What is Trust?

Better idea, why don't we switch to newspeak
it is plussimple!

 

Txt speak is objectively technically more efficient than standard English because it conveys more in less characters; it just carries a stigma of the user being 12/uneducated/stupid/whatever and most people aren't used to it enough to read/write it as fluently as standard English, unfortunately.

It's silly to consider the current form of the language the only "right" one.

 

we shouldn't reinstate thorn because it's a pain

 

Why don't we all just reinstate thou, ye, the long s, and the thorn?

Because people get ye confused with thou. Ye is the colloquial pronoun for the plural second person. In other words, when you write "ye", it means "You all". Thou, on the other hand, is the pronoun for the singular second person. (Or "you.")

 

Trust is when you expect someone to do something without being asked to, the something in question depending on the person. For example, I trust that Shimmy will use proper grammar, or I trust that you, royaltyler, will make amazing threads such as this.

 

For example, I trust that Shimmy will use proper grammar,

Yeah I was waiting with bated breath for him to make a super intellectual post in this thread.

Beat me to it I see.

 

I must admit, Fab, I was expecting something a bit more sarcastic/dark/condescending when I saw you had posted here . I don't know whether to be disappointed or proud.

I'm so sorry guys. I was really in a rush. I did not have time to think of a better response, and now the moment has passed.

Rest assured I will redeem myself.

On the topic at hand: we should definitely try to change a language spoken by hundreds of millions of people. I don't know why no one's thought of that before.

They Have.

I should note that chatspeak is too inconsistant to be viable as a language, which actually makes it less efficient. One word in English may be represented in ten different ways in chatspeak. This means that the only way to understand chatspeak is by translating it to proper English in your mind, which requires a fairly good understanding of English if you are not a native speaker. Chatspeak is only there to make you do the work that someone else was too lazy to do.

I said change, not regulate. The changes we were talking about were major enough that you'd never get people to adopt them any time soon. Yes, I knew about L'Académie française, and how it's been around for 376 years.

I was obviously being sarcastic because trying to forcefully reinstate old English as common would be stupid

Actually I've been slightly sarcastic this whole time who'd have thought I might even be right now and now it's getting too meta

Trust is basically knowing that if you were extremely vurnerable in one way or another that the person that you trust would not take advantage of you.

This is very vague, so i'll use the "trust fall" exercise as an example.

You let yourself fall backwards with someone close by behind you. The idea is that if you have trust in them you can fall like that and know they will catch you, rather than stepping back and lauging at you as you fall on the ground.

A more relevant example is knowing that someone wouldnt take your cash if you left your wallet on the table. It's basically about being close to someone to the extent you think they will always support you, even when it's tempting or profitable to take advantage.

 

Honesty and respect.

 

But what if you don't trust someone, and you honestly and respectfully tell them so?

Late response, the same can be said about "normal" English in many cases. Buffalo Buffalo buffalo Buffalo Buffalo, their/they're/there and your/you're being pronounced the same, it's all about context.

This means that the only way to understand chatspeak is by translating it to proper English in your mind, which requires a fairly good understanding of English if you are not a native speaker. Chatspeak is only there to make you do the work that someone else was too lazy to do.

This is only because you're used to it being written as it is now. It's not inherent in the writing itself. If you grew up with all of the letters backwards you'd think it's normal and have to "translate" reading our "normal" writing.

 

No, chatspeak has all the problems inherent in normal English, and then the problem of it not being consistent. lol lawl lul

 

Buffalo Buffalo buffalo Buffalo Buffalo, their/they're/there and your/you're being pronounced the same, it's all about context.

Why did you write Buffalo 5 times? It's spelled exactly the same every time you write it too.
