why do people use the **** icon in a sentence? from what i understand... lemme see... the icon (**** icon) is used if you would want to signify that you are saying a joke or want people to take your statement lightly.. if it is on a serious note and arses are used, would that be a sign of disrespect? might be missing something..... I know I'm off the topic... just seeing a lot or ****.... and just wondering... LOL
Its up to you how you will take it girl.....on my part i use it for joke or playing..there is old time member here too,she use that icon for her reason...but we keep laughing on it...look funny thou...Originally Posted by Florge
Sometimes using the asterisk in a word means that the person wants to convey on something that should be taken lightly and/or if the word is bad to the ear ex. private parts of the body, swear, or a word that may offend someone without the intention of doing so hence they replace the letters with the asterisk. I don't think it is a sign of disrespect. Just my views.
We all know the normal usage of asterisk is used to mark words for reference or distinction or to indicate a hypothetical form or to fillup space in a line where somethng is omitted. But *** are used by some in making informal letters. This is not used in the corporate letters or correspondences.
Sorry out of topic again...

Hi Iye... i typed the word a_r_s_e (hope this doesn't get edited) but when I posted it, the asterisks appear... that was what I meant... people using the a_r_s_e icon to make the statement "funny" or make it seem funny or under the guise of a joke.... Thanks for the lecture on asterisk... reminded me of the business writing training programs and grammar workshops that I facilitate ages ago. *sigh* I miss those days...Sometimes using the asterisk in a word means that the person wants to convey on something that should be taken lightly and/or if the word is bad to the ear ex. private parts of the body, swear, or a word that may offend someone without the intention of doing so hence they replace the letters with the asterisk.

I am following this thread and I am very sad deep down in my heart. Why not each one of us will try to "RESPECT" each person OPINION and RELIGION in that way, we can still have peace and harmonious relationship as brothers and sisters in the forum. We are ONE big HAPPY family. Now, peace everyone!!!
you're very much welcome Florge.ohhh... okay. thanks for the explanation...

I got it. I saw the icons. That is the same case happened when i reply to a post and by seconds it was deletedHi Iye... i typed the word a_r_s_e (hope this doesn't get edited) but when I posted it, the asterisks appear... that was what I meant... people using the a_r_s_e icon to make the statement "funny" or make it seem funny or under the guise of a joke.... Thanks for the lecture on asterisk... reminded me of the business writing training programs and grammar workshops that I facilitate ages ago. *sigh* I miss those days.... Some use Icons to replace words if we are not sure if it will be undestood or would be taken seriously by the reader and i'ts ok if you saw them there posted at the same time but it is a sign of disrespect or shall i say the person is just messing around if she changes the words to icons or deletes the post she just put there once she read the reply to her post and she can't defend the statements she just posted.
