Subject: Re: I was just wondering, why does everybody seem to like using slang on this board? Whats wrong with proper English? Author: Maureen J [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 21:03:44 06/27/03 Fri In reply to: Mom 's message, "I was just wondering, why does everybody seem to like using slang on this board? Whats wrong with proper English?" on 18:49:52 06/27/03 Fri Any time I am instant messaging someone, I use slang and abbreviations and other things. It's just easier. I do, though, find it a little annoying when people use slang on boards like this and other things. For example, what's the point of saying "dats" instead of "thats?" Maybe people do this out of habit. Maybe they just are used to talking in that way. Who knows? [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
