One actually suggests you use an entirely different word, with an entirely different meaning to mean something else?

I must also add, in many years ive never seen these ever used in this capacity.

This thread is about COMMON shortenings and abbreviations. I personally do not like any of them, but they are absolutely prevalent in this game. I was dumbfounded hearing these. Again, this thread is not a dictionary, it is just a tiny list of the very most common shortenings commonly used in this game. A raised eyebrow googly eyes "o_O" certainly is one such thing. Are there a million variations? Yup. Are the others used in this game? Nope. :shrug: Are any of them linguistically correct? #$@& no. So what? All the more reason to list them somewhere relevant.

If you don't turn on [+] a large portion of players can't hear you.

Noob

It is spelled "n00b" with a lower case "N" and zeros instead of the letter of the alphabet.

Aye, but to include them on the list also encourages one to use them.
Plus those are not common shortenings, they are common mispellings. There is a difference.

Just because some show POOR etiquette does not mean the rest of us should acknowledge it.

The um...Ex. I have won tree sven zero gold left.
Well....I can use numbers 11 and higher without them saying arr or not showing up on my chat.
Are there that many limited access palyers?
Sorry but it seems as if numbers work fine for me because I'm unlimited access.
But good idea to use that for basic access members.
I'd use that if I was a basic access member.

Some accounts have restricted chat access based on age/parental controls.

This has nothing to do with basic vs unlimited.
