Maybe the guys who first manufactured computers got their funding by writing the to the veture capitalists like this:

Actually, it'd be 'ct', as in 'i ct du it'. 'What's up' already contains a contraction. You need to make it shorter?

I'm not sure it's your place to tell people with which dialect than they can speak....I question your arrogance as your statement made you look like nothing more than a simple-minded pedant

I question your arrogance in telling me 'my place'. Please indicate where I told someone which dialect to speak. My comments were on topic for this thread.

What's your point here?

I told you what your place wasn't...there is a difference. "sup" isn't degenerative...not anymore than Can't..Don't..Won't..etc etc etc.
