Ok, so I played MS again for a while. I noticed how I heard some strange, non-english language in the PQ the other day, example: wat trak? Let me call this short speak.
Now, don’t get me wrong, short speak can indeed be useful. The main (and only) advantage of it is: it’s short. So in hasty PQ ‘ZOMG BONUS!!!111!!!’ times, it can be pretty useful.
But apart from that, it makes no sense to use it. Ever. I think you guys probably are familiar with the ‘CC plz’ thing. This is a great example. It shows that the speaker in fact doesn’t care about anyone enough to enter 3 full words. Sometimes they even forget the plz…sigh, everyone is so rude these days.
What’s even worse: horny MS girls(or guys, you can and will never know) that use short speak. ‘U hav gf?’ This shows exactly how pathetic you are and how little you care about other people when you use short speak all the time. In fact, most of the short speakers start to yell at you when you don’t understand their too short abbreviations. The problem is: they yell in short speak. XD
And so, some of my PQ friends use short speak out of PQ as well. I think it’s stupid. The main cons of using short speak are:
1) You look pathetic.
2) You look like you don’t care about anything.
3) You look like an addict, as you are too busy with killing things to say more than 6 letters.
4) You look like you will never understand any language at all.
5) People don’t understand you. read more
