I mean, Sk8ter Boi? Really? NUMBERS DON'T BELONG IN THE MIDDLE OF WORDS.
Oh yeah, if I manage to spell any of the words in this thread incorrectly I really don't want to hear how ironic it is, ok?

Yes i hate 5ive, because really that word is fiveive and there is nothing choice about that.

Also, it shouldn't even be sk8ter, because the t is redundant.
people are dumb.

people are dumb.

Exactly.

Just like Backch@t or pin number or any of that. But that's beside the point. People who write in text message writing all the time also suck. i guess 1337 hax0rs like us really can't complain though. kill yr boyfriend!

I don't get "boi"! What's wrong with Ys?? Why is there a need to spell it differently? What's the point?

Womyn

b-b-but Elisabeth, if there can be grrrls or gurls, we b01z need something to strike a blow as the masculine hegemony too!

also is it urgent & key that I write the 1337speak equivalent to Finnegan's Wake.

― Ess Kay (esskay), Monday, 23 September 2002 20:17 (twenty-three years ago)

but yeah, that t is redundant.

Titles and businesses that use @ in their name as a 'wacky' alternative to the letter A must be SHOT!

Didn't Mike Hosking present Backch@t for a while? Shoot him if you like. I BET it was his idea.

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Tuesday, 24 September 2002 00:08 (twenty-three years ago)

nono Backch@t (or Backchat-t) predated that awful man's TV career. it was Ralston to blame for that one.

― hamish (hamish), Tuesday, 24 September 2002 06:52 (twenty-three years ago)

oh I think I mean Sunday... maybe... shoot him anyway.

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Tuesday, 24 September 2002 06:54 (twenty-three years ago)

okey dokey. can you do it? you'vr got easier access to him.

― hamish (hamish), Tuesday, 24 September 2002 06:57 (twenty-three years ago)

There is nothing worse than womyn. No one respects spelling these days.

― Elisabeth (Elisabeth), Tuesday, 24 September 2002 07:09 (twenty-three years ago)

Hamish I'll get Mike if you get yr cousin.

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Tuesday, 24 September 2002 07:11 (twenty-three years ago)

okey dokey.

― hamish (hamish), Tuesday, 24 September 2002 07:17 (twenty-three years ago)

i think Sun Ra should be giving a dispensation for a lifetime of using the word "arkestra".

― hamish (hamish), Tuesday, 24 September 2002 07:17 (twenty-three years ago)

He had a point, though, right? Most of these people really don't. @=internet! Hip and cool!

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Tuesday, 24 September 2002 07:27 (twenty-three years ago)

its kind of funny how much influence a group of Unix geeks have had on late 90s design.

― hamish (hamish), Tuesday, 24 September 2002 07:40 (twenty-three years ago)

Yeah but there are like, hairdressers and stuff w @s in their name now! I saw some [not-internet-specific] marketing book in the 'tech library that had a @ instead of an A on the cover and on the inside title-y bit and nearly choked. JUST CAUSE IT'S HIP DOESN'T MEAN YOU HAVE TO DO IT! this also goes for those infernal [email protected] bumper stickers - you DON'T PUT WWW IN AN EMAIL ADDRESS, DUMB-NUTS! GET OFF THE FUCKING BANDWAGON!

― petra jane (petra jane), Tuesday, 24 September 2002 08:18 (twenty-three years ago)

Yeah everyone's on the "fucking" bandwagon too, good point.
