And "ur" DOES NOT equal "your" or "you're."

Not in the ENGLISH language they aren't. But in the TEXTING language, they actually are.

There is no such thing as "texting language" I guess if you have an old three tap keyboard it is acceptable, but there is no reason you can't use proper English on a phone. This was typed on a phone for that matter, and it doesn't take much longer to do. I think people who use such terrible english just don't know how to properly speak it. Just like ebonics, nobody thinks da, dis, dat, and all that sounds cool, they just don't know how to really say, and speak it, because the people that do talk like that go to VERY bad schools.

I agree with every one except for maybe K. Just because I say "Kay" sometimes... so I type it sometimes. And anyway, OK isn't a word either, really. Just slang. So.. K is, too. Kinda.

OK isn't a word? Since when?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Since it's slang for okay.

(Corey):If you want to get technical, amirite is not a proper word either.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Sure, we use it as a word. But it is really an acronym. Why do you think it is always capitalized?

Okay is the actual word...

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Um, no, OK is the actual/original word. In fact, it is modernly accepted for OK to be written as "OK" or "O.K." Not "okay." http://www.wordsbetween.com/2010/01/okay-vs-ok.html It comes from the phrase "Oll Korrect." I'm pretty sure it has to do with Martin Van Buren and Old Kinderhook or something. Also, just because a word is an acronym does not mean that it isn't a word. And just because it's a "slang" word doesn't mean it's not a word either (which is really arguable considering it's a phrase that has evolved into something understood in many parts in the world).

Rage much. Do your saying if I write 'OK' in an exam, I won't get penalized? I'm quite sure, in the English language, when properly written you write 'okay' I've been told by my English teacher and I know she's very educated.

I was raging because I simply listed all of my arguments in a clear-cut manner? I didn't use one exclamation mark or caps if you look closely. Tell me how that is "raging," but I digress. OK was the original word. "Okay" was spawned of that. That's what I've been taught. I'm not saying I'm right, but neither should you just because your English teacher is "very educated."

So do you always write ok as OK? Because if you do, I think theres somethjg seriously wrong with you. If you say it is a word, use it as a proper one, don't capitalize it. (it makes it look like it stands for something) just saying.

I'm not even going to continue what with your incessant dribble. I can't even decipher half of the things you are trying to entail, honestly. And you think "theres somethjg seriously wrong" with ME?

I hate people like you. Just because he happened to accidentally make one spelling mistake, you instantly act as though he is retarded and makes no sense. It's one thing to correct spelling mistakes, but you are just ridiculous. It is obvious he meant "something", and you know that. Also, all of his points are valid and make sense, so if you can't understand what he was saying then i believe there really is something wrong with you.

She said that since I spell OK as OK, there is something seriously wrong with me. (WHAT?) NO. DENYING. THAT. That is what she said. Can you say again that her "points" are valid and make sense? (Among those points, might I add, was one about how her English teacher told her that it's spelled okay, so it MUST BE RIGHT) By the way, I didn't even point out her spelling mistake purposely or make reference to the fact that she was "retarded and makes no sense" because of her spelling mistake. Geez. I didn't want to continue because of her previous responses, as well. I found them just... weird (my teacher is smart so your argument is invalid; "it makes it look like it stands for something": IT DOES; awkward phrasing) Don't jump the gun. Also, "he" is a girl.

You get pretty angry about the word 'okay'. 'AMG I KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE, EVEN THOUGH I PROBABLY GOT IT FROM A SOURCE THAT ISN'T RELIABLE' raraararar. I don't care and I believe I'm right.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I'm just saying my statements for God's sake. We're having a debate. I don't know how you're getting anger from that. I never once claimed I knew everything about the English language either. Stop exaggerating it. I also love how you claim my source isn't reliable... while your source, your English teacher, is ABSOLUTELY reliable. Also, "AMG" and "raraararar": what the fuck? And you keep on using single quotes whenever you should be using double quotes. Anyway, whatever. You believe what you think is right, and I'll believe what I think is right. Then we can go on our merry ways, hmm?

^^^ "That is what she said." haha

by Anonymous 13 years ago

But what if you're texting and only limited to certain number of letters and you have a lot to type out, then using those are close enough for the other person to understand. But i totally agree if it's like for an essay or something. That would totally be lame.
