They're, Their, There

They're - contraction of "they are", example: "They're running from the sprayers."
Their - means ownership of something, example: "It's their flag that we're stealing!"
There - refers to a place, example: "Pick up the gun over there."

We're, Were

We're - contraction of "we are," example: "We're the best!"
Were - tells of something in the past. example: "They were the best, but now they suck." "We were over there, but then we respawned here."

"u" is not a word. Neither is "r," nor "yur." You, are, your are all words. I's are capitalized. omg should be "Oh my God." CROSS YOUR T'S DAMN IT.

And if there's important stuff I forgot, lemme know.

OH YEAH:
I before E except after C, unless sounded like <fonzie>eeehhhh</fonzie> as in neighbor and weigh. "Whut" is not a word, "what" is.

PUNCTUATION IS IMPORTANT.

uh? I think people know u and omg aren't words but they use them to shorten stuff when they don't have time to type :/ people aren't that dumb you know :p
The first part is useful I guess for those people who don't learn english in school or something

What do you mean by CROSS YOUR T'S ?

SDFilm · « **Reply #5 on:** July 04, 2006, 10:03:03 am »

I might say "OMG" "lol" etc, but i'll never say "u" your "r" as words.

Do not even try to tell me people don't have enough time to type. most people are just too lazy to type like the have any sort of grasp on the english language, and they resort to excuses like "i dun hav enuf tim 2 typ tht" I know, I've seen it. Those people get banned from the Garry's Mod forums for being dumb. It actually bans people for stupidity/laziness. Anyway...

Lemme is not a word (Thanks Dascoo) It's "Let me."
Thx is not a word either, it's "Thanks."

"Lemme" is dialect phrasing and fine -- it's spelled that way to be pronounced the way it may be spoken by people. "Thx" is stupid Internet "l33t" speak and needs to die along with "r," "u," and so forth. It'd depressing how many otherwise intelligent people write with an Internet mind, even in corporate e-mails.

There's nothing wrong with not using plural there, yuk. Although the lack of period was nicely spotted

SDFilm · « **Reply #11 on:** July 04, 2006, 10:58:03 am »

Punctuation is a word, and I think that was used in the right context.

Vltava · « **Reply #12 on:** July 04, 2006, 11:35:25 am »

Some people online might be stupid, ignorant, or just plain odd and will type like that. In no way does that mean they are any less intelligent than the rest of us. Get used to it, and welcome to the Internet.

Shake the grammar stick!

Nfsjunkie91 · « **Reply #14 on:** July 04, 2006, 11:38:06 am »

Yay Yuk for finding my errors!

I'm, IM

I'm - contraction of "I am," example: "I'm going to kill you now."
IM - Abbreviation of Instant Message or Instant Messaging, example: "I'll IM you with the details."

I'll, Ill

I'll - contraction of "I will," example: "I'll play your clan later."
Ill - sick, example: "I can't play Soldat because I am ill."

"l8r" is not a word, "later" is.

I was talking during soldat :p
Like if you see the efc or something you type it as quickly as possible to chase him down :p

Nfsjunkie91 · « **Reply #18 on:** July 04, 2006, 01:51:11 pm »

Well, in soldat, yeah, that's an excuse, I'm mainly talking about people on forums, where they have PLENTY of time.

FliesLikeABrick · « **Reply #19 on:** July 04, 2006, 02:32:41 pm »

all of the things like they're their there really annoy me when people get it wrong.

I can understand if you're lazy and want to type youre instead of you're, but please... don't type "your," it makes you look like a moron.
