Oh hai thare
So you want to speak lolcat? It isn't very easy and you may end up with some kitty scratches in the end. The purpose of this page is to offer help on proper lolcat syntax and grammar. Don't worry if you don't get it at first. It takes some practice but in the end you'll end up with proper lolcat that is both cute and funny.
This isn't fully written though. I shall be doing that soon. For now, if you really want a crash course go to icanhascheezburger and read the comments there. These are the experts. Yes, really.
Here we go!
General Spelling Rule: Homonymous Misspellings
While some of the rules about spelling pertain to common typing errors, baby-talk, kindergarten misspellings and community-specific mannerisms found on online message boards, the important skill is to learn when using lolspeak is how to borrow the spelling of certain parts of one word to misspell another word that shares certain phonetic sounds (or that just rhymes).
You can mix them around like this:
ghost -> goast or ghoast (borrowing from "toast" or "coast")
feet -> feat (borrowing from "meat" or "heat")
moan -> mown (borrowing from "own" or "mow")
crowd -> croud (borrowing from "cloud" or "found")
nothing -> nuthing (borrowing from the typical sound of the letter "u" as in "umbrella" or "hut")

One of the many inside internet jokes, which consists of pictures of cute kittens, cats, and cats in funny poses, which then have captions in large (generally white) font taking up AT MINIMUM a fourth of the page. Misspellings and atrocious grammar are common, the most frequently used phrase is "I can haz cheezburger?" spelt a number of different, and all wrong, ways.
A large archive of photos, captions, and al manner of idiots who find them funny can be found at Icanhascheeseberger.com.

A site where illiterate morons spend an extraordinary amount of time taking random photographs of their cats with the hope that they are captured doing something utterly normal that no person with a real life could possible find remotely amusing.

A new species of cats specially bred to star in funny pictures. These special cats can be found all over the internet.
Lolcats also are just plain old funny pictures of cats. These are "unofficial" lolcats.
