Default people who use the word 'tis'
please enlighten us as to why you are so gay.

'wtf' i can understand
'pwned' i even find funny

but TISSS?? it's the same 3 letters of the same word just rearranged to look gayer.

all those in favour of this evil words extermination from the english dictionary say yay.

just had to get this off my chest. i just find it hilarious when people use that word in their posts thinking it makes them look like Shakespeare or somthing.

Eurhm, never heard of it before. Could you use it in a sentence (or explain what it means / is replacing)?

EDIT: Explained below. Guess it's just the language that's evolving

While I agree that 'tis crap you're wrong about it being the same three letters in a different order and you should learn what an apostrophe means at the start of a word.

I feel it does make me look like the forementioned famous 16th century playright.
Tis a shame you think otherwise.

I'd much rather people learn proper capitalization (beginning of sentence AND proper nouns, such as 'English'), sentence structure, paragraph structure, grammar and so forth before I'd worry about archaic words being used.

I'm sorry, moan at me for closing this topic if you like, but tis ridiculous, tis not going anywhere and tis likely to just turn into a moaning flame. Capital letters are your friend, and try coming up with something more original than "rearranged to look gayer".

Hugs and kisses,
Reo

p.s. Listen to br0ken x)
