I'm gonna let off a little extra boost here... :D

When did this crap start, and why?! What does ttt mean? Is it some new Audi that people mention at random?

And bump... bump is just plain annoying. How about 'see original post?' You know, common English and not some acronym that some deciding body said, 'Okay, the old way works just fine, but let's save 10 bytes of data in each post and change it to something cryptic.' I've been almost tempted to reply to some of these posts with more onomonopeia, like qqq Thump! or fff Crash! or ddd Bang!

Oy...

I suppose current culture relies heavily on the degree to which the normal language can be delinated by cryptic sayings, acronyms, and reducing words to as few syllables as possible in some cases. Its just really cool/dope/neat/trick etc. to say it differently and have everyone of your generation or sub culture be just like you. :wink:
The world would be a better place if everyone spoke the same language.
Maybe pig-latin.

Another one... idk for "I don't know." At least "I dunno" works phoenetically!
