How We Have Twisted Written English by Fredzy7(m): 11:37pm On Jul 05, 2015 |
I was reading a thread not long ago and I saw what someone wrote that caught my attention and every thread I read I saw it, it was the way we have intentionally and painstakingly twisted the English language Why write "yhu" when you can write "you" Why write kk when you can write OK it is not as if the letter O and the letter K are far from each other (you just checked) Why say sowie when you can say sorry (talk about doing the wrong thing at all cost since it practically takes about two seconds less to type the right thing) Why type mtchew to show you don't like something when you could just hiss and keep scrolling down A lot of people think it makes you look cool and blah.....very cuun wi weell bi tiyping lieke dis I personally don't do it but it is everywhere What others have you noticed http://naijawords.cf/Thread-how-we-have-twisted-written-English |

You should read how common Londoners write on their forums. What you call "painstakingly twisted" cannot be compared with the common English man. so Abeg take it easy, it's not that deep |

That term did get you to want to see what the thread is about didn't it, exactly the point the op is trying to make as he painstakingly twisted the English grammar while talking about painstakingly twisting the English spelling oh I love the English language |
