[Guest countryboywny]

So which one is intended when the younger generation texts: "UR shit?"

So which one is intended when the younger generation texts: "UR shit?"

 

I think that translates to "you are shit"

ahahah

So which one is intended when the younger generation texts: "UR shit?"

 

I don't know about anyone else, and maybe because it's that I learned touch typing on a MANUAL typewriter,

but it takes a WHOLE LOT OF CONCENTRATION for my to type "M gd. How R U?" "I'm good, how are you?" is

so much easier, at least on a typewriter. Must be those new contraptions with the little keys, that I can only use

with one finger.

[Steven_Draker]

Ahem!

[rvwnsd]

Love it!

[maxwellissmart]

UR = you are/you're

ur = your

 

As in: "UR going 2 stick ur cock in my mouth."

I also learned touch typing and find it is quicker to type out the words.

Max - thanks for the tutorial. I did not realize there was a difference.

Max - can u give me lessons on txting?

[justaguy]

Context is everything in texting. In this case, if two folks are talking about having to take another class on Shakespeare UR shit could be a reference to that class: I have to take another class in yore shit.

[+ Tygerscent]

Oh... I think that's, "knowing yer shit" VS "knowing ur shit"~

So this thread supports one reason why I prefer not to hire an escort via text. I'm not opposed to text messaging to indicate that one of us is running late or arrived in the lobby, but I ignore the ads that indicate they prefer contact via text.

I like this and wish the men who write on the various blogs would use the correct one. Apparently these men failed to learn that one is a contraction and when to use

it and the other is possessive. I cringe when I see adults miswriting these basic words!

 

I thank you for posting this; it can bring smiles as well as thoughts to one's "big" head!

just wait...in a few years, we wont have to use keyboards anymore. Siri and the likes will take care of our grammar and spelling for us...wonder how that will work out?

[doitb4ugo]

All living languages adapt to their users. English, like any other modern language will become what its users want it to be..no arbitrary grammar codes or rules will stop or unduly hinder this process. The evolution will continue at an increasingly faster pace due to the technology used to spread the change. Grammar police will find this alarming and unfortunate but will be powerless to halt the slide.

I think it might be my sibilant "s", but electronic devices never respond well to my voice. On the telephone, I almost always get referred to A Real Person.

 

I hope Siri and I have a better relationship.

I use "u r" for both "you are" and for "you're"

and "ur" for "your". Seems straightforward enough.

 

Touch typing abiities are irrelevant when texting from a tiny or incomplete keypad.

I think abbreviations to save hunt n peck time or to fit the message length are perfectly reasonable as

long as they are thought out and fairly unambiguous at least in context.

Raul, for me this issue isn't the speed of mechanically typing on the smaller keypad of my iPhone. When I want to use "you are" in a text message, I think "y-o-u-space-a-r-e" rather than a the shorter "u r."

 

About the only short hand that I use is "LOL" as the full phrase was never part of my vocabulary before it became common in 'short hand.'

[Guest joeburger]

that's hysterical

My phone has only a number keypad and so I have to think a lot to use it hit each key a couple times to get the right letter.

 

Plus I think faster than I type even though I do touch type. So as fast as I can think or type "Y o u ' r e" I can also translate it on the go to "u r" as quickly and other times

I actually type out the whole proper spelling but then go back and shorten it to "u r" so it fits in a text message length because a single text short concise text can be so much easier to read on a small phone, especially while on the go, and one doesn't have to worry about them being split and delivered out of sequence etc.

 

But speaking of LOL, call me a curmudgeon but I'm weary of that phrase. Of course I've been typing and reading computer text since I was a wee kid in the usenet days.

People use it excessively and as a replacement for so much more than Laughing Out Loud. Like what is wrong with saying:

uhuh, or ha!, or OK, or no!, really?, hee, BS or any of the other old fashioned phrases? Many of which LOL doesn't even seem to really fit.
