"and comeon people, not everyone HAS to like the same thing so if you dont like them and you just wanna be in this for the points plz dont write anything like get a life. And inkybob, yes im 14 but i DO know how to spell its just a called "abbreviations" becuz SOME people dont feel like writing the whole god dang paragraph Especcially wen its that long."
I'm no English teacher, but I would consider that plain old misspelling, not abbreviating. It seems that people who absolutely cannot spell always turn to the old standby, "I was abbreviating." No, you weren't abbreviating, you were just being stupid. Stop denying it. You don't abbreviate "especially" with "especcially." Last time I checked, that's actually longer.

Ha! I agree with you totally! I think I saw the question with that information added to it, and I just clicked away in disgust...! (Or should I abbreviate that to "Eye klikked a way inne dizzkasstt!"?)
What a loser!

im no english teacher either but i really hate how people are hacking the language .. i mean ebonics lmfao ( now theres an abbreviation) how can anyone possibly take that seriously? it is a strange thing when everyones standards are lowerd lower and lower and its considered acceptable. worse yet everyone is supposed to praise this and god forbid dont be negative toward the idiots cause u could turn these people into mass murderers ...not saying you must be perfect but lets continue speaking the same language at least....

Yeah, I guess I agree with you, but I also think you're a snotty little better-grammar-than-thou-er who needs to stop being so catty and judgmental. If you understood what she said, then her spelling is just fine. I guess you like being superior--I mean, I do, but I don't lord it over people. Read up on how English "grammar" really got set--descriptive vs. prescriptive. It's a real eye-opener if you can get your nose out of the air and into a book. Or you can just ***** and moan on Yahoo Answers and not learn a damn thing. Your call.

that is not an abbreviation that is misspelling. abbreviating is making the word shorter not longer good grief some people need to work on their spelling and stop being lazy!

I'm sorry. but how up-tight can you be?
Sometimes people accidentaly type things wrong..
what is that called? A MISTAKE!
Now stop complaining, and ask questions that we truley care about!
There's a good thing that you are not an english teacher,
cause MAN you'd be so strict.
oh and ps. when he/she typed especcially, maybe they accidentaly slipped their finger and added an extra 'c.'
like holy ****!
