Do you ever type "prolly" for "probably"?

[porkrind]

If so, please smack yourself upside the head and resolve to change your ways. Thank You.

1. no, i think i'll prolly keep my ways.

:evilgrin:

[porkrind]

9. Aha! I KNEW the guilty party would step forward!

Your conscience wouldn't let you rest until you confessed! Now you must PAY! :spank:

[pres2032]

16. well, i prolly won't openly confess

and so i prolly won't have to pay.

:silly: :evilgrin:

2. What is it with that?

I just don't get it.

[progmom]

3. .

[porkrind]

10. Why, thank you. I'd love to. I thought you'd never ask.

Just let me get a little more comfy. :)

4. I do! I'm from West Virginia...

that's the way we say it! So that's the way I sometimes type it. "Probably" takes too much effort. I'm tired.

5. I actually use it in conversation

smack away, I think idioms are cool

[BiggJawn]

6. I used to.

But responses from the Spelling Gestapo like YOURS broke me of the habit.

[porkrind]

12. Oh, now see? You went and hurt my feelings.

:)

Actually, it's really more like the "Dept of Homeland Spelling Security", not the Gestapo. I'm here to keep you safe from 'terrists. They're everywhere. WATCH OUT BEHIND YOU! BOO!

[BiggJawn]

18. AHHH! the dreaded "I before E except after C" gang!

Never heard them coming!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

7. No.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

8. Probly.

[tjdee]

11. Yes--and should I spell out Laughing Out Loud and Oh My God too?

IMO, there are certain allowances to be made for those sorts of things.

I didn't know it irritated people until a while ago when it came up, and I think I've used it less.

It still doesn't stoop to the level of looser's.

:silly:

[porkrind]

13. "looser's" ???

OK, you stumped me there. Come again?

[tjdee]

14. Some people spell loser "looser".

And some pluralize by putting apostrophe s.

So instead of losers we get "looser's".

OH it hurts. I know that some have legitimate spelling issues, but the apostrophe s to pluralize bewilders me.

[porkrind]

17. Gotcha.

That one bugs me too. On the same topic, it also bugs me when people misuse "too" and "to", as in "That bugs me to."

[stupid grin]

15. I hate reading "prolly" as much as I loathe reading

"your such a nice person" or "their nice people".

[Magrittes Pipe]

19. No, I am not an idiot.

:P
