Salaam,

Omgosh!

I now know y der r 4ems dat b3nd talkin' lik dis.


It's really annoying and wow it looks horrible and it is not even cute. I'm not even going to bother responding to the replies that I get that speak this slang. I can't believe that I am sounding boogie, but I can really see why this rule is implemented on certain boards. Yuck.

salaam

Completely agree. People should take the time to write in full sentences and attempt to spell words correctly. I think it's harder to try to decipher what someone is saying 'wen dey start ritin lyk dis' compared to real English.

Remember people - we are trying to make it as easy as possible for each other to understand what we are trying to say. Don't make it any more difficult by using slang.

Plus, if you write nicely and in proper English with the intention of making it easy for someone to read, you'll get rewarded inshallah.

That's my rant. Thanks BoiStop for bringing that up.

Peace

Frankly, if you want to be understood, you have to write in a way that's legible!
Personally, I find some of these texting post so hard to decipher, that I am likely not to read them at all. And I know I'm not the only one! :rollseyes

Mind you, the same goes for those huge long posts, usually cut and pasted, and often without any paragraphs to make it easier on the eye!

Never mind Queen's English - just plain old people's English will do! :thankyou:

Peace.

^forget cool. If you try to say what they have actually written, you would be forgiven for thinking they've got something stuck in their mouth - or that they've temporarily taken out thier dentures or something.
No offence to anyone. Just write nicely.

I suppose sometimes you can't even read what is being typed.

if its a few shortenings like this sentence here (minimal), or:

Why cant we just talk like dis.

But as long as it is readable it shud(Note:should) be ok.

Yeah its rather annoying... but like the saying goes... the world keeps turning...

you either turn with it.. or get left behind.

It is easy to read properly constructed sentences... but,I guess when you're answering questions... you can't be bothered trying to correct their slang. At the same time.. it would help to be able to UNDERSTAND the questions in the first place.

Kids these days lol... its not "cool" to talk all slang lol

I found that the best way to reply to them is to just type in random letters in groups of 4. and periodicaly through in a number.

ie

thnx ixny 4 dink pink tink

Oddly, they seem to understand it. I just wish I knew what it was. But, I figure if I can't understand the question, it probably makes sense if I can't understand my reply.

Yes, I agree it is very annoying and in my opinion gives a very poor image to our members who speak English as a second Language.

Tell the truth, your tongue got wrapped around your eye teeth and you can't see what you are saying.

Slang is very appropriate in it's proper setting among peers and the messages are a form of identity among an age group. People will communicate in the most easy to understand language. When people are all of the same peer group, informal language is understandable and preferred. However, if the intent is to communicate across various structures, then it is essential to use the most widely recognised language, which will be the grammaticaly correct form of the language.

For that reason, slang is seen as a deliberate attempt to exclude people from a conversation.

A gentle reminder for those who may have forgotten what the FAQ's say.
Post Etiquettes


3. Please post in the appropriate forum.
4. Off-topic freeposts in multiple threads is very annoying please refrain from posting such comments. Off-topic also includes:

starting topic to re-discuss closed one

posting only to increase post count

5. When quoting an article, story, poem, review or any written material, you must mention the author, if known to you, and the source from which you copied these materials. Give credit to where it belongs.
6. Please refrain from typing extremely huge letters in order to get your message through.
7. Symbols and incomprehensible text speak are not allowed to be used in your posts.8. Honourable and dignified behaviour must be observed at all times, especially when replying to a post by a member of the opposite gender.
There are threads and forums here in which text and slang can be used. Some of the Humerous Halal Fun threads for example. However, if the purpose of a thread is to convey an Idea or a Belief, text and slang are very inappropriate. Also, in any religious thread some of us (myself for one) do view the use of text or slang as being disrespectfull or blasphemous.

well i think most people whom talk like slang && that are just having abit of fun but maybe there used to it as in texting on cell so yeah it makes it easier, but i prefer it like this because i find it hard to type like slang, i can remember i came newly first && i used to write soo much slang unbelieveable && people used to say translate or say me english is bad but walahi i find it hard well it takes me ages writting in slang humm well then again they shouldn't be banned for little things i mean well just cause they type slang humm well then again mods are mods so i have respect for them isnhalalh :)

as some members suggested we can just ignote text posts but theres a problem if the thread starter types like that and want ppl to reply to their thread.....

text speech is annoying but talking about is even more annoying.

what i hate about our ummah is that we complain and complain and complain and .................. complain some more but do absolutly nothing about it.

either the mods do something about it or we stop this useless talk already for god's sake.

It does take considerably more time to write, than it takes to write standard English. Also it is open to vague interpretation and only the writer knows what was actually meant.

Okay, I've given up on convincing the slang obsessed members.

But please, for the sake of Allah, don't put up text speak of the Quran. I've seen some copy/paste jobs being done quoting the Quran, and it is disrespectful and upsetting. What will we say when the Quran testifies against us? (Of course that question to myself first.) :( Just try your hardest to compromise this one thing if you reallllyyy have to type in slang/txt spk? :(

Yeah, I've seen that members have been picking on slang speaking members much more than before... Maybe it has gotten so annoying or very extreme, like every word in slang or so...? :?

Though it doesn't justifie it if they call slang using people completely stupid or ask them to read the dictionary or so... Just to ask them to make their posts legible... That would do it I guess... Or hope...

well Ukthi to behonest i find it much easier to type like this but then before i used to type like that because too much text on cell thats why :X, but i think we should just leave them alone because the majority of them are small && in primary school or just started secondry also most of them might not be using NET that much && they started using it recently but then again yes your right Musilm4life your correct this thread is just waste of space && waste or time also i can't believe the mods let this to carry on humm.. am still hunting down for the admin of this site to have a word because me want my love ones to stay not leave me, also if they ban all the snalg lingo people then whom is going to be on LI:? NO one so there we go && also if they do get warned humm.. weird but anyway thats the mods no arguing with them :X

completely agree. it really frustrates me when people write in slang, and i can imagine how frustrating it can be for those who are not fluent in english.. because its hard enough for the english speakers!

i also think people who write in that manner would benefit more if they wrote properly, its hardly positive brain training writing in such jibberish. i worry that it makes people thicker if they write like that.
