I will agree with Zynx that it does look kind of dumb when used, but I guess I think so because I wasnt here when it started.

Haha, "hacker talk". No Zynx it's not "hacker talk", not is it internet short hand. It's just a word we developed in the TO nightly chats and it just sounds GRET. In my previous post, I probably should have mentioned that banning great is a little bit ridiculous, but not any more ridiculous than your seizure of anger on a word.

Don't ban great, because if you want to say great, fine. It is easier to type gret thhan great, so it is no loss to the gret lovers.

I totally agree with you but i dont know why people love gret. Because it's part of a jargon formed of a specific group of people, which you wouldn't understand why we liked it, unless you were a part of us.

Actually.. "gret" was used by a reviewer unintentionally for an Xbox game and we just made fun of it...

To me "gret" is just like "skilz" and "l33t" and all kinds of words like that that just make the forum look immature and silly. If you want to use it fine, I can deal with that. However, I will never accept the proper english language being banned.

Meh, Crono already said he wasn't going to ban the word. No need for all the anger
