If it's a comment on my profile, or on the forums of any website, I ignore it. It's not worth the time trying to communicate with these people. If it's on a chat, like Kongregate, I just make fun of them.

Noob: hows go 2 accnt
Me: bare is 2 south

They usually ignore me anyone, and everyone ignores them :l

I don't usually mind the spelling(except when they go out of their way to spell something wrong) as long as its legible(after all, the English language is always evolving) but I generally ignore a gramatical cluster *blank*.

I don't mind it if it's just like "lets go 2 da park" but once it gets like what I show above well I get annoyed. If you type like the above well learn proper grammar.

I just try to write as truthfully to grammatical laws as I can. That's about it.

I think it can be fun to use at times, but I don't like when people over-do it. THAT, however, is annoying.
