the overuse of "tbh" on this forum

[hobo]

Life is a ***** isnt it ?

babe you need to calm down with this, it's a little forum debate, nothing to get stressed over.

i find that the semicolon is overused on here, especially in the music forum when stating what you are listening to. GENERALLY SPEAKING, IT'S ANNOYING. i know it's used to make things look neat and tidy, or that it might be a habit, but it's incorrectly used and annoying as hell.

that's the one that ****** me off.
i hate people using it in every bloody sentence or in the song thing.
what was wrong with just writing it like "artist - song name" or w/e, don't see how using a semi colon makes any difference.
it's proper annoying.

This is going a bit off topic but the thing that really gets me is when people don't use or incorrectly use apostrophes, or when they use your to mean you're and so on.

IMHO "imho" or "imo" will be the next internet acronym to come in to wider usage, i mean there all really old school ones anyway, and i tbh, after tbh there aint alot of useful ones to choose form

In all honesty i dont really see whats wrong with em in thereself, true its annoying if people repeatedly use the same phrase, if someone starts every sentance with "to be honest" its just as annoying as starting it with tbh. tbh is just a shorter quicker way to do so, saveing ya from haveing to type unessarly.

So im all for internet acronums, although can see the problem when people start turning in to parrorts "/

Well tbh I find it really annoying allso even though tbh I do like doing it even If I say tbh all the time so tbh its pretty cool imo

/starts rant

Whats with everybody saying tbh like 3 times a sentance now, clearly if your posting you would generally assume they are being honest :S

it's like

"tbh, i think that tbh that room is crap tbh"

*waits for people to say tbh i agree tbh*

/ends rant

I agree.

I agree.

I can stand that but I'll tell you what annoys me... that [&&] crap. Wouldn't it be easier just to type &, plus it would actually make sense aswell. WHY OH WHY?!!?!?!?!!?

I agree.

A sentence that makes me have suicidal thoughts is as follows (usually in the what are you listening to thread):

"tbh i think mcr sucks && they are overplayed.

fftl; emily"

[Foobar]

tbh I think it makes me look; scene && emo.

Your not funny
I call people like you losers with to much time to kill

All internet people overuse it. It's a redundancy, if you're stating your opinion then more often than not you're being honest so you don't need to say it. Unless you're a compulsive liar. Same with "IMO I think" blah blah, if it's in your opinion then it's obviously what you think so you don't need to tell us twice. Semi-colons are not colons, so I don't understand why people use them as such. They separate relative clauses, not a statement or description etc.

I use it occasionally, but really, when people use it in excess I don't notice much now, it's became that common.

[Simmzay]

TBH is personal opinion. It's how you separate someones personal feelings to factual information.

[Gaby]

i didn't notice people use it to much.

i think its lodged into mai brain to which will end the good conspiracy of life which will make all bloggers and internet beezies use more "computer talk"

oh dear...
