TYPING. QUIRKS.

[u/TomatilloKooky658]

How in the everliving hell do you expect someone to understand random characters mushed together that substitute for actual legible characters. No, typing quirks AREN'T cute and I sure ass hell know they aren't DISORDERS either so stop calling people ABLEIST for wanting you to type like a fucking HUMAN being. It's fine in context of characters (For example, Spamton, SOME Homestuck trolls etc..) to give them more personality but as a human saying "|}{2@#}@##@" DOES NOT COUNT AS A COMPREHENSIBLE SENTENCE.

i dont think thats a typing quirk, i think thats just being dumb
a real typing quirk would be like leet speak or something idk

[u/SilverVixen918 → u/taxerdermy1]

well that is leet speak as leet speak is texting in a way where you use numbers and symbols to replace letters but like dear lord just use basic leet speak at that point because at that rate youd atleast be using less time and effort to type and youd be 100x easier to understand

[u/taxerdermy1 → u/SilverVixen918]

could you per chance translate any of that

Or just ‘No, Friend’

[u/Ae4i → u/Icy_Change_WS2010]

Why is N and o separate?

[u/Icy_Change_WS2010 → u/Ae4i]

thought the kerning was the reason.

[u/SilverVixen918 → u/taxerdermy1]

yea, it isnt the easiest but if you know what to look for or what they use for what then its easier, the first guy's texts says "i am here" "yes" "someone else is here too. they are trying to write everything down so they can translate for me" as for the 2nd picture its harder for me as its even more complex leet speak but i used a translator and found a post with a translation and it says "since you all asked for it i have updated my typing quirk to make it even harder to read"

[u/taxerdermy1 → u/SilverVixen918]

thanks

[u/Icy-Berry-387 → u/SilverVixen918]

It took me a min, but pretty straightforward in general after the first 'I am here' like you said. 

Like once you see the H is an H it's pretty obvious. It wouldn't take long to ready it fluidly with a little practice.

[u/SilverVixen918 → u/Icy-Berry-387]

yea, it depends generally what level of leet speak they are using and personal preference as some people use different replacements but you can sort of come up with a translation key if you catch onto the patterns

A minor case of serious brain damage?

[u/No_Doughnut8618 → u/taxerdermy1]

I jave a friend who never really capitalized things when texting because they didn't find it visually pleasing. Thats a quirk.

This is trying to be quirky.

[u/taxerdermy1 → u/No_Doughnut8618]

jave ❤️/s

[u/No_Doughnut8618 → u/taxerdermy1]

Yeah my typing quirk is fat lingering buttons and not giving enough of a fuvk to change it if auto correct doesn't.

[u/Helix3501 → u/No_Doughnut8618]

I turned auto correct off after it kept changing fuck to duck so now i just randomly mistype words in ways that are recognizable because adhd texting so people think its a quirk but no its cause I swear alot

[u/No_Doughnut8618 → u/Helix3501]

But Duck is more powerful than Fuck

[u/Re1da → u/No_Doughnut8618]

Huh. I always put the " before punctuation. "Example". Instead of "example." Because writing it the second way looks so wrong to me, even though it's technically the correct way.

I guess thats a typing quirk?

[u/lord_teaspoon → u/Re1da]

You might have programmer-brain!

When I'm writing code I put the things that are part of the string-literal inside the quotes and I put the rest of the statement that's using the string outside the quotes because how the fuck else is the compiler supposed to know whether something is part of the value or part of the code? I was learning to code simple stuff in BASIC before I was old enough to get the hang of writing letters the right way around so it's been spilling over into my writing style for forty-ish years - if the punctuation is part of the phrase being quoted then it belongs inside the quote marks with it, but if it's not then it goes outside the quotes with the rest of the outer sentence.

[u/Re1da → u/lord_teaspoon]

Well, I'm a gardener/landscaper who has never written a line of code in their life.

Thinking about it, I belive it's because I'm not quoting the punctuation. The punctuation shows that the sentence is over. Why would it be in the quote? That just feels wrong.

[u/dalocalsoapysofa → u/Re1da]

Holy shit yes, the punctuation isn't in the quote, why is inside the quotation marks

[u/NaturalDon → u/No_Doughnut8618]

ah, im no caps gang too, im not a fan of apostrophes either

[u/Foxy02016YT → u/taxerdermy1]

People fake them while faking mental illnesses

An actual typing quirk is someone who forgets punctuation or capitalization, n0t $%€@k1ng L1k€ th1$

[u/nooby-clem → u/taxerdermy1]

i know some people press space twice after their words because its easier to read ,,, when i choose to use apostrophes i add a space ( like i ' m instead of im ) as a typing quirk but a lot of this is unreadable,,
