This thread from the p&ce board is great

 About overused internet words/sayings.

I think my favorite is the girl who says her H hates LOL cats because cats could never be that stupid, and that they have perfect spelling and grammar.

    THIS

     

    No, seriously, I want to monitor myself now.  Thank god they don't hate LOL.  Because I did when I first started posting, but then I realized that even though a sarcastic-ish "ha." is more my style, lol gets the point across better.  Maybe.

    I'll admit, I'm an offender. I use a lot of internet slang, when I'm on the internet.

    However, the only one that really bothers me is tl;dr. First, because it's an improper use of a semicolon, second because it's just a diick thing to post. If you're not going to read something, then just dont read it.

    Actually, that semicolon is correct.  Like someone said in the original thread, it's to make a point: don't post a wall of text.

    I had never heard of TL;DR until one of my professors said it in class this past semester.  I agree that it makes it's point.

    Really? I thought a colon would be more appropriate there or even a comma. I could easily be wrong, I'm not the best with grammar.

    A colon doesn't really work there and a comma there would cause a comma splice.

    1. I love that there is a debate about punctuation going on in this thread.

    2. P&CE is my new favorite board to lurk at. /creepy lurker

    Ok, I'm either really naive or live under a rock, because I can't for the life of me figure out what tl;dr is.  No matter what way I turn my head.

     

    ETA:  Ok, I read the thread that was linked from above.  Too long; didn't read.  I have honestly never seen that before - on here or in real life.  I was slightly dissapointed because I thought it would be something dirty.
