Forums - General Discussion - Who else is sick of the word "err"?

Jay520 on 15 March 2013

Looking through the OP again, I'm pretty sure the OP is trolling and/or isn't serious.

- "Also, some cultues, like the French, can't make the "r" sound due to biological inconsistencies." 

Biological inconsistencies? What does that even mean? 

- "I'm sick and tired of seeing people use this disgusting word almost every single day. What is this? Is this some sort of UK or Canadian lingo? I wouldn't be surprised if it was. They don't say this in America."

- "Ethnocentrism needs to stop!"

Clear contradiction with those two quotes.

And to top it off with these two:

"It sounds like a constipated pirate or something. "

"*No offence to people who have a mental condition that forces them to type everything they say, including verbal pauses. "

Here, he's clearly not being serious as he dives into making jokes.

 

These seems like something man-bear-pig would make.

To err is human; to forgive, divine.

Wtf why do people think this was me? I can barely be bothered to type a few words here these days, nevermind a rant about err.

I am more sick of this attitude which can be found all over the internet.

 

"America" is not the center of the universe. Deal with it.

SHUT UP! YOU WOULDN'T BE HERE IF MERICANS DIDN'T INVENT THE INTERNET!

Why does that keep on happening? Damn invisible users.

I hate the word like. It has become the new "eh" and is used in the wrong context all the time. People say "i was like oh my god". No. You were not like oh my god, you said oh my god you retard. Also theres "you have like 10 minutes" No I have 10 minutes you retard. What is like 10 minutes? If you mean 9 minutes say 9 minutes. Seriously listen to people and how they speak and how much the word like is used.

A ghost with legs who writes posts? Err, I mean eww...



TeddostheFireKing on 16 March 2013

My friends have a go at me in real life for saying err too much, however that's because I say it virtually all the time xD

I don't even realise I'm saying it most of the time, it's just something that comes out when I'm putting together a response to something somebody said :P

It sounds like a constipated pirate or something. Seriously, usage of this word needs to be a bannable offence. 

The verbal pause "uhh" or umm" or the hybrid "uhm" should be embranced. It's much more neutral as the sound isn't as distinct, as verbal pauses should be, and thus much more effective (and less affective).

Also, some cultues, like the French, can't make the "r" sound due to biological inconsistencies. So when a person just out of the blue says "err" it's like they're just trying to insult French people for no reason. They're not even making a point! They're just making the "r" sound specifically to target French. Ethnocentrism needs to stop!

Furthermore, why the fuck are you using verbal on the internet to begin with? Verbal pauses are avoided in real life, yet they are embraced on the internet. The fuck? Please, stop with the verbal pauses altogether; just type the words you want to say.*

*No offence to people who have a mental condition that forces them to type everything they say, including verbal pauses. 

Please Stop it. 

I've never heard "err"  but thats because I am not in an English speaking country.  I heard uhm alot (tv shows etc)   I also say Ehm (which exactly sounds like uhm but is the German equivalent)

I also dont understand why people would use "uhm" in forums etc.  The only time I use "uhm" is when I want to say something like this:

"Uhm.... Nooo?!" (ment as a "more sarcastic?" version of  "of course not")  <- does this make any sense?
 
Thats it.

When I want to have  "pauses" in my comments I usually use .......


I know that people saying errr etc can be annoying because there is also several "mutations" in German.

Boah! (which can be translated into English wow/damn but is still different sry I dunno how to describe it lol)
and alot of people say 
Boar! (what the f* has wow to do with boars/wild pigs???)

I also dont like when Germans mutate foreign words like:
Hey!
and then the write it like:
Hee! 

I know those are silly first world problems but its still annoying and makes you wonder if people are dumb on purpose lol.
