I honestly never used that 'internet lingo'. I was rather annoying I think and had a very poor English. I wish I could delete Deviantart comments. I'm glad the comments are long gone under thousand of others though.

Hm, I might have slipped in a few "lols" and the like in my early days, but not to the excessive degree I've seen from some others.
That being said, I still do use emoticons now and then.

I used to text speak most of the time and it wasn't until I came and settled into RPC that I grew out of doing it.

I've only ever typed up comments with - purposely - bad spelling when joking, never in other cases however. I used to feel that I had the self-entitlement to correct others' spelling and such, but I've recently learned how to quit being a self-satisfied twat.

I started out at the very beginning typing with proper grammar, but soon after figured that that wasn't "cool", so I started talking like 'how r u' and such. Suffice to say, within a year I'd given it up out of embarrassment.
I've never done that surprisingly, although the reason I named my original YouTube channel superluigi132 was because everyone had numbers in their name so it was likely this cool trend. Brilliant logic.

Also love this collection of pointless videos I made that I believed everyone couldn't wait to see:

Gotta love that description.

Meh, I get corrected by others, and I correct others, a circle of corrections.

@Keane, I don't know what to do with my old YouTube vids, I followed a few others of the Rayman gang on YouTube when making those, it's time I did something proper, but I don't have the means to do so.

I didn't do anything on youtube until my speedpaints so I got nothing to be ashamed of in anyway on youtube.

I would happily go back in time and stick myself in a blender and not care about the future.

Same. Expecially the ones that were typed by the worst out of my 3 personas (fanboy persona). I am trying my best to control myself and not let that persona get out but even these days it sometimes does happen :pfff:
Although it is more rare than it happened in past.

Meh, given how impressionable and sensitive I was as a kid, I'd probably try to talk to him about how he needs to lighten up and not get put down.

Kinda late, but I guess I'll go ahead and say Oui. I am high-functioning autistic.

And as far as the whole YouTube thing, I also used to make AMVs back in the day when I first started. Back then I was known as Earthdragon2000. I don't think I ever really used text speak, probably only once, maybe twice. But yeah, looking back at the comments I made 6 years ago when I first made my account, and even 4 years ago, they're a little embarrassing. Even at 18 I was still acting very much like a teenager. Over time, though, I did grow up and even grew to hate my original user name.

Not autistic.
I do think I'm an idiot though.

Same thing here. I knew there were autistic people but not that much.

While I wouldn't call myself autistic, I sense very strong autism coming from this thread: Hungarian Topic

After re-reading it, I find it really amusing.
Daring mods/admins to not call any 3-word posts spam unless they can prove it is as good as it gets. You guys should just use Google Translate to experience it. :D

It's a dumb off-topic topic for dumb, fun off-topicy topicness. :roll:

Also, putting a disability/quirk that many people on here have in that context, especially in a serious thread on the subject, comes off as kinda jackassy. ;)
