I have. It is as simple as txt talking but more letters.
Most people just txt talk and spam :Ã this is ridiculous and i think this should be enforced by the mods.

For those new to typing: LEARN.

Yes some people can't spell properly or they can't be bothered writing a complete word

I used to be like that but a mod set me straight.
(on another site)

The forums there were much better because of the features and the spelling that you could read.

Yes a lot of people don't spell right because they are to lazy. They are use to AIM and text talk. But even those that do spell right, often most of them do not use there conventions right. But i do not think this needs to be enforced because it is just a friendly site were people enjoy themselves. It is not English class.

You should contact some of the Firefox Staff or post a blog I'm sure someone will create a plug in like that

Yeah. Most people have a tendency for using bad grammar or spelling because they don't want to take forever. If we grammar users didn't take the time to check or errors, how will the citizens of Armorgames understand us? It will be all"Blah blah?" and " Pfzz pfzzz." without grammar. I hope some people take grammar lessons from mods or somebody.
