Ok, so I don't really play games online much, and I have a question to you all. I keep getting messaged by people and I have no idea what the hell they are talking about. For example, take 1234ghostcarter:

Read from the bottom up.

thats my exgang our gang is better if u think ur boss is on the same level ur own

thats not good at all homie i didnt meant o beat u up ut think

Ok the first dozen words I can decipher, but seriously what the hell is going on here? And this is only the tip of the iceberg. Litterally almost all of the messages are this bad. I know this is supposed to be a prison and convicts are not exactly known for their intellect, but when this 'cool' text message lingo is so bad that nobody understands each other, it becomes rendered inefficient and defeats the entire purpose of shortening words down to phonetic spelling. Maybe I am an elitest, but this is fucking absurd.

As somebody who studies sociology, I am curious. How many of the people on here do you think are:

 

  • Illiterate or partly illiterate
 

  • English is not thier first language (the only acceptable excuse) 
 

  • Are under the age of 8
 

  • Or are actually playing this from their 'real life' prison cell

If you don't like the way they talk you can always just block them instead of making a thread about it.
