Oh...and I'm just having fun. ;)
Nothing I said was directed at you. I am sorry that you took it personally. I DO take offense and hold in contempt that things like this seem to be creating an entire generation of idiots. SEEM to be...not ARE. MY opinion as a business owner who cannot find anyone who can handle even the most menial of tasks who carry this phenomenon into every day real life.
Again, I'm sorry I got your panties in a bunch. Carry on. I'll avert my eyes.

Re: The Forums: Summary via LOTROcat
Language is an evolving thing. Caelven put a quote in there from Alexander Gill, stressing Chaucers use of French.. I now, as an example, give you a bit of Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales":
Whilom, as olde stories tellen us,
Ther was a duc that highte Theseus;
Of Atthenes he was lord and governour,
And in his tyme swich a conquerour,
That gretter was ther noon under the sonne.
Ful many a riche contree hadde he wonne,
What with his wysdom and his chivalrie;
He conquered al the regne of Femenye,
That whilom was ycleped Scithia,
And weddede the queene Ypolita,
And broghte hir hoom with hym in his contree,
With muchel glorie and greet solempnytee,
And eek hir yonge suster Emelye.
And thus with victorie and with melodye
Lete I this noble duc to Atthenes ryde,
And al his hoost, in armes hym bisyde.
I like that passage. Its one of my favorites.
Mebbe we should have LOTROMEcats ???

May I extrapolate here, that the fact things are misspelled is what makes it funny, and if it was not funny no one would read it? If others had not read it, laughed and asked for more, then you good sir would not have read it either. Therefore, you would not have had the chance to appreciate my ability to use proper grammar and punctuation. As a result, this thread would have even less meaning than it does currently. Now that I have got all that off my chest I will continue with the purpose of this thread, making people laugh (or at least smile). Unfortunately, your posts did not do either for me...

<snip>
I found Taoteron's remarks to be little more than an agenda driven rant, out of place and absurd given the context of the thread. Had anything in this thread been a serious attempt to communicate complicated ideas or make a case for anything important, a criticism of prose may have been warranted. Complaining that cats -- who, last I checked, are not native English speakers -- are using "kitteh pidgin," and not proper English, is as ludicrous as it would be for someone to object to the idea that kittens could use computers. The kitteh-speak, like their expertise in a computer game, is part of the humor, and it is, itself, actually poking fun at the language errors. That makes the link to the Ebonics issue (a valid point in a different context) truly silly.
That said, I cannot agree with the above, either. It suggests that those who view the rules of language as important are mere "posers" who do not really understand. False reliance on the rules (or reliance on urban-myth kind of rules) can, indeed, produce ludicrous results. For instance, someone once criticized Churchill for using prepositions at the end of a sentence, and he is reported to have replied that this was the kind of criticism "up with which I will not put." On the other hand, just because the language actually does allow prepositions at the end of a sentence does not mean that a dangling preposition is not a grammatical error. There are instances where it creates confusion. So suggesting that people who point to the rules simply do not understand is ludicrous.
Rules help clarify communications. Take for instance your third sentence above. You have an introductory conditional clause modifying the verb later in the sentence. Punctuation rules require a comma between "rules" and "they" so that people pause and know that "rules" ends the condition and "they" begins the main thought. The missing comma forces them to needlessly reread the sentence to determine what you are saying. The same can be said of your first sentence because it is missing a period or a conjunction in the middle; thus, you are not really sure if "in fact" is modifying the first part of the sentence or the second (or more accurately, with the first sentence or the sentence that runs-on with the first because of a punctuation error).
Please understand, these are not personal criticisms. We all write fast in this format, and we all make mistakes we may not normally make. For instance, Melissaissim could have separated her well thought-out defence of her literacy into one or two more paragraphs, and Taoteron’s post complaining that the lack of punctuation (among other things) makes things hard to understand contained missing punctuation. I am even fairly certain that, despite my careful attempt to avoid it, there will be errors in this reply. Mistakes happen. However, to suggest that the rules are little more than recommendations and that pointing them out is indicative of a lack of understanding is a bit silly as well. Taoteron's remarks were out of line because they failed to take into account the context of the thread. However, so is the apparent suggestion that rules do not matter. They are there for a reason.
In fact, that is the one thing I would remind people making the humorous posts here. You are already butchering language (for a reason). While that makes for good humor, you do have to take care not to mangle the words so much that people cannot determine what word is being mangled. I say this because there have been a few posts that I have had to reread a few times just to figure out what the real word was, and there is probably at least one post I never did figure out. A comedian once quipped to his audience, "Listen folks, it's no good if I have to explain these [jokes]." The same advice should be remembered here. You understand what words you are intentionally misspelling. Your audience, however, does not necessarily know where you are going with the joke. That means that they may need the words to understand the context, which they may not be able to determine without the context to decipher the words. So keep up the good work, but take care not to forget that you are still communicating, so don’t take a good thing too far.
Sorry for hijacking the thread with this and for the length of the reply. This thread is delightful, and it should not have to be marred by debates about language. So I will keep my opinions to myself hereafter.

