please, if you’re going to make a serious announcement, please put it in regular english so we can understand your message. It starins the eyes trying to figure what you have written.
My eyes are certainly starin’.
Ai lubs it wen trolls critty size teh LOLspeek but canute rite in proper inglish eever!
Amburkatt, yuu is be mai hiiro… yuu inspird mii tu bii a TROLL HUNTAR. No TROLL shall git pasht me!
((… Sum wurds are rea– vurry hawd tu sai in LOLspeakies…))
Im not a troll, im a regualr here and the lolspeak hurts my eyes to try and decipher idiot.
Yer a regular troll adn yew can’t type eether
Try reading it out loud
I tried reading it out loud, and I couldn’t get past the first paragraph.
I agree with MeowCat; at least post one in ICHC-speak and one in regular English, or offer a link to a “translation” (and make the translation link something people can recognize, not “taylez-play-shun” or something).
I accept that the “special language” is part of the culture here, but it’s also part of the reason that I almost never bother with attempting to read the comment threads anymore. (Only clicked this one to see if anyone had a source for the image, because BWAHAHAHA!) The lolspeak is fine, even funny, in small doses, but in large quantities like this, if they want the message to reach a broader audience?… It’s too much for some of us. Adding a translation or a link would benefit everyone.
For the terminally lazy/infrequent posters/those with little or no sense of humour:
A number of regular posters, based in England, have recently taken part in 5km sponsored events known as “Race for Life”, raising money for Cancer Research UK. If you give would like to contribute to their fundraising efforts, our various fundraising pages are listed below. To avoid moderation, an additional space has been added between the “h” and the “t” of each address.
Clear enough for you?!

Thanks very much.
For the record, please don’t assume trolling, laziness, or lack of a sense of humo(u)r when requests are made for clarity on “important announcement” style posts. I spend all day transcribing medical, scientific, and legal documents and their argots are second-nature to me, but if I had an important message to relay, I would use plain-spoken English, not technical jargon. It just makes more sense.
The posters who interrupt the regular chatter to announce that you’re all drooling idiots who need to learn to spell? – yes, those are definitely trolls with no sense of humor and should be dealt with accordingly, and brutally. This, however, was something quite different.
MeowCat and I asked politely and respectfully, and gave our reasons for asking; we didn’t criticize the regulars here or insult them. (I should note here that I have no idea who MeowCat is.) We were met, in return, with sarcasm and snark (over a simple transposition error), brusqueness, and a surprising level of hostility… surprising to me, at least, because I remember that this used to be a *very* friendly, welcoming site in its early days.
I understand that you’re probably tired – and rightfully so – of the kind of people who come in and call you all morons because they don’t “get it,” but surely you can recognize that such was not the case here. Neither of us criticized you in any way; we simply asked for a translation to be provided for the benefit of those who can only process small amounts of the ICHC-speak.
Last but not least: I assume it was because I haven’t posted in so long, but for whatever reason, my comment was held for moderation when I first posted. The admins of ICHC apparently reviewed my comment and decided that it was worth posting, did not constitute trolling, and was respectful enough to the regulars of the site to warrant approval.
In view of that fact, I should probably ignore your (and others’) tone(s) and perhaps your post(s) altogether, but I am taking the time to post this in the hopes that the regulars here won’t be quite so harsh on the next person who asks for a translation of a comment that is clearly intended to be important, provided that they do so in a respectful, non-insulting manner. Unless, of course, you don’t WANT charitable organizations to receive donations from anyone who is not a proficient ICHC-speaker?
eeee, you rock. I agree, the tone of the regular posters here has become quite intolerant of those of us who refuse (for our very own good reasons) not to engage in ‘kittehspeak’ (I’ve never heard my cats say anything other than ‘meow’). The people who regularly post on these blogs seem to think that they ‘own’ the blogs, and by gumby, you had better fit in. It’s one of the reasons that I stopped looking at another site that dealt with funny pictures of cats.. the posters took over with their posts about their own little universe.
Our sense of humor is just fine, thank you. I’ve just come to hate the whole abomination that the English language has become, thanks to texting and IMing. I just prefer to write (and read) in regular old English. It does not make me a troll. It does not make me lazy (in fact, it’s more the opposite since I take the time and care to type out the whole word, instead of inane things like ‘c u l8r’. It does not mean that I have no sense of humor.
The only reason I look at the comments is that I do like Jack’s poems, despite the kittehspeak, and scroll through the other posts until I find his posts . This particular thread happened to catch my eye, and decided to get on my soapbox. I whole-heartedly agree with eeee, and think that if you do have something important to state, then please: do it in English.
I now step off my soapbox and return you to your regularly scheduled kitteh speak.
*stare* tis be LOLspeek. Nawt “kittehspeek”. Yuu no has tu comment if yuus dun liek how we be tawkin.
No, I guess I really don’t, but please don’t castigate us if we choose not to use the local dialect.
By the way, don’t you know that it’s not polite to stare?
…. Ur point? Ai can stare if Ai want tu.
If I may step into this discussion…..
Most of the “regulars” here most emphatically DO NOT CASTIGATE peeps for not using LOLspeek. While you don’t have to comment in LOLspeek, you shouldn’t cast aspersions on those of us who do. We welcome one and all. We are friendly and kind.
