"AnytimeI see 'series' in a post I skip it. It and 'hugh' quit being funny long ago."
Oh, stop it... it's sort of an in-group slang by now, kind of a Freeper patois. I don't use it either, but what's the harm, other than having to look twice to understand whether they actually meant series or serious, or, even worse, unintentionally writing "hugh" for huge?
Well I understand what you are saying. However it is just a perversion of the English language. We have a lot of high profile and influential people that visit this site and I wonder what they must think when they see posts with those 'patois' posted.
I just think that serious posts should remain that way. Otherwise, series and hugh and jump in the shower all you want.
