What has my belief in God anything to do with piracy, I cleared that
already, I believe in Him but I do wrong things to survive, read the
posts above and what about the pedantic? dude, u were saying u were
ready to take my word on why not pirating software would lead me to
suffering in my country and once I explained why, instead of actually
accept my word as u wrote u would u do exactly the opposite and I'm
pedant? hahaha.

> Ah, something we can agree on.
Again, I explained I have no choice and I'm right not coz I say so, but
coz my situation says so, but u again missed the point and come to make
redundant assumptions, so u take the fast and easy cynic highway to
criticize me, but I'm sure coz u r "legal" guy u will not cease to say u
r not the closed mineded but me, the infamous pirate, is laughable to
see how ppl that were once trying to understand u turns cynic and closed
mineded once u justify ur point and they can't beat the logic, so
keeping on writing to u is simply pointless, now I'm starting to notice
ur frustration and intolerant attitude calling me pedant when wasn't me
who broke his word about getting ready to take my word for it, dude the
more u write the more typically intolerant ur behave/attitude it is, so
be it; peace out.

To a native English speaker it makes you sound juvenile or ignorant. Also other
people do not read your text faster.

Once u get use to it u read a lot faster, but here most ppl presume of
making intellectual milestones writing or discovering intellectual
interesting stuff and mostly as a show-off of their mental capacity but
a small challenge and bam! oh is too hard... OK...

LOL now you sound only juvenile.
Do you know what the "queen's English" means, nowadays?

BTW "u" is Dutch and ppl means Private Pilot License or Preferred Parts List
amongst other things.
I will most humbly take my leave of you. You cannot, sir, take from me anything
that I will not more willingly part withal.

Something like: "Once you younderstand how short sentences can be jyoust
by adding "you" instead of "yoyou" and other abbreviations. You read
faster and you write faster. BYOUT NO, you can't simply make a small
mental effort and take it as an internet slang and get yoused to it, if
not imitate it... It is all the same to me, oyour newsgroyoup, oyour
way, or the highway... fine, so be it. Bye."?
I think Saul's original text was more readable.

I read it thus:
Once you get used to it you (can) read a lot faster, but here, most people
presume to make or write intellectual (of their) achievements. They do this
mostly to show off their mental capacity. But ask them (to do) a small challenge
and bam! (It) is too hard.
Now as someone who has battled with dyslexia I find it insulting to be spoken to
like that. Also on an international newsgroup it is only polite to write in a
way that you can be understood.
>I think Saul's original text was more readable.
I agree

I actually used s/\<u\>/you/ in vim, so it matched word boundaries.

I can see your point, but the group is not only international, it is
also intercultural. You'd be amazed what is considered normal spelling
in some subcultures. Indeed we have had worse examples of 1337 here. If
I were you I would not bother too much. Kids will always want to show
that they are part of some interesting cultural development. I did it
when I was young, you probably did it too, though in our cases it was
not language that was the victim. It'll rub off when they get older
generally (or it becomes standard spelling).
