People who add a ton of vowels to every text / IM / email

like "see u sooooooon" and "i'm heeeeeeere" and "where u aaaaaaat?"
mostly girls as a kind of kawaii affectation and it don't bug me but i've been seeing it a LOT more among women in their 20's and 30's just lately and i dunno if this is a nyt trend or what.

fat fingers stuck on the keys iirc

Fran Drescher?

They are signalling you that they are actually in the midst of a fall from a great height. Show some empathy.

My 15-year-old nephew does this w/his FB statuses. He just got back from 10 days in the hospital yesterday and posted "Hommeeeeee at last!!!!!!!!!! ((: i love my bed and room!!!(:" Ugh.

He's a homie at last.

first world problems

"Going home tomorrow i hopeeee."

So who AAAAAAAAAARE that insufferable indie couple in the neeeeew Hyundai TV aaaaaaaaads?

As Phil has pointed out tho, those whom usually do this are sort of oblivious to the concept of elongating vowels actually making sense.

^ yeah this is what gets me

this is the point in the thread where the phrase "disgusting savages" usually goes.

ulp Guilty but only where I would draw out or or emphasize the word if it were spoken aloud. Like, "Reeeeeally?" in a disbelieving way that ends on a lower tone.

I ran over an ooooooooooooooooopossum in my car

this is a girl thing tho' right? i don't know guys who do this. maybe kids, but no one over the age of 20.

i do this in some ilx posts

I think it's fineeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I'm really fucking drunk and can't pull the jewel case of Wilco's "A Ghost Is Born" out of the cardboard sleeve

Goddamn it, why no easy access, Tweeeeeedy??

. . . is this a sign that the album blows? or is it really great?

loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool

maybe ur right, i feel like this is fine w/ consonts. but mfing awful w/ vowels

Gonna take a guess and say that since it "became cool" to not capitalize & such it seems near bizarre to type what would usually go in caps when you can just hold down on the letter key for a little more while than usual. If that made sense.

It's just that caps have been so often associated w/ BEING REALLY FUCKING ANGRY that it seems the whole trend bore out of wanting to accentuate something without looking like it was emotionally driven nor leaving that air of "absolute chillness" that one tends to associate with a relaxed dude/chick lazily typing on their computer with indifference for what THE MAN/TEACHER says they should do with how they letter things. If that made sense.

As Phil has pointed out tho, those who usually do this are sort of oblivious to the concept of elongating vowels actually making sense.

hah i do this but i am always q pedantic about which letter i massively reduplicate and so have, in truth, spent significant seconds of typing time thinking over whether 'hooooooooooooooooome' is correct or not.

kelpolaris, that actually makes A LOT of sense.

but i hear it every time like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orOdMu6fuZQ

i am a male and i do this from time to time. deeeefinitely disgusting savagery of the highest order to do it in ways that don't make sense though, and yeah on occasions i've spent far too long thinking through how to do it right. (if the occasion arose for an elongated 'home' i'd probably end up resorting to teary resignation and refraining entirely. maybe try to find another word to elongate instead.)

might try incorporating this into my posting style

what the fuck is wrong with ilx today

live and let liiiiiive u foools

i am a male

might try incorporating this into my posting style

all is one ~_~

I always thought it was used to express excitement or cheeriness into dry texts where you otherwise wouldn't be able to decipher the tone. Obviously there are better ways to do it but thats how I've seen it (over) used.

My 18-year-old female cousin on FB:

I loooooove when girls think they're awesome and they talk shit like they know everything when in actuality they know nothingggg. PAAAAATHETIC.

Is there a "liiiiiiiiike" option?

thiiiiis keeeeeps haaaaaaaapeniiiiiing toooo meeeeeee