Re: The Forums: Summary via LOTROcat
OK....
I have no agenda. Simply put, I came in here, was very confused as this was the first time I'd seen anything of this nature and after reading all of the posts I understood why I see things like 'teh' and 'skoolz' on job applications. In a light way, with my cat as a scapegoat, (I do understand that cats cannot type, nor do they speak English very well) I tried to explain that maybe, sometimes, people cannot see past themselves and that certain little 'fun' things can sometimes leak into the culture of our society and have results that are less than favorable.
I am not an English Nazi. I own a collection of books that are older that The United States. I understand that the language evolves. I am not an English major. Sometimes my speeling is atroshus.
I was simply trying to make light out of a situation which concerned me at first glance and attempted to show it from another viewpoint that other may have not, nor ever have, seen as we are sometimes blind to things outside of what is within our pleasure zone, and accountability in our society has become nil.
I should have known better.
Please, do not expend any more energy diverting this post away from it's original intent. I made a mistake in speaking what I felt and the thread should not have to suffer for it.
I bid you adieu so that I may go tell another dozen people dat dey r umemployablz.

I basically agree with you about the general lack of proper grammar, good diction, etc., particularly in the professional and academic worlds.
Sometimes you have to pick your battles. A hiring seminar might be a good venue to pitch the cause. A light-hearted thread in a gaming community forum...not so much. Just something to think on.

The spelling and grammar here is entirely ironic. We're making fun of the decline of language possibly. The language skills of the cats are supposed to be even worse than most vile case of mobile phone texting internet-raised leet-speaker out there. It shouldn't be hard to distinguish those who speak this way as a joke and those who do it naturally (in order to fit in or from skull trauma at an early age). Some players wouldn't see the irony if it showed up on their minimap with mine tracking.
LOTRO is great for having reasonably intelligent talk in chat compared to other games. Though there are exceptions. The other day someone giving advice to a trial account just could not manage to say "you". Everything else he said seemed normal. He even used "uve" which I had never seen before. I was ready to start a rant about it until I realized he was actually helping the other player.

I understand it is cute and fun. Sadly, people are using it in every day life. I love the fact that some teachers are good and smart enough to start failing people in English for writing like this. With no punctuation, question marks thrown wherever they might look pretty, words mixed up, too, two and to confused, and phonetic spelling of everything...I can't understand half of what people say in OOC anymore. And if someone asks me what dat is, I tell them it is Digital Audio Tape. I happen to like English and it pains me to see it being killed by people taking 'fun' seriously.
Besides, it was Norman who begged me to say something in his honor. I won't let him use my PC and he's not old enough to get a job and earn the money for his own.
I feel exactly the same way. And... uhmmmm.... pretending to be mature with "I'm the head of marketing blah blah...". Give me a break. :rolleyes:
It really cracks me up how people associate their positions in life, or "education" as a basis of maturity.
Being stationed in Japan for 4.5 years once upon a time, nothing was funnier than some idiot goober walking up to a Japanese person and say "Excuse. You speaka engrish?", to hear them say (with rolled eyes) "Why yes. Do you?".
This post is not aimed at anyone, so don't take it personally. It is aimed at the concept of this 'TardSpeak... which I fail to see the need to sticky this. If it is fun, then take it where it belongs; Off-Topic.

Looking back through your posts- They are 90% negative. It seems that if everyone doesn't see things your way that they are wrong. So far it's looking like your the only one protesting this thread being stickied.
Do me a favor and go play on the freeway and then protest the vehicle that flattens you to a bloody pulp......while your at it, go to the WoW forums and protest everyone that uses your so-called "tard speak"
Get a life man! there are far greater things to be concerned about than some thread on a forum.

1) It is a Forums summary in a "Kitteh Format" to lighten the mood. So it belongs in the General Discussion
2) You might not have noticed the numbers at the bottum of the page.
The ones that say "Page 1 of 629 1 2 3 4 5 11 51 101 501 > Last ยป"
Click on one of these numbers. Shazam! More threads that intreast you.
So you would not gain more space by taking this thread from us.

to each their own, oh yes please.
but to call other's "disgusting"? why cant u simply post in a more "less-negative manner" regarding the location? by all means, if u dont like the location, complain about it. bring ur theories and evidences to support ur complain. please do. i, personally, have no issue about that, and yes, i even agree to some point that the location may not be the most suitable for this thread.
but, personally, IMHO, its ur "somewhat rude" way of "sugar-coating" ur complaints that irks me..... why did u find it necessary to call it 'disgusting', or 'speaktard', or 'foolish', or anything to the likes of *looking down* others' opinnion? u couldve just say "i dont agree".
thats the issue we have with people these days :( inability to speak their mind without hurting others.

I never said I was mature, just that I was fully capable of using correct grammar and punctuation. :p By not quoting me in context, (or quoting me correctly at all) you are at once referring to me (while claiming not to be aiming your comments at anyone in particular) and twisting the meaning of my statement. I have never and will never claim to be mature. In fact, I suck my thumb. I am doing so now, at work in my huge office with windows facing the call center floor seating about 65 agents. So, neeener neener neener!

