THE, not TEH!

What the hell is the deal with a certain few SDMB members who consistently spell ‘the’ as ‘teh’? Probably this is some sort of subconscious physiologically ingrained typo, but it pisses me off. Any fellow teh-haters out there? Or teh-folk who would like to try to justify their torture of the English language?

Welcome aboard, mate! Always good to see someone who makes an effort to make a good first impression :rolleyes:

That’s all the response you need. Sometimes a typo is just a typo.

Welcome to the SDMB, by the way.

I know I type it “teh” instead of “the” because I’m trying to get a post through on my computer before my henious boss finds out I’m using the internet on “his” time. Typing fast just interverts the characters.

Hope I have no typos in this one…

I dunno–people so used to Microsoft Word correcting it for them that they don’t realize they’ve typed it wrong?

I know what he’s talking about. There are teh occasional exceptions. But, there are those that insist on typing teh over and over again. Not to name names but I know who you are.
But i gotta second. Dude, couldn’t you think of a better first post.

I think its a common mistake due to speed of typing…

if you want to bitch, what about using: ‘ur’ instead of your, you’re - whatever. Or ‘u’ instead of ‘you’.
ACK!

NO! NO! NO! Please, anything but that! I beg of you!

Damn it Kelli ! U no I hate it u u do that. R U trying to be kewl ? :: don’t kill me please Kelli, I hate that stuff too, but I had to mess with you today :smiley: ::

And pardon me new person but we already have a Satan, he is the only Satan I will call Great or Satan for that matter.
So shall I call you Mr6 ?

Dew ewe halve udder compliants? Whey u right tehm, sew oui sea tehm two!

Now, what is teh major problem? Mr. 6?

Umm, this guy has a “funny” name, his 1st post is in the PIT, and he starts off by attacking some established poster, as if he has known him for a while. Hmmm… Yep- DNFTT

Its me!!! It’s me!!! I knew I would get recognition for something besides my slutty ways!!!

And might I add: 2 for “two” or “to”
and 4 for, well “for”

AnD tYpInG LiKe ThIs Is So FrEaKiNg AnNoYiNg!!!

I do the “teh” thing all the time, but I always try to correct it. It’s just a typo.

Daniel, I’m ashamed! You should not assume taht teh OP is anything but teh newest newbie to grace us here in teh pit. Teh fact taht you would jump to such conclusions is disturbing to me and, I would assume, teh rest of teh SDMB posters. I demand taht you take it back right now before I have to call upon teh netiquette police. Shame on you.*
*Teh above post is saturated with sarcasm. Daniel, I sincerely hope taht you do not take me seriously.

Hmm, where to begin…

I was not attacking any particular established poster, as you implied. (Well, I guess I am now…) I plead guilty to being a newbie. But I think it’s natural to have a gripe for a first post. After all, it’s easier to bitch than it is to be original.

My “funny” name: well, there’s a short, probably boring, story behind it which I’ll spare you from reading right now.

As far as ‘Do Not Feed The Troll’… well, you can examine my posting record and judge for yourself.

Wait, damn, maybe that’s not such a good idea. I guess I’ll have to distinguish myself in further posts. :slight_smile:

I hate it when people misspell “tongue” as “tounge”. I want to pronounce it towndge.

If he was really a “newbie” then he would not even know what DNFTT means. Heck, being in the SCA, when I 1st came here, I thought a 'troll" was a GOOD thing. Besides if he is a newbie, then why is he griping about something here that he has seen too often- yeah, right, like once. Nope, I still stand by my former “ruling”= DNFTT*
ooop, damn it, just did, sigh. :smiley:

Or a lurker, perhaps?

Hmmmmm, let’s see if he floats.

Daniel, get a fucking grip. Some people actually lurk here for awhile before registering and posting. And if he did lurk he has every right to post a pet peeve about this board, or any other board.
Do you think he woke up, rolled out of bed, hopped on the net, randomly found the SDMB somehow, registered, and posted all before breakfast?
And another thing, just because you were so dense you didn’t know what a “troll” was does not mean he is that stupid.

And, if he is a troll, and his banned in the next few days, then I will humbley stand corrected.

Dittodat.
