Well it's just about a small discussion about the IRL/offline issue. First if you are confused, I'm not talking about the Indy Racing League, the IRL I'm talking about is "In Real Life". It's ok if you want to use it while you are RPing or playing a MMRPG. Since you are playing a character and you are in another world [fantasy world hehe], you can say things like "well you can't do it IRL" and "I want to talk with you IRL". Although, If you are only talking with your friends, hrough any IM, it's a bit not polite say IRL, because that sounds like your online friends are not real. Like when you say "well brb I'm going to talk with my IRL friends now"... see? but if you say "well brb I'm going to talk with my offline friends now" sounds normal.
Well when i say that I just want to make you think that, when you are talking with one of your online friends through IMs, it's exactly like when you are talking with one of your offline friends through the phone.
So if you use offline/online by now, that would be nice. But if you want to still using IRL... it's ok too I don't mind. That happens every time and everywhere. Like the word cell. You know the cells of our body. They give it this name because the they thought the cell was just an empty space... and we know it's full of stuff. Another nice one is the name of the White Rhino. It was supposed to be "Wide" because the size of its moth, not "White'. That was a mistranslation.
... well I think I'm a bit out off the topic. So lets make it short:
If you are playing, it's ok use IRL. If you are talking with your friends like in the phone, use offline/online.
It's just something Zamie and more friends told me once and I think it's correct. Feel free to disagree and hate this stamp. It's actually not that important.
So for everybody who lives a life online and offline, and think both are exactly the same, feel free to use this stamp. And if you have a suggestion for a better text tell me. Hehe. Thank you. A cookie for everybody who read this.

Oh yeah and its my 1st and probably last stamp.

....

And I still think I need a better text... >>

Falei sobre o termo em inglês IRL e mais um monte de coisas pra encher linguiça (já vou escrever sem a trema chata. sei que ainda não é agora a mudança mas 'tou com preça) mas como nunca vi ninguém usar isso em português comigo... deixa pra lá.

Hell yes. I've been sitting on my ass waiting for someone else to come to this conclusion. I've felt the same way for quite a while now. I'm not blowing up the whole world over it or anything, but it's still annoying when someone needs to go hang out with their "IRL friends". Exactly what does that make me? A false friend? An imaginary person, perhaps? Am I thought of as just a computer chip plugged into the USB port that activates when somebody comes online? Gah. I know people don't usually mean anything negative by saying it, but since when do people think about what they're saying anyway?
In other words, yes. I agree with this completely. Nice job. C: :hug:

Heh, interesting interpretation there... yeah, of course "real life" does encroach even on the Internet! :XD:
But then... what is "real", eh? ;)

I can see that, but "offline" isn't abbreviated so no one will ever use it XD

OffL?

aunno, I can't think of a good abbreviation.
