"@" stands for "at" I do believe. Thus when saying "t w a t" or suchlike please don't put "tw@t", as that would be "t w a t t" which is clearly incorrect. It should simply be "tw@".

That is all.

:clown:

slightly related

I hate it when people say PIN Number as it would be Personal Identifaction Number Number.

:clown:

Damn right :D

or massive big *object*

how can it be big AND massive.....

mmm, I was about to go into double negative territory ("I ain't done nothing") but that would push me over the edge I reckon :lol:

I use the @ sign as an alternative for the A... like á.

A bit like the WRC Championship - World Rally Championship Championship

Is this directed at the "run out of money" thread? If so I was thinking about this too. I wasn't quite sad enough to start a thread about it though ;) :raz:

Bingo :D Evidently I was sad enough :D

2 things:

1) 'Advanced ABS braking system'

So, that'll be an advanced antilock braking system braking system?

2) The HIV virus

WHAT DO YOU THINK THE 'V' STANDS FOR????????? :mad:

I also hate peeps who say 'nuffink' and 'sumthink' or 'f9' to say fine lol Arrrrgh :evil:

We had a cafe in Cardiff called "The Warm As Toast Cafe" I really used to hate all the tossers who constantly called it "The T.W.A.T.". The The? WTF? F**k off home, relearn to read, then come back to Uni. D1ckheads.

<pause>

Gee. That's been bugging me a while, evidently.

blatently obvious is one that gets me, u wouldn't say obviously obvious??

I just can't resist...

tw@t = twatt = no change in pronunciation

big and massive; big implies large size, massive implies large mass. A hot air balloon is big and not massive. A mountain is big and massive. A neutron star is small and massive.

So there :p

HB

Not knocking you, but a neutron star is still fairly large.

Compared to how many cheeseburgers?`

Not knocking you, but a neutron star is still fairly large.
Not for it's mass. Pound for pound, it's bloody tiny :p

HB

PS: Knew I could lure a pedant out with that example ;)

Aye but it still won't fit in your teacup.

P.s. Ooooh speed editing, admit it, you f*cked up ;) :p

Like Jim, I never make mistakes. Unlike Jim, I really do have a 12" schlong :raz:

allrite mister harri bo, fink abowt wot miyt happen if wee all started talking fonetically tho. :p

The point is, the spelling is wrong, not the pronunciation, but as its a forum, its the spelling that matters. It must stop :D

Another one is 'can I lend your phone please mate?'

Erm no, but you can certainly BORROW it :rolleyes: :evil:

allrite mister harri bo, fink abowt wot miyt happen if wee all started talking fonetically tho. :p

I would hunt you all down and kill you :D

B

allrite mister harri bo, fink abowt wot miyt happen if wee all started talking fonetically tho. :p
Wudnt reely bovver me!

I suspect you'd have some kind of stroke though :lol:

HB

allrite mister harri bo, fink abowt wot miyt happen if wee all started talking fonetically tho. :p
Well if we did you would suck at it :p

'Hence why' crops up more than occasionally on this forum. Etiquette has prevented me from killing anyone yet, but that really annoys me.

^ You spell 'weird' 'wierd'. Hence why people in glass houses....:p

Quite tempted to rename this thread... how about "Ultimate Grammar Nazi Free-for-All"? :raz:

Before anyone starts, I know I'm lazy with commas, inconsistent with how I format units of measurement and there are a few words I just can't seem to spell :p

was ths directed at hrc by any chance? :D

I only just spotted this thread. You know what bothers me? People who are pendantic. That really gets on my nerves.

I just use the @ as a T. Get over it.

TW@T ;)

I do? o_0

no you don't; you use it as an A! :lol:






while were at it, numbers as letters annoy me when its trying to be clever. ie:

SE7EN - that'll be SE-SEVEN-EN then.
and 5IVE - FIVE-IVE..

spacks!

not much gets to me except when people have some st1tty gif images on msn, they write a sentance and all you can see are animations, you have to right click on the actual animation to see what the letter is. :whatever: :whatever: :whatever:

I thought 3=E
1=I or L
5=S
2=Z
4=H
0=O
7=T again

That's how I've tended to see them used. Maybe only the 1337 use them like that.

Pedantic? :p

m3h :D

The brain can read and understand misspelled words so why does it even bother you!

The internet is free of rules!

Pedantic? :p

I knew somebody would fall into my trap. :lol:

I get them at work with that all the time. The pedants just can't resist but pull me up on it.

The trap was set for GMC though :(
