I use "owned" "woot" and one or two others in real life, but I started as a joke, and now it's a regular part of my vocabulary, hehe. I use other pieces of netspeak when speaking, too, but as a joke or to annoy people. Hehe.

I have said woot before, but people look at me strange so I stopped doing that.

"Woot" is a regular vocabulary word around here, thanks to my trend-setting younger sister. She got half the high school doing it about two years ago, and now it's pretty much (according to her) widespread around the whole area - we're talking all four local high schools, and not a few of the college students. Woot for trend-setters!

umaeril How can you say "btw" in RL? o_O It would sound like you are spitting out seeds. When I say it, I say it like "beady-dub." I say "lol" (read: lawl) all the time, whenever people get angry at it, I say "Oh, I just felt like making up a new definition to 'loll'."

Like the British are so much better? How do you pronounce "Gloucestershire", eh? An American would pronounce it "glau-sess-ter-shy-er," employing every vowel and every consonant. And that's just one example. *laughs maniacally* ...... stare

But shire isn't pronounced shy-err when it makes up part of a place name, it's pronounced sherr and there's no pont saying sess when the two sounds are so close. So using that as a basis it should be pronounced: Glo-ster-sherr. We invented the name, we choose how to pronounce it. razz
