Is this an english word or this person can't speak english?

Question

There is someone in here, I think her screen name is fireball, that says

"this is relig". What exactly is "relig"?

She uses that almost in every answer.

Answer 1

no its  not a word  on its  own  but may be  an abbreviation of religion or religious.

Answer 2

I've also seen her and I have no clue what that is.

Answer 3

probably religion

Answer 4

She means "religion" she has shortened the word.

Answer 5

It is a shortening of the word religion.

Seems only Fireball uses it

Answer 6

It's like text message language.  Some people are too lazy to type out the entire word.  It's not like we are charged by the letter here ....

Answer 7

trademark quote

BTW - this is relig. see "Wordplays"

Answer 8

Don't pay any attention to anything she says.

Answer 9

Short for "religion," although how hard is it to type those last three letters?

The word is not conducive to abbreviation, so she had to go almost all the way to the end anyway.

Answer 10

It's short for religion.

Fireball is a points gamer who rarely if ever actually contributes anything.

You should check out her profile,it's a hoot.

Answer 11

Well, according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, "relig" is a valid abbreviation for "religion", so I guess you need to tell them it is incorrect.

Not that my viewpoints on religion will ever agree with Fireball's, but let's not pick on her for doing nothing wrong for goodness sake.

Answer 12

relig means Religion

Answer 13

I know that people who text message often used abbreviations instead of words, but I assume that is because of charges for text messaging. I do not know why there is so much of the same kind of abbreviation on here- u r for you are, etc.

But I have noticed and commented on it several times, so many people can not spell and do not even take advantage of the spell checker. I do all the time. But grammar in many cases is also very bad. I make a lot of mistakes, sometimes catch them, sometimes do not, but it seems like a lot of people do not really care. I do not know if it is that they do not care or really do not know how to write.

I know I sound like an old "Fudie-Dudie"-I don't know how to spell that, and I am not, but just had very good teachers in English classes when I was a kid, excuse me, child.  

Answer 14

ignore fireball, she rarely says anything worth taking notice of...

Answer 15

probably short for religion
