Its a dumb topic but it really has been bothering me for a while. Anyway here it goes.

Whats with the word "ish." Like some people say "ish all good" when you can just say "it's all good." You are still using three letters so its not like your shortening it up for some other word you dont feel like typing out. Plus it sounds stupid. Is there really a need for this slang when it isn't needed, or is this some type of fad word so we can all feel really freakin cool. I dunno I am a white guy so I use "it's" not "ish." I guess I am too much into grammer, but its so stupid.

Imagine typing a research paper and replacing all the "it's" with "ish". Your teacher would shit a brick!!! Hell I would if I saw it. So yea I am done ranting and raving for today. I think I will make this a tradition from now on for the Losers Club. Once a week I am gonna rant and rave on whats gotten me hyped up. So yea...

No, actually, it'd be "it's".. not "its"... "its" is possessive. Example: This is its home.

So technically you have to put the apostrophe... but yeah, it's still annoying.

You can also use "ish" to replace the word "Shit" For example, "Thas some hot ish right thurr."

I've never seen people type "ish" but I don't pay much attention anyway, so that's ok. One thing I don't like or understand is alternating caps. It takes forever to type them, so why waste your time making something harder to read?

have you noticed that alot of people go through a phase where they swear they will type gramatically correct from now on (i.e. on AIM for example) .. and then a few hours later its back to this 'ish' 'dat' 'lyke' nonsense. lol

I always that "ish" meant "sh**". pooh.gif Because the media always blurred it out and by playing the word backwards it sounds like "ish". Whatever, I really don't give a ish.

MAN I remember iw ent through that phase (6/7th grade) because of that whole "Azn Pride" crap that went around... lol well I mean I'm azn and all, but you know, we all went through that phase and I'm glad i'm out of it. LoL Then after Azn Pride it reverted back to the "gangsturr" stage... eek can't believe that's still going on >_<

Okay so back to the topic. Yes, Ish is annoying. I like how ppl use it for "sh*t" beucase it shoulds funny (in a cool way) for ppl to say "ISH" in place of sh*t..

Okay, to tell you guys the truth, I use ish in my writing at school. Like.. if you can't describe something right.. you know? Like.. its dorkish. I mean, its not dorky and its not not dorky.. its in the middle you know?

But I guess you're talking about that ish part.. I used to do that when I was new the the World Wide Web World. pinch.gif But yeah, it does get annoying when people type shortcuts for me..

That's one of my internet pet peeves. I try to bite my (online?) tongue whenever I see these "cute" ways of typing.. A little bit is okay, but when the person uses it for practically every word in the sentence, I just want to kick them. I wonder why they do that...

I know people that you 'ish' for the word shit, but I've never heard it used instead of it's. I usually only use it when I tell people a time to be somewhere, like 7:30ish.

I use it because it's a cute word. :3 It can be annoying to some, but most of the people I talk to talk all cute-like, and we all think it's a very cute word. Like..

"I ish good!" :3 It makes a sentence cuter, at least to me.. and some others >.> :3
