Need a translator these days?

Lara · 10-14-2005, 07:01 PM

Ok, I don't think I'm getting too old yet but nevertheless I have been struggling with the interpretation of some posts lately. Perhaps this site will help others who may also be feeling their age

mlefev · 10-14-2005, 07:03 PM

LOL that's great. Good one.

goodie · 10-14-2005, 07:17 PM

That's a good one. I was trying to come up with stuff that I thought it wouldn't be able to translate. Needless to say I couldn't. I'm starting to feel old now.

fishboy · 10-14-2005, 07:22 PM

not up to date. "I got to go" isn't "got 2 go" it's "g2g" now. The translater doesn't know alot of AIM talk

Lara · 10-15-2005, 08:04 PM

LOL fishboy! Perhaps you could become an advisor to the site hosts, doesn't seem you need an interpretor

fishboy · 10-16-2005, 12:32 PM

POS is a signal if you're typing something bad which means you have to go and come right back the true meaning is "Parent Over Shoulder" Depending on the context it could mean peice of ****

**Baby_Baby** · 10-16-2005, 02:11 PM

Damon · 10-16-2005, 02:49 PM

I find it easier to just not respond if I can't read the post. If the user cant take the time for simple things like punctuation and spelling, I'm not wasting my time trying to decipher. I realise noone is perfect, and we have members who speak english as a second language (although better than some of the kids in my area!). I can live with that. My pet peeve when reading a post is the following.................

"i donno whats wrong with my fish they were fine up until yesterday now they have white spots on them should i add salt to the tank whats a good med for white spot thanks."

Is is too much to add a period or comma and maybe a few capital letters?

**Baby_Baby** · 10-16-2005, 05:40 PM

dude, u must be really mad at me, then. lol
funny cuz I'm an AP english student 3 years straight =)

AshleytheGreat · 10-16-2005, 06:41 PM
