Curmudgeon? LOL, that would be a cool nick, really.

As far as I know, "dawg" is not internet slang, and it's not the same as dude. It's like "dude", yeah, but I think it's mainly used by African Americans, if not exclusively by them. "Wuddup daaawg?" is something I would associate with black guys, so I would not suggest using that word unless you are black. I could be wrong, though...

As for exclamation points, have you ever seen, like, "OMG amanda broke up with bob OMG!!11!!11!!!!!!!111!1!1!!!" <--- exclamation points become "ones", you just have to release the shift key! Unbelievable... Smile [:)]

If you don't have a sense of humor already, it's about time you buy one.

i don't know much of english chatroom, the only one sometimes i go to chat to kill time is Cupidbay.com. It seems it is a place where people to find boyfriend and girlfiend, so the very thing i dislike to see in the chatroom is 'can you give me your picture?'

Yes, and endless exclamation mark is annoyed too, lol

I've never come to chat with any strangers. I don't mind starting a chat but when the Internet is getting more dangerous, I think I should not. Sometimes, people come to chat to me and some phrases they use really make me sick.

I hate "asl". When I make friends, it doesn't matter for me their age, sex and location. I'm not going to date with someone I just chat through the Internet for a couple of minutes. Why do they ask me this question? I hate "Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii" as well! I also don't like who type all capitalized letters, it's annoying me! I hate "do you have webcam?" "can we have a cam2cam chat" immediately when the chat just starts. I'm not advertising myself on the Internet. I hate "what are you wearing" then they start talking about sex. I ignore there people immediately! I feel it's so rude! Uhm... I think there are some other phrases I really hate but I'll tell later! ^^

Hi everybody Smile [:)]

Talk about the phrases I hate when chatting, it's "c2c", I hate it the most ><. And something else like "cam2cam", "pic", "hot chat"...
Can you image a chat like this:
A: asl?
B: 99 f mars
A: c2c?
B: no cam here
A: any pic?
B: sorry
A: mix?
B: nooo
A:ok bye
The guy named A is quite "patient" in this case, many people in chat room just simply say bye after seeing the text "no cam"
And someone in B's shoes would ignore B right away Big Smile [:D]

By the way, I used to go to yahoo's chat rooms sometime and was scared away ( I just piled it on a little ^^). Anyway, it's not true now if I said I wanna make friends with anybody out there. Tongue Tied [:S]

My personal feeling when I come into a chat room, it's like you came in a brand new world and start learning a new language there. But when I got used to it, I realized that my english was ruined and became an easy english. It's not what I want...

If you think education is expensive, try ignorance.

Elfsleepy, I agree with Francesca that The chat page maybe a good chatroom. Not so many tools but that's what makes it striking. Smile [:)]

Darkjackass1234, is that your riddle for us? I gave up my attempt at understanding it ^^

hmmmmmmm, i guess i would agree with most of you for some extent, especially with GG when she mentioned that TCP is used by English language learners from around the globe and using the chat slang would only spoil their English.

However, I partially disagree with the importance of asking about "asl ?" I may dislike the abbreviation, but it is normal I guess to ask people about their gender (that can be obvious from the real name), location (to have a rough idea about the culture and society and general thoughts) and finally age (to predict the amount of experience and knowledge may be).

As I have initially mentioned, A.S.L, cannot tell you everything about a person but usually it would give you a rough idea about his/her thoughts, psycology, culture and all may affect one's personality.

I may be wrong, but that what I think.
