If you're using Word, press Ctrl+apostrophe. Nothing will happen. This is normal. Now type any vowel, and it will pop up with the accent. Then copy and paste it into the AutoCorrect Box, and there you go.

Ah. I just failed so hard. I feel the need to walk backwards to Korea and dunk my head in a currently operating automatic coffee machine while holding a steel rod between my teeth.

There must be something in the water . . . I think I'm drunk today.

Meneur d'enfer, if you don't have Word that doesn't mean you can't have accents on the contrary, it is a good sign that you don't use that crappy propietary software with that annoying clippo. Those dead-key combinations such as Ctrl+' work pretty much everywhere (they just change according to the language).

Me myself am using Linux. If I want an a with a bar like Arabs such, like this one a → ā or this one with a dieresis and overbar → ǟ, I simply tell my keyboard I want one. Same if all of a sudden I decide I like ЖiЯillic cЧaracters.

S.D.: there's Fluorine in the water. It helps Satoshi Tajiri's overlord organization to keep an eye on Pokémon fans.

I'm away for one night and it's already page 432. Fortunately, nothing new to discuss so...

Do you frequently use Internet Slang and or Emoticons in your daily Internet life? Such as IMHO, OGM, ect.

Now, I'm going to get back to my fic.

Internet Slang: I usually refer to "the tubes" when talking about the nature of the Web, catalog political decisions as "YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG!" and "EPIC FAIL!", use most of the abbreviations with I, such as IIRC and IMOO ("in my objective opinion", which is what I use to emphasize that my opinion is so well formed that it can, and possibly should, be taken for truth), and others.

I also reference certain events in my daily life by specific networks and programming jargon when talking with my friends and fellows via web:
"You should ping [friend's name]'s cell phone"
"me.tired == true && me.sleep();"
"my collegue is having problems server-side"
"pass me the popcorns by value"
"SELECT * FROM PEOPLE WHERE (course == my.course AND common_sense == true); 1 result: me".

Yeah, people looks me funny.

Emoticons: only in forums, that's what they are for. Anywhere else I try to avoid them. :laugh:

I only use the more common ones like "lol" and "XD", especially on the IRC. But I cannot stoop myself to use quick speak, or other less used slang.

I'm frequently having to doublecheck that I'm not in the DCC when I'm here. @[email protected];

In my daily internet life, occasionally. I prefer emoticons like XD and ^_^, though.

And "Pokemon", with the "e", too! :\
Some people don't know about the different keyboards for PCs or the alt trick for Macs. I used to be one of those people, actually. Before I knew about the different-keyboards settings on this PC I was squirming every time I wrote the word 'Pokémon'. xD

Oh yeah. Also, I will be on a camping trip from this Sunday - tomorrow - until Thursday sometime. I will have no electricity or access to a computer. Just to tell you all.

That reminds me, I'll be gone for two weeks or more starting tomorrow [Monday (GMT+8)] and hopefully will be posting my fics latest installment tonight. In the mean time I'm free but then afterwards I'm off to study.

Ah yes, will be changing my name soon.

Jax, I require some brain bleach.
*eyebrow quirk* You're asking a sadist for relief? (Suffer, puny insect! Suffer in silence!)

Do you frequently use internet slang and/or emoticons in your daily internet life? Such as IMHO, OMG, etc.

The things I say seriously:

- WTF?
- BRB. (Usually in a chat because at that point, I most likely have to use a bathroom.)
- <object> ♥('s) <object>
- Certain emoticons, including: XD, ^_^, O_o, o_o, et cetera.
- *<action>*
- FAIL.

The things I don't say seriously but say frequently:

- OMG
- (for the) lulz
- I lol'd
- O rly?
- :D / :) / :( (Usually preceded by something heavily sarcastic.)
- Internets/interweb/series of tubes/intertubes
- ded
- What./Wut.
- Srsly
- Doing it wrong.
- "It's okay! xkcd says <insert something here>!"

In other words, sort of.

As for QC, not that often, but I really should, if only because the guy who does it keeps coming to a con my friends run. And it's heavily awkward to say, "Uh, yeah. Your comic. Um... HEY, LOOK, THERE'S RANDALL MONROE. *flee!*" (Not that, uh, I actually go into the artists' room to begin with because I'm a wuss in real life.)
Professional ninja. May or may not actually be back. Here for the snark and banter at most.

I have it set up, so that in word, when I type Pokemon, it auto corrects it with the accent. But no so on firefox.

Oddly enough, I'd have to agree with Jax on this one. Just refer to her lists for me, cos I cbb (there's another one I rarely use) 'c+p'ing (another one). I use ^_^ a lot, as well as o_O, O_O, the odd x_X or ;_;, and XD fairly regularly. I like lolcats, too. i has a flavor

No; your hip new-age lingo conflusterates me
Evidently. When was the last time you heard someone say 'hip' when they weren't a) referring to one's abdomen or b) joking around? ^_~

I was, but then I started Shattered. And I definitely don't have time to finish Chapter 4 and write a 7k fic by the end of tomorrow. So Broken will have to wait.

I've also considered Distorted and Twisted, both of which I actually suggested to someone else for a fic title, but yes, I seem to like one-word titles in general. Remember Faith? *cringes*
