It is common for people to use abbreviations because it is faster, abbreviations such as SIL, MIL, DH and words like "prolly". In person or on the telephone I doubt that people use these words. It is common here, though. Maybe we do not type as fast as you do. To proclaim this is a power play is a bit much, IMO (heh, there is another one). I am not saying you are wrong, I just do not see it the way you do. When you visit Brazil the people speak Portuguese, when you go to France they speak French. When you chat on usenet, you will encounter the lingo. You deal with it. In your letter which I snipped, you used these words: there's, I'll, I'm, you're, that's, I'm, won't, I'll, I'll, I'm, won't, that's. You used a dozen abbreivations. Are you telling us that you are lazy since you abbreviated these words? Is this a power play on your part? Should I killfile you, as you suggested? I do not want to do that, you sound bright and I think you could teach me something, although we may not always agree on everything. Becca |
OT: To "prolly" or not...
Why do I use standard accepted abbreviations? Laziness is one
possibility. Power play is another. What are other possibilities based on my previous posts in this thread? Perhaps a desire to type in a way that makes it easiest for the reader to understand? Perhaps being willing to go halfway in the name of communication? You may killfile me if you like. If you find that the way I post is so obnoxiously difficult to read that it simply isn't worth it, by all means, go ahead and killfile. That's what I'd do. I wouldn't even mention it. I'd just do it quietly, and that person's posts would disappear. The person wouldn't even know that I wasn't seeing his or her posts, wouldn't be able to distinguish the reason I wasn't answering from just not knowing the answer or not having anything to say. If, however, you think my posts have some merit that makes them worth the trouble of reading, then leave me out of your killfile. You're not in mine. I'll draw your attention to another post of mine in this thread. I'll quote: 6. Original poster says that while some excuses for obnoxious communications are acceptable, other messages are simply too hard to be bothered with. Repeat offenders are killfiled. 7. Errors are found in the messages written by those who purport to support good spelling and good grammar. Those people are now dubbed pompous. 8. All hell breaks loose with accusations flying. "If you want me to read your messages, write them so I can read them." "Don't be so mean to poor arthritic poster who's typing the best she can." "Pompous!" "Asshole!" (The original and whole thing were posted on 11/28/2003 at 6:23p if you want to google for it.) Meanwhile, thanks for the compliment. I think I could learn a lot from you too. --Lia Becca wrote: > In your letter which I snipped, you used these words: there's, I'll, > I'm, you're, that's, I'm, won't, I'll, I'll, I'm, won't, that's.

Excellent allegory. As for the use of acronyms, common in Usenet, once upon a time, it was considered *polite* to use acronyms, as they conserved band width. Most of us who have been around Usenet - in one form or another - for (me) the last 15 or something years, got used to using acronyms and emoticons early and the habit stuck.

> Lia, that is one of the more thoughtful arguments I've ever read in > support of Netiquette. Excellent allegory. Thanks. The funny thing about it is that every time I've posted something like it, someone has zeroed in on the part about how I killfile people who post in a way that is way too hard to read and concluded that I killfile for occasional misspellings or the odd grammar error. I don't. Those are easily dealt with. Those are the result of someone going half way and letting me go the other half. I only killfile when someone's post has to be decoded to put it into English. And then, as I said earlier in this thread, all hell breaks loose. It is as though it is my responsibility to do the decoding. If I'm not willing to decode, I'm being mean. (By analogy, I have a friend who is wonderfully generous. I'm always welcome in her home. She drives when we go out together. Her house is always clean and welcoming, and she's good to talk to, filled with insight and tact and good stories, plainly a good friend. The only thing she doesn't do is cook. When we get together, whether it is for a picnic or for dinner or a few snacks when we're going somewhere, I do the cooking. When we eat at her house, I bring the food and she supplies the dishes for us to eat off of. As far as I'm concerned, she's going halfway to be a good friend, and I go the other half. If I knew someone who did nothing and expected me to cook too, I'd object.) > The exception being ROTFLGMBLMAOASTC, of course.
