Which abbreviations annoy you?

Featured Replies

Ben, you've listed every single abbreviation there is online. You seriously have problems..

 

 

 

You're such an angry person, is your own self esteem so low that you need to insult everyone? :S You're like this in loads of threads and its annoying..

 

 

 

Although i use a few i dont like extensive use of "y" on the end of anything, i see "bezzy ring" - bezerker ring, or Nezzy helm - neitiznot, i mean how lazy do you need to be :P

sup, skimmy, all those that end in y except addy like fally, lumby, lobby, swordy

 

Same with me except I don't like fally, lumby, lobby, or swordfish either.

Signatures are useless. That's why I have one.

Average level 49.13 going for 50!

Maybe if Jagex gave us more then 50 character's per line, we could actually type out a whole sentence. Jagex is the reason we have all these abbreviations.

 

 

 

The only one's that annoy me are the ones that are just as long, hardly longer, and use for begging.

 

 

 

(plx, plz, pl0x) I also don't like when people put letter's in wrong places and sound like a 10 year olds. Hey, do yu no were I cen git rune pl8?

I think part of this as well is that people who own cell phones and text message people carry over the slang from there. Sometimes it's easier to intentionally misspell something for the purpose of speed. For example, you have to a word with the two consecutive letters on the same key, so you just substitute another letter for the either for sake of time.

 

I see this in other people's text messages.. I hate doing that. I'm not one to use abbreviations much, so even when I text message people, I spell everything out and use proper punctuation. That's just a thing.. meh, I'm weird.

-noob (it has no meaning really)

 

It does have a meaning. It refers mostly to an immature player, though it is often abused by people calling other lower-leveled, poor, less knowledgable players' noobs.

 

And I also find it annoying...

Haha I'm with zaquierming on this one. Each and every one of them annoys me!

 

 

 

I honestly can't stand people who use stupid three letter words and whatnot. Just take the extra .3524 seconds and add the other 2 letters to the word.

Most abbreviations drive me insane. It's bad form and once you get in the habit it translates to other writing endeavors non-runescape related. Being a writer in real life, I'm a bit obsessive when it comes to spelling and grammar. I think all the text messaging devices are helping contribute to a generation of grammar illiterates.

 

 

 

Yes. I do use some abbreviations like 'ty' or 'tyvm' because when trading (or whatever) I like to say thank you before the person walks away. At one point I used 'ppl' for people, but stopped as I found myself doing it by habit outside of Runescape.

 

 

 

I do use 'lol', but I've been using that since... oh.... hm... late '80s.

 

 

 

Wildy is not an abbreviation, it's a nickname. There's a difference between nicknames and abbreviations. Such as using the name Andy for Andrew. This goes for Lumby, Fally, Cammy etc...

 

 

 

-Kaylivel

 

 

 

P.S. I can understand why people would use abbreviations. Some don't type quickly and they'd be at it all day if it weren't for shortcuts. Still... I have my opinion on the subject.

Soz (I have no idea how that means sorry), wat (leaving out the h makes it sound a lot different), tbh, m8 (I am not Australian so don't call me your mate). Those are mostly the ones that annoy me.

Wildy. Is there some sort of point behind that 'Y?'

hatewn1.png

"WOT" AND "WUT"

 

Oops caps

Doomy edit: I like sheep

I wouldn't say I hate any of them.

 

 

 

I just think the ones where people add an extra 'y' to the end of the abbreviation are lame.

 

 

 

wildy, ardy, addy...

 

 

 

 

 

...seriously, where did that 'y' come from?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wildy. Is there some sort of point behind that 'Y?'

 

Exactly

I've never seen Sixth Sense nor Inception nor many other popular movies and I intend to keep it that way.

What does "tbh" mean? :roll:

lol the abbreviation is actually longer than the real word. :-k

Staurolite.png

Most definitely 'plz' and 'noob'. So overused. Oh and after having a bad day and coming online to calm your nerves, the last thing you want to hear is some lame accusation / sick statement, only to see the next word being 'jk lol'. <.<

"zammy" annoys me a bit.

9 November 2006 - 22 January 2008, when I could no longer stand the painted turd that is the Tip.It community. Only posting in rants.

MY pet hate is leetspeak. I cannot see the point of it. Anyone trying to use that when talking to me gets ignored.

 

 

 

I also agrre with a previous writer that the majoritory of the abbrevuations come from the younger generations use of texting eg m8, gr8, txt, u, wat. ty etc. etc. Mind you in a few years time some of these will probably be recognised a legitimate English words by the Oxford English Dictionary (some are already contenders).
