[WildMoon]

I intentionally skipped number 14.

I was going to have a joke about that, but I forgot it...oh well.

Since you're in India I not really surprised you've never heard of Mary Poppins.

Also nice to see someone thinks my frigerator running joke is funny.

From what I can tell, pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis means:
pneu = I forgot, I know it, but I forgot it.
mono = one
ultra - micro - scopic = very small
silico = silicon
volcano = mountain that blows up and spews lava everywhere
conio = umm...uhhh...dunno
sis = process

ok ummm...is it something like some single-celled silicon based microscopic organisms in volcanoes doing something?

Ok, what does it mean?

Actualy I have wanted to have some of those people, 'removed'. There is a time and place for everything, throwing your socials notes you jsut wrote at other people in class while the teacher is talknig just to prove what a stupid f***ing pothead you are isn't it.

Where's 14?

15. Do you have any pets?
Yes, a 14 year old lazy female (spaded) cat named Spunky (wich is an apt name even though i named her when I was 2). A pecostamus named Pepper, I didn't know they lived for 7+ years. I also have a rabbit named Doris who i am currentely hoping to give away soon, due to certain events I decided not to keep her.

16. Lastly, do you have any fuuny stories to tell about things that have happened to you?
Lots, but none I can think of right now.

[WildMoon]

Like I said earlier I intentionally left out #14.

I don't write notes on the paper balls actually. Look I'll tell the story, just take note I have ADHD and take medication before I goto school.

Ok, one day at school I was sitting in a group with my friends Caleb and Aston doing some work on our laptops (school owned ones). Caleb said he was feeling mad that day for some reason. So I just said "Would it make you happier if I threw a paper ball at Aston?" and Aston goes, "If you throw a paper ball at me I'm gonna eat you." Then Caleb says, "I don't know...I do have this really hard one..." and he pulls it out hands it to me and I throw it at ASton, hitting him right in the forehead. He looks over the laptop lid and stares at me with a funny look then grabs the paper ball throws it at me and misses. At that point, I get hyperactive (if something happens that is really funny my hyperactivity "overrides" my medication) and the "Paper Ball Wars" begin...then ended...'cept now Caleb keeps whackin' me on the head so I'm still throwing them at him sometimes (though I think my aim is getting bad now for some reason).

[Smacklug]

If you ever use leetspeak again I swear I will burn down your house.

[WildMoon]

Wow, I see you REALLY hate leet. How come you hate it so much?

Besides I almost never use it. Easier to type normally.

[Malenfant]

Wow, I see you REALLY hate leet. How come you hate it so much?

Well I hate it because it's a plague on literacy. So many people just can't be bothered to spell properly because they think it's cool to talk in numbers or as if they're paying by the word as if they were typing a text message on a cellphone, so you see 'r u coming' or 'cu l8r' or some such garbage.

And all the while I see people with college educations talking online, and more often than not their spelling and grammar are worse than those of 10 year olds. It's ridiculous.

[WildMoon]

I don't see why people would spell like that though.

You have to pay by the word on cell phone text messaging? Sounds like a rip off and that just talking would be a better deal. You could text message on the computer all the heck you want for free.

[Malenfant]

I don't see why people would spell like that though.

I don't either. Yet they do. Take a look on the forums for some of the big computer games (eg World of Warcraft) and see how bad it is.

You used to have to pay for it by the word at first IIRC (bear in mind this was in the UK. In Europe we seem to be way ahead of North America in terms of adopting technologies - we had text messaging for several years before it came to America. Same with front-loading washing machines - we've had those for decades yet they're still treated like something amazingly novel in America. The US really is not on the forefront of technology).

Now I think about it though, IIRC the reason these stupid abbreviations started was that you had a 150 character limit per message, and typing something out was really awkward because you have to hit each button on the phone a certain number of times to cycle through to the right character you wanted. So to avoid doing that, I think this abbreviated language evolved.

Now though it seems to have taken a life of its own and moved beyond that. Now, it seems that people just can't be bothered with any kind of punctuation, grammar or spelling at all. I've seen plenty of forum posts where people don't even use capital letters or commas or even full stops or paragraphs, that are damn near impossible to read. And if people can't be bothered to go to the effort of making their posts legible then I sure as hell can't be bothered to read them.

Japan is the forefront of technology. and stupid cartoons.

[Malenfant]

Japan is the forefront of technology. and stupid cartoons.

Actually, Japan churns out a mixed bag of anime - on one hand they produce the most intelligent cartoons around (Serial Experiments Lain, or the Ghost in the Shell movies and series, for example). On the other hand they do also churn out some that aren't so much "stupid" as just plain incomprehensible (and I don't mean because of the language. I just don't understand what the heck is going on in them) - though most of those ones are there to support toy lines like Beyblade or Yu-Gi-Oh or something.

Plus the more mature japanese cartoons you usually see on TV are either hacked to bits for the american audience (because western TV executives still think that cartoons are only for kids) or horribly dubbed into English.

[selden]

In the past year or so Disney helped get released on DVD in the U.S. several feature length anime movies which had been produced by Studio Ghibli and Hayao Miyazaki. The ones I've seen are all excellent. Although I don't understand Japanese, as best I can tell the dubbing on the English sound track is excellent.

The english dubbing of anime released in cinema tend to be better... ISTR Princess Monoke had some big name actors (Minnie Driver and Gillian Anderson I think?). And Spirited Away's dubbing was pretty good too.

But for series it ranges from just about bearable to utterly terrible. The 'serious' anime series tend to have the same voice actors for each studio, and most of the time they really can't capture emotion to save their lives. And for the kids anime (ie toy tie-ins) they just don't bother at all, but then the standards are lower there because kids don't mind so much .

The sub(title) vs dub debate is one that rages perpetually among anime fans - I'm a sub fan myself, I'd rather hear the original japanese voice actors and read the english subtitles.
