My nitpicking gripe...PROBABLY gonna piss people off...sorry...

[McGann]

Prepare to get pissed.
I don't want to hurt feelings,
But I've had enough!

The word's "PROBABLY"!
It's not "prolly" or "probly"
Neither "proberbly".

It's "PROBABLY", folks!
It's a form of "probable"
From Latin "probare".

I apologize
Just in case your first language
May not be English

But if it's your first,
There is simply no excuse
Except public school!

To sum up: pleeze lern
Two spel werds rite inn Inglesh
If itt's yore ferst tung.

haha can i try a haiku?

i used to think like you, all proper and true
but prolly is faster
and nobody cares if its spelled right

I think the reason most people does it is because of text messaging. I know when I'm texting someone and i need to say probably, I always use prolly cause it's faster. So it's a habbit now, I sometimes even use it when I'm talking. Its a horrible habbit, but it's not easy to stop.

[Mandy.]

Exactly... I know it's PROBABLY, but I usually write "prolly" on the internet. It's simply because it's faster.

[McGann]

Since Mandy posted,
And she's pretty fucking hot,
All is forgiven!!!   

OK, I get it.
Makes sense it's a time saver.
Stay tuned for more gripes!!!

Is a habbit anything like a hobbit?  Or maybe like a rabbit? 

Oh wait, maybe you meant "habit".   

I've never claimed I was a good speller 

[LittleFly]

chineseblues is a hobbit?

[EFISH]

I dont understand
Why we are using haiku's
To talk in this thread.

Splash?
 

[Voodoochild]

I don't know
Maybe because McGann is
Trying to make us brainwashed?

[CheapJon]

I started saying
"prolly" after I
became a member
of this site.
It's you'lls
guys fault

[Mandy.]

I have to agree
with Jon up there, it all started
with this HTGTH forum.

Splash??


(And yes, I suck at Haikus )

[T_Roxie]

Why are you writing in #Haiku anyway.  It makes you sound like you cant say a sentence properly

[Kujo]

Miami/Dade schools
Are to blame, my opinion
But I'm an asshole

saling theirsleves
who is doing it
for good ole me
i got 20 left
after the oakland concert

[EstrangedReality]

People who substitute "prolly" for "probably" should be drawn and quartered.

Don't get me started on the illiterates who use "their" in place of "they're."

[Mandy.]

Aye!
Don't forget to include "there" in your post.
And "you're" in place of "your".



The sad part is that people who usually post these have English as their first language. Otherwise it'd be totally understandable.

Nah. 'You're' is a composite word, 'your' is not. It isn't understandable, what's not to get, even if it is funny words to your tongue? Basic structure transcends foreign word confusion.

You can't expect a non-English speaker to know everything. Most of them are still learning (as we all are, I believe. But you know what I meant).
