I can't stand when people insert numbers in the middle of words so it's this odd bastardization of numbers and letters. For example, the TV show Numb3rs. Yeah I get it, the 3 is a backwards E but it just looks stupid. The literal pronunciation would be "NumbThreeRs". In my local paper that were talking about 5 hot trends for 2007 and they spelled it "5ive". This doesn't even make any sense because a "5" doesn't look like an "F" so this would actually be pronounced "Five-ive". What the hell is up with this and when will we go back to normal spelling.
 Are you a linguist?? They are the only ones I know that have issues like this  "be glad that you are free, many a man is not" | |

Yeah, I guess I can decipher Prince-speak more because I've seen it more often. But I still hate it. I don't even know what MMO is an acronym for, so l33t is like Greek to me. I guess I'm just too old and unhip.  MMO = Massively multiplayer Online. Like, MMORPG games are Massively multiplayer Online Role Playing Games, like Everquest or World Of Warcraft. | |
