and yet most of the people complaining here are from teh good old USA wher people have no idea how how to spell COLOUR think that the plual of Dwarf is dwarves ( its not you know Dwarves fantasy race from lord of the rings -dwarfs is the english language spelling)
and yes the extra two seconds of time is important to people --just ask everyone who wants to skip bosses in heroics --time is important .
having said that plox is just stupid --plz is quite acceptable--we all know what it means so everyone go eat a tea spoon of cement and harden the @#$% up
Why even bring up the color #$%^? You put your dumb U in there and us Americans will keep that crap out of there.

I am Australian, where we use UK spelling, but I personally prefer American spellings. They're more efficient.

you missed the point a little --what i meant was that language is constantly evolving ( or de-evolving depending on your veiw) --the two words i used as an example are now considered correct in both forms --i have no problem with that . just I have no problems with most of the abbreviations used .
What really surprised me is that no one commented on the words i did mispell in my original post :)
I didnt notice your other misspelled words because I was too busy noticing your over happy use of --
But on a completely serious note I was logged into WoW for 1 hr starting up noblegarden and such, too my surp...non-surprise I see a low level at razor hill saying "can some1 help me find easter eggs pl0x" nobody responds....I run by him...oh god he is following me =X I get a whisper "hey help me find eggs pl0x" I kid you not. I tell him only if he stops typing like a moron, his reply "pls help me find eggs pls" *sigh* since it is easter I helped the kid out by just telling him the spots where they spawn at "ah coo thx man!" was his reply.

Just reply to following when someone uses 'plz'.
Random person X: "Can I have a portal plz?"
You:" If you're saying plz because it's shorter than please, I'll say no because it's shorter than yes."
I am SO saying this next time it happens on my mage....

There is a theory (in Linguistics) that children may actually have more to do with the development of language than adults. Several historical examples have been cited, such as Hawaii, where people from America, Spain, China, Japan, the Philippines, and other nations immigrated to find work. They couldn't really communicate much. However? Their children played together. And before long, they had developed Hawaiian Pidgin as a common language. The second generation -- the ones which had all been children -- were VERY well able to communicate with one another.
I just thought that interesting enough to share.
Pidgin sucks, when you have a perfectly servicable language to use.

Whenever I am messaged with something like this :
FotFW plz,
I usually respond with :
ENGLISH, MOTHER F%$^ER, DO YOU SPEAK IT?
Easy way to end up banned.

No one uses Pl0x because its shorter. Those people use the annoying "pls". Pl0x comes from Plx which is a typo of Plz, and some people now use Plx/plox as a joke.
That's exactly why I do it.
