Guide to LOLCats - Grammar


 LOLCAT GRAMMAR

 LOLcats are notoriously bad at spelling and the use of grammar.

Cat's type in a special manner

Even the clever ones are rarely an exception.

Cat's are not illiterate

 There is a certain skill in writing like a cat and not like an idiot ‘txt spkr’.

Cats misspell a lot of words but unlike text speak this not just an attempt to abbreviate. the best way to determine if you’re writing like a cat is to repeat (in your head or otherwise) what you has said in a high pitched voice.

If it sounds like a cat or a baby then it’s probably LOLcat speak. If it sounds liek something you has got to decipher then it is no LOLcat speak.

Some basic word changes are below, but these words can be spelled correctly and still be LOLcat speak depending on how many other words are misspelled. Cat’s won’t change so many words as to sound stupid.

  • Hi = hai

  • Like = liek

  • Has = have

  • I am = I is or I’z

  • They = dey

  • That = dat

As with any language the best way to be learnings is by being immersed in it. The more you can be readings LOLcat speak they more you will be learnings it.

 If you want to see what a normal sentence would look like in LOLcat speak just type it into the comment box below and it will automatically translate it for you.

  52. BD Says:

    When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
