My Anti Linda Chung thread isn't going that well, lol!
Sorry, I guess I have to really start this thread, I can't take it anymore.
And sorry to any of your if your feel hurt after reading this, oops.

What is a twitter?
Basically, I don't really know who on earth created this word. But it has been circulating quite around different places. I guess some of you guys here should know what is a twitter. A twitter is someone who types like this (on the computer, through via SMS, etc) like this...
Normal way of typing: Hello! How are you today friend?
Twitters' way of typing: Harl0ws! Hhow rr ue tuhhdae frennz?

What does a twitter normally do?
They add extra alphabets behind their word. Using shortforms like example changing 'you' to 'u' isn't that bad. But some go to the extend of adding an 'e' behind or before the letter 'u'. So it would look like this 'eu' or 'ue'. Worse, some twitters even go 'uue' or 'euu'. Another example, some even change the letter 'g' and replace it with a letter 'q'. Like for example, the word 'playing', they would change it to 'playinq'. Can't they respect the letter 'g'? Another case is doubling the letters in a word. Example the word 'eating'. I don't know how amazing twitters can be. They'll change it to 'eatiinqq'. I also can't stand people change 'rocks' to 'rox' or 'sucks' to 'sux'. Another case would be adding the letter(s) 'z' or 'x' or 's' behind a word. Example, the word 'yeah' would be changed to 'yeahz' or 'yeahx' or 'yeahs' by twitters. Some are far worse. They make their sentence completely sick. Why? Just read the following sentences.
Normal way of typing: Would you like to go out for a drink with me?
Twitters way of typing: Wuuld uues lyks tuhhs q0 outts ferrs a driinkk wibbs muiis?
Yeah, I feel terribly irritated when I see that. With all the extra 's'. Of 'cuz, with extras 'z' and 'x' behind are also fairly possible seen by twitters. Sometimes, some twitters would add a '`' behind their words. So it goes, like this 'L0lz! Uue arre jushh sh0 damN funneh`!' It looks horrible, I'm serious.

In my opinion, words and alphabets are so pretty and awesome alone without extra letters and doubling of letters in it. Why can't the twitters just understand? Must they spoil they beauty of the word by adding extra alphabets? No! It totally ruins the whole word. In fact, to me, it wouldn't even be called a word. I'll simply dub it a piece of junk. Words are carelessly misunderstood by these twitters who spoil them so easily. Just adding one single alphabet that is unimportant spoils the whole beauty of the word. I just don't understand. Can't twitters simply stop all the adding of extra alphabets and etc? Even I feel sorry for the words that are constantly being ruined by the horrible twitters. Why do twitters do this? Do they think that they are being very kawaii and lovable to the cyber world by typing like that? No, in my opinion, no, never, even forever.

Thus, I'd like your comments on twitters, please anti them.
Help to change the world from people who ruin the beauty of words.

I hate reading posts by people like that. When I try to read, it "sounds" like they are drunk and they can't talk right. I understand when someone doesn't know English very well and their spelling and grammar isn't quite spot-on, but typing random extra characters adds weird "sounds" for the reader. When I read, I hear the "sound" in my head, and if someone just types plain weird, it "sounds" weird, if that makes sense. I don't expect everyone's English to be as good as mine, since not everyone speaks English as their first language, but please respect the people who try to read your posts!

Yeah, I will! Definitely.
That's why I've tried to make my post a little friendly, haha.
Anyway, I have to agree with you! They sound like they are drunk!
It's good that you've replied, I've been waiting for one for quite long, lol.

I just remembered--if I make any big spelling mistakes around this time of day, it's because it's morning here, and I haven't bothered putting my glasses on yet. Of course, anything should look better than when I type with my nose, which looks like what those twitters are doing.

Yeah! I get what you mean, those ii freaks me out and not to mention words like ZOMG, OHMG, Ohmfg. Like, wtf? For heaven's sake, omg is an abbreviation, what is the h supposed to stand for :wacko: You either type oh my god or omg, not both thank you very much. Oh yeah, on this note. I can't stand tqvm too. What does the q stand for? God. Like what you said, those people should learn how to respect the letter "y".

And dude, I go crazy when people who are ANTI these words do the same thing themselves. Is it because those people who do these stuff don't actually realize it? :hmm: I guess we'll never know...

So yeah! Anti Twitters all the way!

It seems like everyone had this phase before.. But luckily I hated twitting the moment I saw it.

They add a extra "r" to words like dot and got so it becomes dort and gort =.=

Oh well. I think more and more people hates twitting now. xD

I often saw this type of twitters in some web i go. It's pretty annoying, i can say. But now, i dont think people use this anymore, coz i saw less and less twitters nowadays, people usually use normal writings now, which what i see.
