Most annoying spelling mistake in WoW chat?

[Ashnazg]

Inscriptionist pisses me off, but I understand that few people playing this game these days are literate enough to know the word "scribe".

Other than that, rouge and people using g2g to mean "good to go" rather than "got to go".

that is a viable alternate for scribe.

Not according to the English language

Anyone who chats in text-speak.

More humorous than annoying: Had a guy wanting to sell a "Serpent d(i)ck" in trade the other day. Obviously, he meant deck...but the lulz flowed freely.

[Triptych]

The most irritating thing for me, is seeing players add "lol" to everything they type in chat.

[TRADE]: ne1 want to dual outside stormwind lol

[TRADE]: as a dk should I gem crit or haste????
[TRADE]: agi lol
[TRADE]: lol

[TRADE]: Where's teh best place to farm volatile fire!
[TRADE]: AH lol

[RAID]: wewt only two more sigils to get my Sha touched gem lol
[RAID]: grats lol


This type of garbage is what you're faced with 95% of the time in public channels. It's like watching my 9 year old daughter on her facebook chat. And it gets really hard to maintain the illusion that you're playing the game with other adults. /sadface

drood. it is not a class and misspelling class names does not make you look cool.

[Mnevis]

Doesn't really bother me anymore though; I've been on the internet for a while now. One thing that bothers me is when I use an apostrophe in a pluralization. I haven't forgotten my grammar, but the bad is contagious.

For those of you hating on grammar nazis, I say get over it. There is a serious lack of accountability in this world. If we aren't allowed to correct peoples' mistakes, then those people will just continue do things the wrong way. If that is allowed to happen, this world will quickly become even more of the rotting cesspool it has nearly already become. Generations later, all of humanity will just be a bunch of drooling idiots.

What's the difference between text speak and internet 4chan chat moron lolcat speak?

[Chonar]

What's the difference between text speak and internet 4chan chat moron lolcat speak?

The latter is far more referential and memetic, while the former is more about abbreviations and saving time/character space.

[Takeyourmeds]

"Plz" instead of Please.. Oh god that drives me insane.

[Deleted]

As others have said, mine is probably also inscriptionist. But seeing people use "alot" and wrong usage of your/you're is a close second.

And their / there / they're.

/shudder

Thx and dudu,those two seems most annoying.

[Vulpei]

People spelling colour and armour without the u.

I'll second that.

The same with "imo".

Trade: M8Z WARE DO I GO AT 60???
Trade: outland imo

It's not an opinion :P

[Terridon]

My english could definitely be better, but i still have some pet peeves as a good hypocrite(Being too lazy to write with capitalized letter is among my bad habits).
Germans writing "gn8" instead of good night.
How is that even supposed to remotely sound like good night?

Real life losers writing "get a life looser" >.<

Edit:
I'm btw using "plox", when i address somebody that do somebody that annoys me by being stupid. I guess i hope baby language works.
"plox don't heal yourself oom in fire"

This so much. Even worse is when people add that "xD" smiley to everything. BURN IT WITH FIRE!

[MerinPally]

I seem to only see people who consider themselves to be all high and mighty with no backing, or pvpers who think they are God's gift say this, but those who describe everything as "cute"

"Oh you tried but failed at killing that person? Cute."

"You're having an argument in general? You guys are cute."

"Trying to play a new spec or just practicing and underperforming? You're so cute."

Honestly I want to pick up a nail gun and go at the heads of everyone who uses that as a descriptive word for everything. Not a spelling mistake as such but a way of speaking that I wish to crush.

[Goldfingaz]

Out of thread parameters but when you are a guest in someones vent and people keep saying melee as 'me' 'lee' instead of 'may' 'lay', makes me want to rage all up in their faces for it.

When people start spelling it with the proper accents I'll pronounce it that way and not a day sooner. Melee is pronounced Mee-Lee. mêlée is mell-ay.

Not on-topic but I hate when people complain about pronunciation when they are using a bastardized version of the word. "Say it this way!" "Well then, write it properly!"

OT: Enchancement Shaman drives me absolutely mad.
