[edit] Uppyspeak

Non-notable. Gets zero Google hits, which for a supposed "internet phenomenon" is pretty impressive. --Carnildo 08:19, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Uppyspeak has been around for about a year, maybe a little longer. I was thinking about incorporating it into the article about internet slang, but I noticed that it said the internet slang article took up too much webspace as it is. So, I created added it as its own article. If you don't think it's up to the wikipedia standard as its own article, and you do choose to delete it, I would think it should at least be worthy as a footnote in the internet slang article. Thanks. 68.34.92.81Alex.
