It is not he he he! Damnit!

xa xa xa = ha ha ha

Or is it hah hah hah?
Or haa haa haa?

How about would of, could of and should of?

It’s would HAVE, could HAVE and should HAVE!

Hah hah hah,
haa haa haa,
And a couple of tra la la’s . . .

(I watched ye olde Wizard of Oz three times last weekend, so pardon me . . .)

This thread looks like someone loaded a shotgun with ha ha and he he loads then stood back and started firing away.

In America, it may be judgment, but not to the civilized world in general.:wink: That word came up in a 9th grade spelling list, and I still remember the discussion I had with the (American) teacher. My (British) family’s main arguement was that, if you leave out the first e, that leaves the g hard and turns judgment into a 3-syllable word – jud’-ig-ment. If you put the e in, that softens the g and leaves judgement a two syllable word – juj’-ment. The compromise we reached was it wouldn’t be considered a mistake if I used “judgement” in essays, so long as I spelled it “judgment” on spelling test. So, until I see a spelling test around here, I’ll keep spelling it my way, and I will not amend my behaviour.

Now, please don’t get me started on people who misspell “hypocrisy” lest I become a complete hypocrite.

Also, how do you spell an evil laugh?

Waiting for the punch line . . .

That reminds me of one chat room I was in a few months ago. When you typed in “haha,” it would produce a laughing sound. As far as I know, that’s the only sound it ever made, though.

What about “coz”? That’s what Spoz uses all the time; He also does funny things like “wuz” for “was,” “anywaze” for “anyways,” “sort’ve” for “sort of,” inserts extra “Z” 's into certain words, and other things like that. I don’t mind that he uses them, but if anyone else does, that starts to get a little grating. Thank goodness nobody else I know quite types like that. Heck, he writes in the same careless disregard as he speaks, which is cool with me. :slight_smile:

F_X

Well, Flammi, ya kin type in dialect, ya know, so’z to imitate the sort of thing y’d hear if the person was talking raight atcha instead of just typing it on a keyboard.

But for the most part people find a little of that to go a looooooong way. :slight_smile:

Hee hee hee is good.
Heh heh heh is good.
But here’s the kicker.
Hehehe is good, too. :wink:

Hee hee hee is a giggle, like others have said. Heh heh heh is a slow, sly chuckle. Hehehe is a rapid, low chuckle, sort of like machinegun fire. I believe the word is staccato, though I could be wrong. Heh heh heh and hehehe are two distinct sounds, in any case.

Really. ‘Hehehe’ nonsense? You people. Tch. [sub][sup]Or is it tsk? Muhuhuahaha…[/sub][/sup]:smiley:

That reminds me of a memo we got from one of our corporate bigwigs, who claimed that the company had made a “conscience decision” to do something. I bet the spell checker was to blame for that, too.

Okay, I’ll deliver.

A-N E-V-I-L L-A-U-G-H.

You can go go to sleep now.

Oddly enough, I’ll type “heheheh” as a snicker, because “hehhehheh” just looks wrong, and it’s said all at once - not like a bad Ralph Kramden impression. Heh. Heh.

Though “hee hee” is certainly different, and “hehehe” is missing the last h that makes it a string of "heh"s and not "he"s.

Woulda, coulda, shoulda.

re affect and effect:

I once worked with a programmer who was quite smart. In college he had at first majored in linguistics. He once started to expound on how most people got “affect” and “effect” mixed up. Unfortunately, he had mixed them up, too. I gently pointed that out to him, and he got very embarrassed.

Oh, and Cranky: here, here! :smiley:

We gotta grow the business. Living things grow, not a fucking bidness, asshole.

It’s really ARRRRRRRRRRGH.

Thank you SO much for not yelling out “Band name!” Please, Lord, let this be the start of a new trend.

I have a dictionary full of words written in uppercase with accents intact, from ABÂTARDIR to ZYGOPÉTALE, that says you’re wrong.

So books written in French are fucked - what’s new?

Oh my gosh. I totally missed that one. Sorry about that.

never mind…

I’ve said it befor. I don’t remember who said it but you should never let grammer (or spelling) get in the way of what you want to say !! I’m not using my computer (at homme) and I don’t even know where the spelling checker is.

Did I miss an “e” in there some where ??
