It's like elite. Used by hackers and Internet heros.
I'm just happy people still know what the OED is!!!
Great post, Elwin.
I'm with you 100% on #1.
I'm guilty of #2. I simply can't resist calling someone out when they post "your an idiot".
#3 and #4 nearly made me spit out my coffee.

Don't feel bad, I guess I'm guilty of that as well. I HATE it when I see 'your' in the place of 'you're'. They mean different things and change the context of yourstatement dangit! That and the people that can't seem to figure out the differences between There, Their, and They're... *eye-roll* ... jeez this is 4th grade English folks!
Ok, done being an ... for now. *sweet smile*
Oh dear...I work with someone who not only uses the incorrect forms of those words, but sometimes can't even write a complete, intelligible sentence. What makes it worse is that he insists that you don't need comprehension skills to read and write.

1) being a total newbie and stumbling on to ECF and not understanding anything people are talking about. Then after researching terminology and such finding out just enough to feel sorta ok about trying out a certain starter kit. Find another thread bashing that kit you were about to try. Get a headache. Finally deciding to buy the darn kit anyway.
2) After a month of successful vaping, and giving up the cigarettes returning to the general discussions of ECF feeling really confident that NOW you can surely keep up with all the chatter and terminology to learn and share interesting methods and products, etc. Only to realize your headache is back, eyes are glazed over and that glowing ball of confidence you had in your belly is now gone. Knowing that you misunderstood some things and totally have no idea what some other things even are.
3) Hoping that no one remembers those first few posts you made because now the questions you asked did not even make sense

LOL. Good one.I have a suggestion for those that don't like to use the term e-cigarette, or PV. I suggest we designate our devises as Electronic Nicotine Delivery System or "ENDS." It would accurately describe what the devise is and allow for open dialog about it's benefits. For instance: We could explain that we are trying to quit smoking and this has been very helpful in that endeavor. "The ENDS justifies the means." Show people that there is no smoke, and no nasty odor. Then tell them, Our ENDS don't smell. WE have no Ifs, ands or butts, just ENDS. I think that you get the idea. Just a thought.
Still [slightly] craving an "analog", "stinky", "cig" after 8 months smoke-free even though I know I would hate it if I tried it. Tastes bad I'm sure. They smell. Yet..... Bah. I'll get over it <vape vape vape>.
Great posts gang.
