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.

I don't have a problem with bad spelling. Bad grammar on the other hand is really annoying.

I get really annoyed if I make a post with improper spelling/ grammar or if I even a uncapitalized I or apostrophes. I don't have any problem with others having improper language but I will if it's to the point where I don't even understand what the person was trying to say. I'm not saying I always type perfectly, I try to but I get annoyed if do it. Maybe a minor form of OCD (Obsessive Compulsion Disorder)?

But what I noticed I do a lot is have really long run-on sentences separated just by commas, I think I do it when I think I didn't fully express my whole idea and I don't want to separate it into multiple sentences. I mean, look how big my last sentence was, but I have done worse...

^^^^ SPAMMMER SPAMMER SPAMMMER SPAMMMER!!!!!!!!! (lol, try a little harder with a post next time around)


I have noticed a lot that people don't spell correctly, and i don't as long as i'm not in a serious conversation. I use common abreviations and "txt" talk, but i try not to use grammar thats just str8 up unintelligable...acutally i don't ever do that, lol. But that definatly pisses me off more than incorrect spelling...

Okay we get it eyetwitch lol, I am not the best typer in the world, and I often use that handy little Spell Check right above the page. However, most often I'll forget, and there will be some mistakes, and I do have my own little versions of words, some of which I don't use unless I'm on a messenger, however I'm not lazy enough to make my typing unintelligible either.
As for Grammar, I myself can't help that sometimes, and neither can some other people, but there is no reason for someone to post 1ik3 Th1$ a|| th3 t1m3 cau$3 1 cant r3ad 1t v3ry w311 31th3r 101-_- and i don get y no 1 wood wnt 2 rit lik tis either huh? it just gets annoying =/

I don't have much of a problem with incorrect spelling, only if people do it because they are lazy. Some people don't know how to spell big words and I don't get mad as long as I can tell they don't do it purposely. Txt talk is one thing that kind of annoys me though. But as many people have stated, use Firefox!!! It helps me spell some words that can be easily misspelled and it can maybe help solve the problem of people spelling words incorrectly.

I really don't mind people using bad grammar or spelling as long as I can understand what they're saying. If they want to make themselves look uneducated because they're lazy, so be it.

What does it matter if someone can't spell...does that make them a bad person or something?? I mean...a tiny little misspelled word ain't gonna kill ya..unless you're a doctor, but that is a different story.

its not the spelling that is annoying, because almost everyone can piece together what the person is trying to say, its just that its an inconvenience and most times its the spelling and grammar

There are lots of lazy people. It just makes them look uneducated and lazy, as people said before. I almost always try to spell and use grammer correctly. It makes it a lot easier to read.
