HONESTLY! This is why I love TFP...

I love that with the exception of a few Aussies on this board, I can generally understand the posts made on TFP. This isn't true for every other board I read, and I usually end up back here because of that..

Can anyone even translate this? I pride myself on being able to decipher the most l33t of l33t, but this is ridiculous:

A few snippets:

lmao fergies got old he's loseing it and then you got that made yank that owns man u lmao your going down .

Just a quick question were are you from.
Quote:
LMAO dont you mean 44,000+ fans ill tell you what meet me outside the derby on the corner of bank street and ashton new road (Head up ashton new road from the city ground towards clayton and its on the left hand side). Thats predominatly a Manu pub its a about 5 minutes walk from the ground so i can kick your arse and you can then hobble to the ground and watch your team get its arsed kicked aswell.
I REALLY wish they still taught grammar in school..

Here's another good one..

Okie dokes as you all know EA has ****ed a lot of people off including me...*Ahem* (Moving On) *Sparks Smoke*

Ok I got 3 pics but I would be able to show you but admins rules differ so I can't say too much on that.

Ok look at your filters most are checked to about hmmm 7-8 if not all of them. Filters as in battlecommo ranked same version etc.

Select 6 random filters (Doesn't matter wich one) and apply them then update and tell me what you get? Hmmm looks like the servers that won't show up normally...Bravo

Holy **** batman!!! when you check around hmmm 7-8 of the filters it jacks up? Why? Idk don't ask me I just found a fix, Prob being too specific in some way and the filters are getting bugged up.

Doesn't matter what 6 filters you choose it will always show the servers, When you select 7-8 filters it bones you and doesn't show anything...Gay isn't it? Yes it is.

Ok GG owned EA anyone? Programmers are scrambling to figure out wtf is wrong and I do a little clicking and woohoo here we go ownge for EA **** I might as well be on the staff I'm about the same skill level as them *cough*

Anywho theres my 2 cents let me know if this doesn't work and if it doesn't.....Well...Idk your screwed.

Yeah it's more of a slang thing than l33t speak. Just a subculture you/we arn't appart of, it's no surprise we can't understand them too well as you wouldn't expect to understand a different language (even if it's similar like english and spanish).

I also understood it perfectly, but then I'm a regular reader of Irvine Welsh, who makes you sludge through all the slang. Oh, and I follow English football pretty closely, which helped.

The fact that they are Man Utd fans shows that they aren't the most educated people in the world.
I'm English and I still had to concentrate to make heads or tails of it. They must not look at the screen while typing and then just hit 'reply' without seeing what they have actually written

That is pretty bad. Take consolation in the fact that it's on a Battlefield 2 forum...which means that I am killing these guys one by one during my free time.

looks like normal gamer speak... it's like another language. it's fluid (no punctuation at all), spelling doesn't matter, grammar is right-out ignored, and some words h4ve numb3rs 4 l3tt3rs. It's like a cross between 1337-speak and the mindless gibberish and stat-talk the gamers started with, because most of them think they're "teh 1337 h4><0r$" anyway.

Of course, we should also understand that a large percentage of these types of talkers are 14 year olds whose worldly knowledge isn't all that developed to begin with, and this type of fast-paced lazy-typing makes their already poorly-developed grammar and spelling skills worse through the repetitive rape of the language in such conditions.

I'm sure some of you have been around long enough to have had a few "Dungeons & Dragons" buddies who'd prattle on forever about stats and mystical shit you couldn't make sense of, let alone care about... well, this is that for video games and this time period.

Oh, and i'm not a hater, I love video games. I just don't spend 22.5 hours a day gaming like some people do.

Never had problems understanding Aussies, but working and trying to understand a