Well I am glad your not a moderator then, but I must concede one small point. This thread is supposed to be a summary of the forums in a fun and immature yet harmless way. I have been remiss and a little neglectful of that duty and I will try to be more attentive. I will admit that I have been feeling a little defeated because the content here* is sometimes uninspiring. (edit * here: as in on the forums as a whole)
To each poster that has stuck up for the thread... ::BIG HUG:: I love you guys *sniff sniff*

It really cracks me up how people associate their positions in life, or "education" as a basis of maturity.
Being stationed in Japan for 4.5 years once upon a time, nothing was funnier than some idiot goober walking up to a Japanese person and say "Excuse. You speaka engrish?", to hear them say (with rolled eyes) "Why yes. Do you?".
This post is not aimed at anyone, so don't take it personally. It is aimed at the concept of this 'TardSpeak... which I fail to see the need to sticky this. If it is fun, then take it where it belongs; Off-Topic.
Mods, please move this thread to Off-Topic... as it has absolutely NOTHING to do with LOTRO discussion.
p.s. taoteron - My RL name is Norman also. :D

but, personally, IMHO, its ur "somewhat rude" way of "sugar-coating" ur complaints that irks me..... why did u find it necessary to call it 'disgusting', or 'speaktard', or 'foolish', or anything to the likes of *looking down* others' opinnion? u couldve just say "i dont agree".
thats the issue we have with people these days :( inability to speak their mind without hurting others.
my apologies too for calling u a smartass. i just needed some sugar. now i had lunch. me nao full. :3
The problem is Redbeaver that this man is probably a sad depressed excuse for a human being. He plays MMOs to make him feel macho and then tries to ruin threads so he feels like he is important. He cannot find the humor in this thread because he believes life sucks and thinks everyone should be depressed like him. What he is doing is probably a cry for help that he does not deserve.
Honestly we should all just ignore him because he is getting what he wants, attention. Lets see some more kittehs and have some fun.
Vive LoTROcats!!! :D

And taking direct aimed pot-shots at me like this makes you what then? Eh? Want me to take a shot at "things you probably are"? I certainly don't want to. :p That's bad man. Bad.

I haven't called anyone anything (unlike what's been aimed at myself). Well, except maybe immature... But by disgusting, I meant "the language" being created(?) in this thread.
When someone in-game talks to me like this, makes me want to PK them. :D

i fully understand that ur calling the Language itself "disgusting", not any person in particular.
but maybe im not too clear in my reply: by calling what others find amusing, disgusting... that's almost the same as "calling our opinions disgusting", no? thus my point was, why do u have to call something that alot of people in this forums LOVE (not just like) - which is the language, among the kitty pictures - something like 'disgusting' or 'speaktard'?
i know ur not calling the persons disgusting (tho u feel like u wanna PK them if u found people who talk like that in-game), but ur calling something that "we treasure"... *disgusting*.
personally, thats close enough to call *the person* itself *disgusting*
get it?
so please....... just quitely leave. and to b quite honest, if i ever see you personally in-game, hmmmmmm yeah, if i could, i would personally PK u over n over n over again. just to drive u mad and smack your head to the wall.

Re: The Forums: Summary via LOTROcat
Okay, I think I wanted to head in for now...
I really really find it utterly disguasting when an adult woman talks to me in baby-talk. I find it very very irritating, artificial and pushing way.
However, this thread is not made for such purpose. If cat's can talk in their languages, with their cuteness, game-loving nature, they would be more like that I say... We enjoy them, we love their unexpected poses from a beast.
It's not matter of language, it is matter of fun now. Noone talks like that in their real lives or their writings. I'm not natively English speaking person as you can guess, but if people can understand me, it's fine...
Now Melissa, go ahead and give us more cats!

Re: The Forums: Summary via LOTROcat
Iz nao nessehsary to summerize mah own thread. Teh last few pages haz been beset by teh Normanses. Dis is a nu type of hooman much likes a troll, but differs cuz dese hoomans hate teh lotrokittehs. (while I fink dat teh troll hoomans just hate everbuddy teh same.) Dis make teh kitteh peeps all sad, en a little angers.
Teh kitteh peeps defy teh Normanses who first do not want kittehs to speak dere own language. Dey insist dat kittehs shuld speaked propers englishes en use grammzors en punk-shoe-ations. We wuz ackuzed of beings responsibles for hoomans beings dumb en not maken cents on dere job applicatshuns.
We then wuz ackuzed of having a disgustin language, being un-stiky worthy en teh general forums en being teh reasons dat sum players PK udder players. We is called YOU PEOPLE, en told we iz too sensitives en also judgementil...
En short dis whut happen:
http://img412.imageshack.us/img412/6...nseatedoq8.jpg
Den all teh kitteh peeps makes a buncha meowings en picktures en maked 1 of teh Normanses laugh en so:

Oh, sweet irony. It only makes you wonder what the kittehs would say.

Can't stand cats or can't handle being around them? There's a difference. If you still think they're cute, but just can't get near them due to the allergies, then it's not that you simple can't stand them. It's you can't stand to be AROUND them. :)
