Goddammit! It's "cool" not "kewl"

[RagingInMiami]

Who the fuck came up with kewl? You're not even shortening the original word. It's totally not cool.

[Left Is Write]

1. It's a pronunciation thing.

If you were saying it out loud, "kewl" would be pronounced differently than the evidently very stodgy "cool."

And of course, I am stodgy, as evidenced by my use of the word "stodgy."

2. I'm partial to...

coo'.

;)

3. Right arm! Gravy!

Oh, wait. That's, "Right On! Groovy!"

Whatever. :eyes:

[tuvor]

4. It probably started in Van-kew-ver.

Seriously, all the natives say it that way. "Kew" instead of "cou".

5. I agree

[candle_bright]

6. You are so unkewl it's unreal

B-)

[WindRavenX]

7. I like

and I use it. Sorry!

[tammywammy]

8. It bugs me too

I knew a girl that instead of saying "okay" she said "otay." Now, that really got on my nerves.
And being an English major, I hate it when people come up "new" spellings. There's nothing wrong with cool, why change it?

9. thank you

I despise that particular trend.

10. when someone writes that

man or woman, they are a valley girl to me

i hate it.

o, i also hate it when people use "yah" instead of "yeah"

this time it could be valley girl, or it could be german :shrug:

[cynatnite]

11. I loathe 'anyhoo'

I see this used on some of the other lists I'm on and I can't stand it. :grr:
