Masha Allah, it was clever the way u writ it and layed it out..

respected sister hana_Aku

some people find it kool, it makes them feel good and to them it sounds good.


i see nothing wrong with it


Assalamu Alaikum

Jazakallah khair nd jannah



Jazakallah khair and jannah


and @ all the other poeple

Puleeeaaase stop da tempa or ya aint gna be ma homie no mo

lol that sentence was made specifically to make ur tempers rise more...but now lets lower ur bloodz

It was just a joke, its just writing , its only the dunya, its just life, build a bridge and get over it
Wasalam

p.s.

Finding it cool and making them feel good and thinking it sounds good, doesn't change the fact it isn't. It doesn't change the fact they sound uneducated. It doesn't change the fact that those with English as a 2nd language can't necessarily understand it and many Native speakers are appalled that someone can butcher the language to the point it is not recognizable.

Would they write a thesis this way? Would they write a test essay in this manner? Would they write an article for an Islamic Magazine in this text? Would it be ok to apply for work using it? Would a letter of complaint to a business be acceptable written in this format? How about a letter offering a great suggestion to a large corporation? If not...why not?

Hey, to all those that see nothing wrong with it, that's completely up to you, but I do see plenty wrong with it and I choose not to listen to it, read it or acknowledge it and I still wish LI would ban it.

As I said, in my opinion, if it's not worth writing, it's not worth reading.

its only text. its only letters. its only reading. its only life. its only internet. its only a website. its only people. its only...ok i could go on forever but then i would feel bad coz it would make me sound like i am talking mean about u hana aku... and i wud never.. even if u did to me...


and also can we be on topic?

that may be the first time for me to say that....
wow....

This IS on topic, unless you want to explain how it isn't? Perhaps I'm missing something? .

Yes, it is only text, so would you use this text to do any of the things I suggested? If not, why not? It's only text, it's only letters, it's only reading, it's only people, it's only the internet...and yes, it is only life. So, would you write a resume or a cover letter using this text? Would you use this talk in an interview situation?

I'm sorry, I disagree that it is ONLY a website. It is an Islamic Learning Site that people have spent and continue to spend countless hours to create and maintain to teach about the beauty of Islam and to invite others. My words and how I use them are a reflection of who I am as are yours and everyone else's. When chatting to friends in private chat, or sms, e-mail, etc., that's completely different. How I choose to present myself in public (and this forum IS public), will be in direct relation to how I am perceived. When I am discussing my faith I want to be taken seriously, I want people to see that I have studied, I have taken the time to learn and when I need help I want them to see through my words that I am serious. On the PC in a public forum, words are all we have. THIS is how we present ourselves. My method and reasoning are obviously different from others.

It is obvious you are young and I fully understand it is mostly (although not limited to), young people that choose to use this text. Inshallah, one day you will understand why I dislike it so much. You still may not agree...but, you may have a better understanding.

Don't get upset, young sister. You are taking this very personal when it is simply a general observation. Chill oot!! (The canadian vesion )

Hana

Sorry, if you think I'm being mean to you. My comments are my opinion...you don't have to like them or agree with them, but they are mine.

ROFLLLLLLLLLLLLL ahahahhahahahhaha cnt stop laffin LOL

that is subject to opinion though...

some times people who sound "educated" also sound very arrogant and stuck up. I feel that using slang at times can show that your relaxed n easy going..,

the first one sounds better to me lol...
it makes you more approachable and seems more relaxed.


But in serious discussions i dont condone it, it just doesnt seem serious lol.

Theres opinions about it. A LOT of people dont mind it, and a few people do, thats what i think anyway..

Assalamu Alaikum

A LOT of people don't mind and A LOT of people do. Just depends how much slang you use and as mentioned earlier in what situation.


But I don't like it myself if it's too much slang, I just don't get it afterwards. I guess I'm not cool and do not fit in with the youngsters of today.. *sigh*


But I didn't get it this ; what is your talent when you're bored?

makin up sum nang raps n dat init u get meh blud

ahem

Aleykum selam we rahmetallahu we berekathu,

The raps she posted, aaaaah! Now I get it, thanks... Blud/Blood?

^ yeh blud as in ma homie get meh yo

(mate/friend) lol

As I have clearly stated from the beginning...this is simply my opinion...and by the number of reps....an opinion shared by many that choose not to take part in the discussion. I'm not suggesting to anyone they should stop using it. I am only telling you that there are many people that will not take the time to read text speak and why.

Why should "text typers" be concerned if I or 100 others don't read their post...they shouldn't be. But, if someone is looking for a response to something they posted and it was directed at me, they won't get one unless it's properly written. Still not a big deal, so everyone can carry on in whatever manner they choose and I'll still hope the day comes that LI will ban it.

Wa'alaikum salam,
Hana

^ lol ok inshaAllaah. i dont really mind either way
