I received an email today that reads:
Hye! Mornink miz sumbunk, chat kew?
ry ari2 x blk kg kew?
npew lm x ctt?
eh kg u katnew ek?
u stay ktna skunk?
Good Lord!!! As much as I love deciphering codes, I had hard time reading that. Can somebody please translate that?
YES!! AT LAST I MET SOMEONE YG HAD HARD TIME READING THIS KIND OF NOTE/MSG.
ReplyDeleteI bukan susah nak baca je mila... I HATE ORG YG BG MSG ADA 'EW' DLM WORDS... this is rempit style ok... u nak hantar msg kat minah or mamat rempit ok la mcm ni... sikit2 mana yg patut dah la kan utk meringkaskan, JGN LA MEMENINGKAN. kalau i, i x hingin pun baca inikan pulak nak reply. lantak kau la kata sombong ke apa... podah!
"Hye! Morning miss sombong, nak chat ke?
ReplyDeleteRaya hari tu tak balik kampung ke?
kenapa lama tak *error 404*?
eh kampung you kat mana eh? You stay di mana sekarang?"
Gosh, took me around 10 minutes to decipher it, but the 'ctt' got me thinking..
i hate sms languages. haha
gosh that made me twitch. i truly loath these abomination to written language. it's understandable to shorten the stuff but the 'ews' and 'unk' and annoying tone that play in my head reading this...
ReplyDeletethe really bad thing is that i find this in technical forums as well.
darn it's annoying.
Skutz, Chan & Tea,
ReplyDeleteAnnoying kan? Ni semua perasan french lah agaknya. Using alphabets lavishly. Like nak kemaner, sikit jer, yer ker... Goodness gracious! Nak baca pun sakit dada.
If it is used for smses i could understand the limited characters offered on the screen. But this was freakin email. Unlimited pages and characters. Kedekut sungguh nak type penuh penuh kan? Grrrr....
And oh! by the way... Thanks Chan for the translation :P you're good, you're really good.
Be rest assured that I text in full. No shortcuts and no "x" or ler or any of those words that you would at least take 1 hour to decipher. I even type of Thank You instead of just TQ :)
ReplyDeleteI think "npew lm x ctt?" translates to "kenapa lama tak chat?" perhaps? :))
It tickles me to a contented chuckle, really! Hihi! So geli I'd say.
ReplyDeleteSalam, came here from Sir Pok Deng. I once received an sms from a nephew and took a few hours before I could totally understand the message. I'd tear my hair out if I receive another one like this.
ReplyDeleteKak Teh & SPD. I'm glad there are people sharing my sentiment. Welcome by the way Kak Teh, nothing much in here thou.
ReplyDeleteLove, ctt chat ke? I have never chatted with him. He mustav got the wrong person I suppose.
