"wuz good" ...wtf...

wuz good men u think u can help me find some girls on line write bsck

I'm usually pretty nice about 'leet' or broken sentences, but this one really topped the cake. I'm not even sure where to begin on how horrable this PM I got is. Please use punctuation. A period now and then makes things so much easier to read. Also, this was in a pm, I, personally, would be grateful if works would be spelled completely & properly. Not short stuff like "u", it's not like you don't have time to write. As for the first section, "wuz good men", I can't even begin to understand what was ment. Stuff like this makes me feel like an eight year-old wrote it and it's not worth reading.

Thank you for reading my thoughts. (^_^)

Oh, also about the context, ... ... LOL. Someone needs some help and oni's don't share. :p

Topped the cake?

That's pretty bad, though. Maybe people should have to pass an English test to register here (or a Japanese test...).

Bad English, the most widespread
language in the world. Btw, how
did a _private_ message end up
on public forums?

This is when you suggest giving up. Or tell him he can save time and effort by wearing a sign that says, "do not feed the animals"

[redfoxer]

i assume the person was trying to say,

(advice/situation/whatever the context of last convo) was good man. do you think you can help me find some girls online. write back.

My whole guess would be,

The advice you gave me was outstanding my dear chum. thanks. do you think you can help me find some females i can talk to on the internet? please respond.

Yup. Almost as bad as those members with .sig pictures over 400x100 pixels large.

Well..."understanding" and "writing in very bad way" are different terms, isn't they?

They are not the same thing. If you come here, show yourself and others around you some respect by presenting youself through how you write. I don get how ne1 can be taken suriosly wraiting liek dis. This is a message board for learning and disccussing the japanese language and/or culture, not a chat room or personal IM dating service.

yah i hatE wen PpL do that that is totly awsum

/\ did anybody really understand that well?

[AJBryant]

My personal take:

I someone feels that *I* am not worth the respect of proper English, proper grammar, and actually taking the time to write properly....

They aren't worth my time to respond.

I get lots of interesting e-mails asking for help for rather esoteric things. Occasionally, I get really good ones. Ususally, they're variants on this:

Sup man i wz wondring f there r any patterns for tatsukibakama

And that's a direct quote of the totality of the message. No introduction. No *real* salutation. Not really even a question, when it comes down to it.

He didn't get a response.

i like the way you're thinking. it's not nice to not greet, and that question just sounds stupid.
