Well, you don't see any professional guides or manuals with any sort of swearing.

Because of that, and because there are some younger members here, I think it would be appropriate if we edited some stuff out. It's only a few words, so it shouldn't be too big of a deal.

Why should our government send our soldiers to foreign soil to protect freedom of speech, when our freedom of speech is being taking away everyday by the same government.

Fizz:
quote queller: 'JAA: Jedi Academy Apprentice - Same as padawan only dark side'.. thats why ;)
lol, lmao, and rofl are listed, true all the others arent but I think doing them all would be a bit too much... think these 3 are the most important ones
ysalamari... I have no clue how to spell it actually ;)
And I'll add FU, if I would just know what it meant lol

Well I'll add BBS then and maybe just let RE stay returned?

I don't think "re" means "hi". It's just short for "returned" :)

isnt ysalamari spelled with two s ?

and JAA is for darksiders only.. *cough*

and "re" also means "hi", or is short for "I have returned"
is also short for "regarding, concerning"

hm FU isnt listed, as well as lots of LOL, lmao, rofl etc....

Ruuk: I edited it before you posted that :P
And l33t talk is just so others dont understand what you mean and maybe euh because it looks cool...
Halendor: yeah you got a point there: I wrote it correctly in the dictionary itself so it was basicly a type error :P
And newtius I euh kinda have no clue what DERP means lol;)

I thought maybe he put it there as a joke, since he wrote 'dictionary' correctly in the his post (read the first sentence).

Exar- LOL!!! Oops! Nah, I'm gonna leave it alone. Even I make mistakes sometimes...*brushes lint off shoulders*

Big H- Why, on God's green earth, would you try to make something as simple as "Hello there" into a glass-blowing project? Sheesh! I wouldn't call that 1337-speak...I'd call it...call it...hell, I can't come up with something smart and snappy to call it right now. But when I do, ohhhhhhh boy! Y'all are gonna be in trouble!

Aeth- My point exactly. :)

Newtius- Does someone want to explain what DERP means to an old fart like me?

MoS- Squeal like a pig! (please tell me you get this one...no? Man, do I have to explain EVERYTHING to you? :))

Remember kids, bad grammer, poor saber skills, and inbreeding are no laughing matters.