We have been attacked by our fair share of trolls. I personnally subscribe to the Nil Per Troll (Don’t feed the Trolls) course of action. But there are those here who sometimes make the rash assumption that peepz who talk like trolls, are trolls; and mount a counter attack.
LOLspeek is NOT a sign of laziness. It is an inventive and imaginitive new language. It is an unexplored frontier without boundaries or rules. It is a playground for those of us who chose to venture there. Like learning any new language, it does require effort. But once learned, it is a fascinating and addictive entertainment. After years of writing technical manuals and lesson plans and having to make sure every word of every sentence was exactly, perfectly correct, I find the freedom of LOLspeek to be exhilarating.
I agree with this – I have seen the occasional “standard English” post here, and they do not usually get jumped on (although they do usually seem to get ignored). This is why it was so surprising to me that MeowCat’s request for a translation was met with that level of sarcasm and huffiness.
And let me interrupt myself to say here, I have *seen* some sarcasm and huffiness, and I have even dished some out, and in the grand scheme of things, the replies were perhaps a 3.5 or 4 on a 1-10 snark scale – right up until “lil miss kitty,” at which point it jumped to about a 6.5.
So I’m not saying that the comments were, in and of themselves, spectacularly offensive – just that it was really quite surprising given the situation. If I were trying to raise money for a charitable cause, and someone didn’t understand what I was promoting, and asked nicely, I’d be falling all over myself to be as polite, helpful, friendly, and welcoming to them as I possibly could. Instead, it was sort of a “You know what, just p!ss off if you can’t figure it out” kind of response.
As I said: I know that y’all get trolls, and I’m sorry for it. I hate them as much as anyone. But there is a difference between trolling and what happened here, which was an honest non-critical attempt at communication which was met with annoyance, snark, and, sorry to say it, rudeness.
Personally, I don’t castigate anyone for indulging in the LOLspeak. I don’t type it, myself, because it would take me 45 minutes to type a three line comment, and as you can see I’m fairly verbose. (c: (I have gotten into the habit of spelling “kitty” with an “-eh” though.) I agree wholeheartedly that it is NOT a “lazy language,” by any means… but it’s also not “lazy” when someone makes an effort to read a lengthy post but *cannot* follow it and requests assistance. (It was literally HOURS, nearly a full day, before I finally figured out that “miggul” meant “middle.”)
It would definitely be rude for those of us who speak standard English exclusively to whine and complain about the LOLspeak in the comment thread in general, or to demand that LOLspeak be forbidden. But that’s not what happened here at all… the request that MeowCat and I voiced was very specific: If it’s an important announcement, please make it accessible. Unless, of course, you* don’t want our money or contributions because we’re not part of the “in group.”
I appreciate your thoughtful – and easy on my eyes! – response, Cweenmj, and I hope you can understand my POV as well as (I hope) I understand yours. Thanks.
*Impersonal pronoun “you,” not specifically *you*, Cweenmj.
Oh – forgot to mention this. The only thing in your post that I would disagree with is the “people who talk like trolls, are trolls” bit.
I don’t seen any sign of trollishness in either MeowCat’s or my own post (although I suppose I am probably too biased to see any in my own, seeing as how I know exactly what I meant). So I don’t think it’s fair to imply that we earned or deserved the response that we got.
If our original requests had been phrased like, “OMG you guys are so ridiculous with this baby-talk cr@p, why can’t you speak English like a normal person? You must be a bunch of brain-damaged, no-life losers,” then the response – and even a much harsher one – would certainly have been warranted.
I think it’s important for all internet players to remember that just because a person thinks/believes/behaves differently than you do, and says so, does not automatically make them a troll. I have been accused of being a troll for giving my opinion on a post (on a political blog) which SAID, “What’s your opinion? Tell me what you think in the comments” – but my opinion was different from that espoused by most of the regulars, so I was immediately labeled a troll – a “disgusting slimy creeper of a troll,” to be precise – and told to crawl back under my rock.
I was polite and respectful in my expression, but my views simply did not line up with theirs… that means we disagree, but it does not mean I am a troll.
Sorry – I promise to make this my last reply (for now)!
I had (can you predict it?) trouble following the bulk of the NPT post, but Nightshayde’s commentary was in standard English so I mainly just read that – and, coincidentally, s/he says, much more succinctly, exactly what I was trying to say above:
“One thing I HAVE noticed lately is that sometimes cheezpeeps are a little too quick to label people “trolls” without any evidence to back up the “tee-ar-oh-el-el” claims.”
I am, admittedly, biased in this regard, but I do think that’s what happened here to MeowCat – I think s/he was unjustly and incorrectly labeled as a troll simply because s/he spells differently and voiced his/her frustration with being unable to understand what was apparently an important announcement.
I am a regualr, I rarely post unless its a superfunny picture that has caught my attention, as I’m too busy looking at the cat pics. But when i want to post, It’s hard to follow the conversations because they are not in plain english, rather phonetic spellings and it strains the eyes trying to read what others have posted.
I completely agree with this, it needs to be saved for the pictures only.
