For the longest time I kept seeing the generic "Thanks hope to win it wthog ^_^" on giveaways everywhere without knowing what "wthog" meant. In my head I always read this phrase as "Thanks hope to win it wart hog".

Anyone else have this problem????

TL:DR It's not nice to call the giveaway creator a wart hog :)

wthog = with the help of god.
Though nothing would prove this world to be even more messed up than is than god is busy helping out someone with chances on SG while there is so much trouble around the world :D

Thought the same thing when I first saw it...probably from my days of playing Halo.

Actually, even knowing now what it stands for, I still think warthog...

Yeah, even after finding out what it really means, I do still read it as "warthog". Honestly, I see it as a very silly thing to say. I really don't understand why people say it. Do they seriously believe that if a god even exists, it would care enough to help them win a stupid game? I wonder if they thank god every time they do win... however many times that even is. Hmm, maybe I'll start saying "wthol"...

I can't keep myself from reading it that way. I've only ever seen one person use it, though. Just very very often.

i really really dislike that short messed up 'message'
it not just has no meaning like an not-meant 'thank you', its also pretty selfish to call upon a devine beeing (if such should exist.. lol) to help you with such a petty thing..
even more so if it is written as often and everywhere.. its just like saying 'i love xy' to absolutely everything. it just doesnt mean anything in my eyes...

The failure to adhere to any abbreviation or capitalization standards is what makes the intended meaning of "wthog" so unapparent. People are free to adopt their own interpretations of grammar, spelling, pronunciation or meaning, but communicating ideas relies on shared/common interpretations.

if communication would depend on those standards you would not be able to reply. so be glad that your brain helps you to spread the important message of grammar while cringing as i intentionally leave out grammar, spelling, capitalization (which is the most funy point in the english language ;D) and other interpretation-standards you are missing.
this said... i will enjoy your reply in other languages ^^

My comments about grammar were not referring to your writing, which I find perfectly understandable. I was talking about "wthog" (and agreeing with everything you said).

I spent all my points lol sadface, so I prayed to get more, and my prayers had been heard lol wthog, because a few minutes later I was granted some points wthog ! So I prayed harder, and I got even more points rotf. I spent them all lol, so I prayed all day long wthog and spent my points bit by bit lol.
