My talent while bored (lol)

[Ali.]

I know this is drifting slightly off-topic now, but since some people detest the use of 'ghetto language' so much, I'd just like to inform everybody that I was joking, and most people are as well when they use it.

 

[Mikayeel]

LOOOOOOOOOOL ur HILARIUS!! LOOOOOOL



hmm.. its just talk. and its juss shortcut for english..and its for people liek me who hate the englsih language and spelling... lol

lool, i dnt like that Gangster talk either to be honest, i don't see the real point of it.

I do it sometimes for joke with my friends, to take the mick out of people who do it. But it stays at that. I think its sounds very ugly! Its a shorcut that people don't appreciate(most people), unless ya the type of person who gots his jeans hanging down to ya knees!

[Na7lah]

congratulations, u have been scammed by truemuslim and read the whole thing and wasted about 5 minutes of your life which u will never get back.

lol u joka

ya never know who Allah will give Hidayah

Why are so many people against it????

Have you looked at it?? Read it? This is not English and, quite frankly, it gives a poor representation of the, hmmmm, intelligence of the person that uses it. Sadly, the person could be brilliant, but their writing isn't worth wasting a second reading.

Imagine a person coming to learn about Islam where their first language isn't English and reading garbage like text speak or gangsta speak, whatever you want to call it. Imagine an English speaking person coming to learn more and coming across this mess. :enough!:

It is not cute, it is not acceptable, it is not cool. The only thing it is....is pathetic.

The only thing I did read in the last 2 posts was....the first line why so many people against this short cut ting???... Your short cut was to leave out the "h" in "thing"...but you added 3 question marks and 3 dots. What exactly was the short cut??? :rollseyes

I sincerely wish LI would ban this type of text. It really does give a very bad impression.

Again....my 2 cents for what it's worth. :-[

Yehh...


I won't ever go to cali...not london???woow...lol. plus all the cool ppl live there
lol ma kiddin itsa tiight city....except the accents...they really get annoying...and i dont even liv anywhere where there is those accents!

 

[Souljette]

Ok now the sisters reminding me of the english teachers..I use normal english on L.I and all only on msn i use shortcuts even maybe here but on threads that doesn't carry as much importance but i feel it's driving away people who can relate to some threads.. i personally came into this forum when i saw the rhymes thread and the poetry thread and then later on i started exploring but that was what mainly interested me in the beginning..and there is alotta shortcuts used there

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.

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.

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..,

wag1 bro you good yeh?

or

Hello there brother. How are you?

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

 

[Al-Zaara]

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. imsad 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?
