It's funny to see how you can tell what region of the internet someone spends their time in by how they type occasionally. Sort of like an inter-accent. I guess it's kind of a weird thing to just explain out, so here's a few examples:
People who double space their sentences. Like that. - This person is probably over 24ish since they used to teach kids to do that in a lot of schools for formal papers. I didn't even know people did this till I was proofreading something my husband wrote.
/action: This person was/is probably a roleplayer or an mmo guy. Typing /verb basically is like entering a command. Like the infamous /pizza from everquest, which would pull up the website for Pizza Hut to order delivery.
*action*: Used to or still does chat-based roleplaying. Probably kind of a weird person. See also - yahoo chat's Yaoi Catboy Lounge.
/edit to whatever they previously said
//addition to the above statement: Farker. Will probably call you fat. Never ever try to talk to them about politics because even if they agree with you, they'll probably get mad anyway.
makes a considerable effort to type in all lowercase letters. uses absolutely no punctuation except periods but still spells everything out, and pays attention to grammar. - Either lazy in strange ways, or more likely a pretentious social networking douchebag. People like this usually only ever communicate over AIM, Myspace, or anything you can make a profile on and pretend to seem OMG SO DIFFERENT AND DEEP. It's a pathetic attempt at looking like you've got something deeper and probably brooding going on when really, you're just an attention whore. Probably has a font on AIM that's a light color on a dark background.
:emoticon: - Something Awful poster that has lost their way and seemingly forgotten that those codes only work on the forums. Probably obsessed with the website, avoid at all costs.
typse liek this n stuf lol - AOL user and probably under the age of 16. Or is a dumb girl that makes people think myself and other girls who type properly are dudes at first since we're not spamming lol and smileys all over the place. Bitches love smileys.
a/s/l? - Cop. And not a very observant one. No one actually says this anymore, do they? What'd you do to have a cop talking to you over AIM, hmmm? Why don't you take a seat over there.
I love youtube. Not in the way I see the college kids I guard love youtube, giggling insanely at nut shots and videos of people screaming out flavors of muffins in highpitched irritating voices. No no. It has absolutely nothing to do with the videos themselves. I love it for the comments, since I've developed a game called "what the fuck is this person's life like". I'll look at a comment on some informative video or something made by a faceless member of the human race and just try to wrap my head around what this person's life must be like to have their train of thought lead them to the conclusion that "yes, this is worth posting on the internet. My voice should be heard". Only for the bizzare-assed comments like this though:
"Jesusboner" is 'spergin about this video about vaccuums and eggs. No this wasn't a reply to anything, and no I have no idea what is going on here either.
"ya, your right, they do enjoy your ferraris and mansions, thats the only reason they would possibly sleep with you, they sleep with me because they are actually physically attracted to me and are not repulsed by my gross apearance, my four eyes, and my pizzaface. they don't need to use my possesions "
Comment on a pro-McCain propaghanda video:
"John McCain does not want to ban Viagra. He is only emboldening fornicators who disobey G-d's will and have extramarital intercourse. McCain is betraying us evangelicals and I think? we need to stop him."
Some silly, clearly 12 year old girl made a fun little video of a trick you can do to make a teabag fly up when you light it on fire. Cause who the heck didn't like neat little sciencey tricks when they were kids (and even still now)? Hey guys, are you looking at this neat trick I learned in 6th grade science class today? Guys? Hello?
"the only thing i was thinking of? was fucking her, but thats just me... "
"Sweet, Seductive, And Soo wanting to Teach you!
FASTLOVERFUN._COM"
"id tap that Australian bitch"
"ima kill her if i find her..."
"i was hoping that you were gonna get t-bagged by a soaking sweat? wet ball sack right in your mouth, no offense"
"thats so gay? you should kill yourself p.s you got any weed?"
I am now gonna add "ps you got any weed?" to the end of every insult I ever use in real life now, just to throw people off.
"i could kill myself? watching that i was so unset i through shed get t bagged"
"i thought it was the OTHER teabag- experiment xD.. u kno.. up n down, up n down.. mmmm soooooo nice :P"
Well thank god at least someone isn't being a cree-
"u? fkn pervs, im da only one dats gonna do any teabaggin "
Goddamnit.
That wasn't even close to all of them, there's dudes internet-hitting on her at least every other comment. There's even an argument about muslims and people slapfight over christianity while being pedos. This is the pinnacle of what I'm talking about. Youtube comments are hours of endless fuckery if you're bored and like looking at verbal forms of car accidents.
Working the graveyard shift with a laptop has provided me endless things to sigh over, feed my raging misanthropy, and subsequently troll. I have entirely too much time on my hands these nights ps you got any weed?
Love,
Locke
Fun Fact: Clownfish spend the majority of their lives genderless. When more clownfish need to be made, the biggest one turns itself in to a girl, and the second largest makes itself a male. They make babies and go back to being adorable little hermaphrodites and rubbing themselves on sea anemonies.
