what pple derserve in life

   Discussion: what pple derserve in life
all hail queen abby · 20 years, 9 months ago
pple deserve more respect
Annika Back · 20 years, 9 months ago
more than what?
renita Back · 20 years, 9 months ago
I disagree, do people deserve respect? or is respect something that is earned?

Myself, I have sort of a "default level of respect" that applies to people I do not know.

as I get to know people, then they earn a real and proper respect, in my regard.

Respect that isn't earned is next to meaningless. IMNSHO.
danced with Lazlo Back · 20 years, 9 months ago
People, by virtue of their being born, are entitled to respect in the sense that their rights and liberties must be respected.

No one *deserves* respect beyond that until they earn it.
renita Back · 20 years, 9 months ago
that's what i call the "default level of respect"

People deserve cake. If they are good, chocolate cake.
Annika Back · 20 years, 9 months ago
Yes, yes they do. Especially jerk-off's who are allergic to chocolate!
Kris 'engaged' Bedient · 20 years, 9 months ago
who says that people deserve anything? one of my favorite recent rants is how people feel too big of a sense of entitlement.

Rimbo Back · 20 years, 9 months ago
No, no, Pauley.� I think Kris was saying that "pple" deserve Latin.� Right?
Kris 'engaged' Bedient Back · 20 years, 9 months ago
um, yeah, sure that's what I was saying, pple derserve (misspelled according to the forum thread title) Latin. people, on the other hand, do not derserve latin.
Mamalissa! Back · 20 years, 9 months ago
I agree. Cogitat Gella ergo est.
A girl named Becca Back · 20 years, 9 months ago
Does that mean Gella thinks, therefore she is?
danced with Lazlo Back · 20 years, 9 months ago
I think in Latin, therefore I deserve to be smacked.
Annika Back · 20 years, 9 months ago
I say people deserve things. I believe that if you show up to work every day, you deserve your paycheck. If you keep your car tuned up, you deserve to have it work for you. If you don't use protection, you deserve to have std's. etc. etc.
Kris 'engaged' Bedient Back · 20 years, 9 months ago

I say people deserve things. I believe that if you show up to work every day, you deserve your paycheck.

You don't deserve it, you earn it, that's different.

If you keep your car tuned up, you deserve to have it work for you.

You don't deserve it, you work for it by paying for maintenance.

If you don't use protection, you deserve to have std's. etc. etc.

You don't deserve to have STDs, you cause yourself to get STDs by not being careful

Annika Back · 20 years, 9 months ago
Okay.. so you deserve to earn those things. heh
stealthlori Back · 20 years, 9 months ago
*applause*

kris deserves it. both for her anti-entitlement ranting and her apparent mad kissing skilz.

people in general? they deserve what they want to give others.

J. Andrew World · 20 years, 9 months ago
pple is not a word. In a title you shouldn't abreviate. I know I am not one to speak when it comes to spelling or grammer, however, unlike people who use internet speak, I try. I think internet speak has dumbed down America and people who use it deserved to be thwacked!
lawrence Back · 20 years, 9 months ago
agreed, with the possible exception of text messaging, which is where the whole practice of using such abbreviations originated. when you have a limited number of characters available, you sometimes have no choice but to use "r" and "u" instead of "are" and "you."

what I really worry about is if the people who over abbreviate online also extend the practice to writing things by hand.

in 15 years, are people going to start receiving thank you notes for wedding gifts that say "OMG!111 THX 4 TEH CHINA!!!11! IM GLAD U MADE IT 2 R WDDNG!!!!!1!!"?
Rimbo Back · 20 years, 9 months ago
Laughing�out loud.� I sure hope so.
Phoenix Back · 20 years, 9 months ago
Yup. SMS-Speak is really horrible. There was this fun story last year of a Scottish 13 year-old girl�writing and submitting an essay�written in �SMS-Speak to her teacher and almost got suspended.

