lol
Good for you hehe...
But then again, a slang can become a proper word when being used all the time/by popularity... Say for example the term Gaydar... was quiet surprised when I found out that it's a proper word (I guess it's about less than 15years old)!!! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaydar
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/gaydar

You can boast to your grannies about that...terms you know that they dont know lol ah well, pardon me, i'm just very random! lol

So where were we?

It's OK if we occasionally use slang in our day-to-day conversations, most people all over the world use slang daily and frequently.
Besides, we can use slang here in this forum at times as we have Mr. Toks (Piamed) to help us out with his very eloquent words, sentences and phrases.

I love reading his posts as they are, IMO, correct in grammar and full of words that I enjoy a lot.
I spend my life often in despair at the poor spelling I see all around me and have to take my hat off to people whose command of my native language is superior to my own

It is also important to note that native English speakers on this forum should be kind to those who come from the Philippines and/or any other country for that matter.
It shows great determination and a strong will to post in a language that is not their original mother tongue.
More power to their keyboards!

mostly only gay people use the word gaydar so becareful when you use it?

TOKS is very eloquent indeed!


To add for more slang terms:
GOOGLE is a verb in the dictionary!!

you could use some English grammar lessons yourself, Mrs. JMajor or whoever you are

.....and you could do with some manners on a public forum, and reading the rules.

Now every single post you make will be scrutinized by everyone here for any spelling, typo's, grammar, etc, so don't moan when we all gang up on you.
