chatspeak

chat-talk, chatspeak, chat-whatever.. I don't particularly like it, and so do alot of people.

I guess, I am fine with the standard 'lol' and the variations 'lmao' and 'rofl' with added F for 'lmfao', and then I guess I am fine with the 'gtg' and 'cya' to an extent, as well as meh.
But overuse of these, or finding some new, difficult acronyms does get confusing.

Example: I read in the paper that 'lmao' meant 'In my arrogant opinion'. Lost in translation?

Now, by overuse, i mean something like 'LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL'. Everyone can accept 'HAHAHAHA' but the excessive LOL's? I have someone already bitching about it to whoever can hear.
Now, overuse can also lead to people developing new methods of saying the acronyms, or trying to shorten it further, such as 'lawl' which is longer than the original 'lol', or 'ceebs' for 'cbf'. Now, I hate using cbf, and it just annoys me whenever people say it because usually it is accompanied with 'work' 'life' 'you anymore' 'ACTUAL (cbf)'...
I find these greatly irritating, as well as everyone that has to read the same thing, day in, day out by the same people. 'Ceebs' is even more annoying, because I've had people telling me in person, 'ceebs'. Now, not only is 'ceebs' longer than its counterpart, but you can just tell that they actually are lazy assholes that they can't even finish an acronym for being lazy.

Now creating new ones really goes entirely to the 12-13 year olds. That's usually where it starts out being played, and I swear my sister told me gta or something means something weird. MAKING NEW ACRONYMS JUST STUFFS UP WITH EVERYONE!

This is commonly seen through texting, as well as IM .. now, people can accept why someone would need to use them for texting, it just makes it overall quicker, but when its on a keyboard, on IM, chatspeaking the entire sentence, which means leaving out ALL vowels, except for the ones needed in the acronyms really does make babies cry. While talking in person with someone, it should not be acceptable under any circumstance.
I'm a fan for just using the normal ones, as stated before.