Enjoy!
Talcott Back · 20 years, 9 months ago
*shrug*
Language changes.

I doubt that the abrev. will make it that far, but I'm sure some of it will, and no one will really care or notice. While I find it annoying, it's no less "pure" than anything else in English is.

So long as people understand it, it serves its function. There is a place/need for a formal form of English, but in the long run, it wouldn't make a difference if the abbreviated speak was the formal form.

J. Andrew World Back · 20 years, 9 months ago

Lawrence,�you are right about IMing on a phone, but when you are face to face with someone they shouldn't say "Tee Tee Why El" or "Oh Em Gee" Which I find annoying.� I so desperatly want to smack them.�

Bruce Rose Back · 20 years, 9 months ago

Didn't Prince start the whole thing years before text messaging?

Talcott Back · 20 years, 9 months ago
How has it dumbed down America?
Granted, it doesn't make people sound(or read) smarter, but what does using "u" instead of "you" have to do with someone's intelegence?
J. Andrew World Back · 20 years, 9 months ago
The next step is arguing it's a language.� Fortunally Scotland is nipping it in the bud (see above post).� Or are you one of those people who 'axe' a question?
Bender Back · 20 years, 9 months ago

from what I understand, and I may be wrong, "axe" was once considered a legitimate alternate pronunciation in the middle ages or something.

correct me if I'm spreading misinformation.

Talcott Back · 20 years, 9 months ago
Well, it could be well on its way to being a kind of dialect.

Threatening to suspend a kid for using text-speak isn't going to put an end to it. Nor would every school system in the world doing the same. If I were the teacher in that case, I would have the kid go back and put it into more formal English, just as I would if they turned it in heavy with slang. That's all it is, another form of slang.

As for the "axe" vs. "ask". Is that somehow worse than "Sir-up" vs. "Sear-up"? There isn't a platonic idea of pronunciation that makes one dialect better than another. More formal, yes, but not better or worse.

Andrea Krause Back · 20 years, 9 months ago
"As for the "axe" vs. "ask". Is that somehow worse than "Sir-up" vs. "Sear-up"?"

In my opinion, yes. Because your example constitutes two different ways to pronounce the "syr" letter construction. Neither of which are invalid on their face. But a-s-k has a sequence of sounds that is put out of order when you pronounce it a-k-s. Pronunciation of a syllable is a liberty I can understand taking. Rearranging of the word's parts in order to affect the pronunciation...not so much. :)
Talcott Back · 20 years, 9 months ago
Hmm.. good point.

Although taken that way, I miss how it's the same (or similar, or related) to the txt-speak.

If I had the time, and background, I'd be curious to track the progression of it and 1337 and see if there are either direct connections, or a similar pattern...
Andrea Krause Back · 20 years, 9 months ago
hehh oh I'm totally not aking a positon on the argument at large, I was just addressing that queston of yours. :) (damn tis keyboard)

I think I tend to be more tolerant of the txt speak when it genuinely is saving keystrokes. there's at least a logic to that. It's when it saves all of one keystroke or none--it's just for cuteness...then it gets on my nerves. Because at that point you have the ability to make the effort to do it correctly, you know?

I also have a higher tolerance for it in more casual speak. I have a coworker who uses it in all her emails, even to the team (incuding our bosses). That just seems to scream laziness and immaturity. Snobby on my part? Probably.
Talcott Back · 20 years, 9 months ago
Actually, it annoys me quite often too, but I don't think it's going to cause the end of language either ;-)
I don't know if it screams laziness in the emails (because, as you pointed out, it sometimes uses more characters), but it does show immaturity (particuarly in a coporate email). In casual usage, I find it annoying, but I don't think it's any worse than any other type of slang. It's just not a kind I like ;-)
iPauley Back · 20 years, 9 months ago

Exactly.

Next customer at work that tries to "ax me something" I'm going to plead for my life and to not get beheaded by an ax.� maybe that'll make'em think about what they're saying. :-P
