It was annoying as hell.

  38. EllMO said:

    I know I just hate it when people use numbers instead of words. And I could never read anything on their site. (And my name is MEANT to be using a capital E and lower case ll and then MO in capitals, becuase its my boyfriends initials and my nickname mixed up) :smile: :cute: :grin: :wink:

  39. Phoebe said:

    I think you should go back and correct any typoes, like
    typo*.

  40. Chami said:

    I abhor when people overuse words (commonly overused words: “like,” “totally,” “hate,” “never,” “forever”). It’s quite terrible when people do not understand how to use an apostrophe, too. Chatspeak in general is annoying. On the new side – putting “;;” at the end of every sentence. People think it’s artistic, but it’s unnecessary! People overuse ellipses too, putting them after every two words. Okay, one more before I put some examples – don’t you shiver when people put 40 exclamation points at the end of a sentence, combined with talking in all capital letters?

    There are so many, so I’ll just put it all in a few examples:
    (Note:Girl to girl) “Haaay gorgie… ya da hotzzz man!!!!!!!! ilysfmm;;”

    “&&omg!!!! HE TOTALLY DID NOT SAY DAT!!!!!!!!!!”

    “2day… ii wuz liek… walkinn… &&ii saw dis DOG… and… omg… it wuz so fuglyyy… lol… i wuz talkin bout a real dog… NOT U…jk… ifly<33…friends foreverrr;;”

    Okay, I think you get my point. Phew, that took ages to type!

  41. Mehmehhh said:

    So true it takes so much more time to ” TyP3 LiiK3 DiiS” and it makes you sound ignorant and uneducated.

  42. Morgan said:

    I agree most with number 3. It doesn’t look cute, funny, etc.
    It looks like you don’t know how to type.
