Adding extra letters to words

<p>Over the last two weeks I have noticed my facebook news feed is littered with posts FILLED with extra letters. </p>

<p>Example:</p>

<p>Alrightttttyy, gymm then pool. Lovving summmmmer. </p>

<p>What. the. heck. </p>

<p>I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE. </p>

<p>Please tell this isn't just a fad among my friends??????</p>

<p>Ohmygoddd, Keep on reachingggg, it is suchh a fadddd, like alll around the global atmosphereeeee. Do you mind if I typee like thissssss for likeee this entire threadd? Wowww, sooooo kewlll.</p>

<p>I do ittttttt. Peace out girl scouuutt</p>

<p>Ummmm girl scoutttsss, are like more lameee than donkeyy fecal matterr, likee get with thee programmmm girlfranddd.</p>

<p>i do this sometimessss. usually with people’s names. especially if their name ends with a.
as in an “ah” sound. or a vowel in general.</p>

<p>It’ss a girlyyy thingg…****ing dumb tbh.</p>

<p>It’s not just a girly thing. All the guys do it to!<br>
Example:
Sickkk nightt last nightt. Gymm then pool tmrrwww</p>

<p>I know guys that do it
Cool party brooooooo
That hoe was fiiiiiiiiiiiine</p>

<p>Likeeee the ethereal hazee was soooo upliftinggg.</p>

<p>I catch myself doing it once in a while, but I find it to be pretty annoying when every single word in a sentence has these extra letters.</p>

<p>oh myy godd thatttt iss sooooo annoyinng. likee seriouslyy whyy would yoou doooo thatttt? it’sssss sooooo annoyinggg toooo readddd andddd makessss yooou sounddd stupiddd. especiallyyy whennn the statusss endss witth txtttt meeee</p>

<p>lol, my friend befriended some random person going to the same school next year who chatted like that. She thought it was a girl, until he told her he was a guy.</p>

<p>And the moral of this story is…?</p>

<p>^Guys who do that are deemed homosexual or female until further notice?</p>

<p>If it’s in the whole sentence, it can be irritating, but I do use it for occasional effect. E.g.:</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>OnTheFridge, I have no problem with what you just described. Many of my friends statuses, stati?, were “ESPANNNNAAAAAA”. Obviously, they did this to demonstrate they were shouting with excitement.</p>

<p>Did you know that the reason there are unnecessary letters in some words (colour, honour come to mind) is because printing fees were originally calculated by the letter?</p>

<p>omggg. Is it really that annoying? Maybe people just talk like that. To express excitement or something. I do it. It’s better than leaving out letters imo. bcuz no1 rly tlks lyk ths</p>

<p>heyyyyyyyy y’all. Reppin’ life?</p>

<p>Meadow, I don’t want to read anything with unnecessary extra letters or with letters that have been left out. </p>

<p>As to your comment that “maybe people just talk like that”, yeah, I’m pretty sure they don’t. I don’t hear people holding onto their s’s or t’s. Comments like
Gymmmmm then tannninnnggg with the besttt frienddd are just as indecipherable as “bcuz no1 rly tlks lyk ths” </p>

<p>I made the thread about extra letters because that’s what my friends do. My friends don’t leave out letters.</p>

<p>Then they’re probably doing it too excessively. That’s lame, I agree.</p>

<p>And sorry for not precisely responding to your post.</p>
