I'm SO glad someone else hates this! I've had my moments where I don't put a period or something at the end of a sentence or don't capitalize the word "I," but for the most part I've got perfect grammar. Hell, I even put proper grammar in my text messages! It's just how it should be. That way everybody else understands what the fuck you're talking about. The thing that gets me most is when people go out of their way to capitalize every other letter. ThEy SiT tHeRe AnD dO tHiS aNd It AnNoYs ThE fUcK oUt Of Me. It's even harder to read, and takes probably 3 times longer to type because you have to hit Shift every other letter. Gah!!! USE VOWELS!!! I can deal with no commas, that's not the biggest deal to me, but PLEASE use full words and at least periods to break up sentences. I'll even let you not capitalize the first word of the sentence, as long as I can understand what you're talking about.

As far as short replies, I have been known to make posts with as little as 4-5 words, but usually spelled correctly. having cell phones in class with internet is the culprit

it'll go away in a year when everyone has full keyboards on their cells and 1337 speak becomes synonymous with geeks who sit on the computer all day being internet tough. The next generation won't even know that existed, it was a fluke of the late 90's.

On my blackberry I've gotten into the habit of spelling out full words correctly and punctuating, like even apostrophes and stuff. The only time I don't is when I'm driving one handed and trying to text.

phones are bad, but i HATE it when people come here and are like wut da fuk is up wit dis shyt in muh box? just type the fucking words out! and save yourself from looking like a ruh-tard and at least *look* like you have an ounce of sense in you.

and i totally agree with boon's signature lol

Exactly Ray, ever since I got my BB I always text out the full word and right punctuations b/c its a lot easier to do compared to older phones.

Back when I was a senior (05) in high school some kid in my English class had to write a sentence on the board, he spelled "probably"--"prolly", everybody was rollin, the teacher wasn't too happy haha

I do hate that this stuff too...some chick on another forum I'm on uses absolutely no punctuations and just misspells a lot of shit, this is how she always posts:

big rich!!!that skiem! everythign was a big let down this year esp bay area rap ! that raided , the jack , wich im pretty pissed off about actually !

im waiting on that new cold worls hustlers ! and that new yougn d boyz ! and the apt 3 killahoes ! should be better next year !

Twitter isn't the cause (though it doesn't help any).

I've bounced around internet forums since I was 13. I never signed up, but I saw one post somewhere on the net that was so atrocious, I still remember it to this day. The poster said:

win u tri tu git off couch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111111!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!n u kint!!!!!!!!!111111!!!!!!!!!!n u rok bakn4th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111!!!!n u den git up!!!!111!!!!!!!!!!r u do in majicke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11!!!!!!!!???????????????/////???//???////????????

:rofl:

the post was deleted (trash-talkin)

and it annoys the **** outta me (though sometimes it's funny).

I admit, sometimes I intentionally mispell words, but they're mostly spelled the way I talk in real life. Sometimes I intentionally do it just cause I feel like it.
