Ur.

[So]

Ur is a city in Mesopotamia, It is not an acceptable abbreviation for either "you are" or "your", god dammit.

I await a flood of replies in which people try to confuse me as to whether they are discussing Mesopotamian history or they are simply so lazy that they are not willing to press 2-4 extra keys and not look like a mouth-breathing troglodyte.

"2-4 extra keys?"

If you're talking about a numeric keypad, touch-screen keyboard, or mobile qwerty keyboard...that's pretty significant.

Any abbreviation that you can understand is acceptable. If ur bitching about an abbreviation that you had no trouble discerning the meaning of every time you saw it, then ur just bitching for the sake of bitching.

Abbreviating like that is only acceptable when trying to cram as much into a txt as you can. Any other time, it just shows people you're a moron. The one I hate the most is neway. Fuckin' seriously?! That extra letter, and proper spelling is that much of a hardship?? Assholes...

This.

Yes, it's obvious what is meant by "ur".

However, anyone who gives the slightest amount of a shit about spelling and grammar assumes you're stupid when they read it, even if you aren't.

If that's not a big deal, carry on :thumbsup:

Isn't it ironic that when Christmas is abbreviated to Xmas Christ is replaced by a Cross?

When I saw the name of this topic, I was excited. I thought this would be a serious discussion of the of the ancient Mesopotamian city, as well as other early city-states in Sumeria. Needless to say, I was slightly disappointed.

Ur was the city Abram (Abraham) left because God told him that the land of Canaan was for him and his descendents.

Babylonian Ur architecture was fairly impressive for the period, though it didn't rival Egypt. Uruk is also an interesting city, notable for it being the home of king Gilgamesh. If you look at the Sumerian king lists, on which Gilgamesh appears a little later on in time of the dynasty, you see the reigns of the early kings span in hundreds of years. The lifetimes of later kings, though, is greatly shortened.

And so the era of assholes began: It's mine because my God said so!

Anyway, i hate that crap, too. I don't care if it's a text or whatever, I won't read it if you type like an idiot.

The worst, however, is seeing that shit in subtitles. The garbage that comes out of Bollywood is the worst offender in my experience. They often replace "you" with "u," and do the whole "ur" thing.

seriously...wtf? How do you expect people to learn a new language if you don't care to know it yourself? Generally, I see that as simply another part of the fact that every part of the production involved in an individual Bollywood flick is completely devoid of intelligence or substantial content.
