Incase your referring to my "Insomnia is suck" thread, I found that quite humorous, but then again, anything seems funny atm.

sbastedo,

I'm with you. The "is suck" thing is annoying. It reminds me of the "all your bases are belong to us" crap, which is equally annoying imho. If you can't type in proper english, don't bother.

That's just my $0.02.

Whatever, you guys is suck. It's OK to say it here because it belongs to AT. AYB is totally different, that thing was EVERYWHERE.

<< you made a thread to complain about internet slang? thats stupid. quit saying WTF fanboy. >>

No, WTF is perfectly fine, because it is simply an abbreviation of normal spoken language. In contrast, "is suck" is a grammatically-incorrect phrase that no self-respecting, english-speaking human should use. :D LOL

Dude, "is suck" makes no sense. In no definition of the word is it an adjective, it's a VERB, people. It's not like it's any easier to say or type either, it actually takes longer. So, what is the point?

betetr than "All your base are belong to us!"

90% of people have no clue where that is from. If you know, then you are allowed to use it. If you use in my presence, and I ask you where it is from, and you do not know, I will stab you with a spork.

Man that was a nice runon sentance.

You lay bare, for any with eyes to see, a deep and abiding property of the conditioned mind. Like religious zelots and partiots of old and the story of the willow and the oak, you demonatrate a common reflex exhibited by the trained automaton. 'Is suck' is not a part of your mental programing, a programming you paid for dearly in terms of pain and suffering, a programming you were forced to accept on pain of death, all of which you have forgotten, by the way, but to which now, you have welded yourself like a handle to a blade and stand braced as a living exponent. 'Is suck' is not gramatical, it violates the rules of speach. I mastered speach, I got rewarded for good speach. How dare you sir, userper of the tongue, try to claim standing for your haresy.

In the history of human evolution we have been dragged kicking and screaming from the occassional well timed grunt to....well, to poetry. Pleas stop being such a retrograde antibackass and bend like the willow. Remember that your adversion to 'is suck' is suck. Suck it up. Know that in any grouping of individuals, even such as we have here on Anandtech, there will form an indefinable social bond that has as one of its inevitable characteristics, a home grown, ingrown patois born out on a primordial urge to belong. I hope I make myself clear. :D

edited for spelling. Yea right.
