Is it just me?

[Darlios]

Well I'm 18 and i usually type out in full letters in text messeges except for some words (such as before and the word messeges... and the word people).

Half the time i don't know what half of the people are on about and i'm meant to be part of their generation or whatever. Although i think people have some issues with how i phrase things... i think.

But seriously if he's doing a sale he should be formal... wouldn't trust half the text talking gibberish fobs that sell things on trademe or anywhere else...

[Lias]

look at the lexicon of the internet and gaming.. It's not just kids, adults have eben butchering the english language for years.

Hell look at our own KB jargon?

Just some follow up on the email I received from the chap selling the DR350......I decided I wanted to pursue the DR, despite the guys laxed use of english, and see if I could have some fun along the way.

Good afternoon, I emailed you a couple of days ago regarding the Suzuki DR350 you had advertised, and got something of a confusing reply. I was keen to know if there was someone at this email address, whom I could get some detailed information about the bike from.
I was keen to find out:
Tyre condition.
Sprocket and chain condition.
General engine condition, specifically, any nasty rattles/clunks.
Any major cracks/splits in bodywork/plastics.
Thanks very much

Da tyrs are swoit now splits only bout 2 moths old da xhorst is not da won dat came wif da bike its a specil
ngin is fking preemo wil take a WR4 hundy ez

Ok, perhaps my original email was a little unclear, I have $4500.00 to spend on a Motocross bike, and would like to speak with the person at this address who can both speak english, and tell me about the bike. I have run a spell checker over your first two email replies, and the results were inconclusive to say the least.
Please let me know if there is an English speaking person there.
Thanks alot
Dale

I dont think your email woz very funny pal, have you never sent a txt message in your life or something?. No ned ta get all wiggy bout it.

(kronos) (still knows little if anything about bike yet)
My message was written to see if I could find out some information about the motorcycle, in a language that I was fmailiar with. Do you wish to sell the bike, or educate me on TXT langauge?. The choice is yours, although, I think I am getting less interested on the machine each time you reply.

(guy selling DR)
Fuck mate, yoo serisly need to get laid or something, how big is that carrot up yer ass?.

(kronos)
This ends here dont you think?. I wanted a paragraph or two of info about a bike, which seemed reasonable at the time.
Thanks anyway, but the XR400 I have just seen looks pretty tasty. Good bye

(guy selling DR)
Mate, don't be like that, Im sory I said that shit, I'm really trying to get rid of this thing, and I promise to speak in eglish.

Hmm, what do yall think, buy the DR350 or not?

[cowboyz]

you havae to see the funny side. most amusing thing I have read today. Would be interested to hear if you buy this bike or not.

And for the record. Can someone translate this for me :

Da tyrs are swoit now splits only bout 2 moths old da xhorst is not da won dat came wif da bike its a specil
ngin is fking preemo wil take a WR4 hundy ez


I thought I was not bad at translating TXT but that one is a shocker. Tires are 2 months old with what to the exhaust?

[kro]

I know, it is pretty shocking, I will have another crack at deciphering that tonight, and let you know.

[Storm]

Although I hate it with a passion also, here goes

The tyre are sweet, no splits, only about 2 months old. The exhaust is not the one that came with the bike- its a special engine, is f%$king primo. Will take a WR400 easy

[Oakie]

Ha ha. Loved your replies to him.
What would be realy cool now is for you to go through with the purchase for $4500 then give the the guy a cheque made out to:

" Da dude wid da bike' and made out for "45 hundy"

Teach him about the appropriate use of language.

On the news recently they ran "the fastest texter in aussie",a cocky little prepubescent prick against a morse operator,I think he was the operator on the Titanic.He was old enough to be.
Speed Boy lost of course,and looked real sour for it too
