Write out the whole word!

[Thrudh]

I'm an old geezer I guess...

I'm seeing more and more posts where people use "u" instead of you, and "b" instead "be"... Seriously? You can't write "be"?

Now get off my lawn, you **** kids!

Use a whole sentence too!


I get one word tells out of the blue from strangers all the time because I lead groups/post LFMs.



Just because you and your guildy had a thorough conversation in Ventrillo doesn't mean I learned ESP or know who/what you are.

I usually skip posts that have atrocious spelling or layout. It saves me time and if enough people do it those people will never have a voice unless they adapt.

OMG RLY?

Yeah I think there is a point where it becomes annoying.

OP is my hero.

That is all.

[Rubiconn]

Truth is not spelling words out completely hides the fact that many of these people cant spell. That is one that drives me crazy. Nevermind the gramatical errors.

I teach freshman composition and a few other related courses, and I don't know how many essays I've handed back with comments on what I call a kids 'text-speak' in typed form. It drives me crazy.

On any forum or online mode of communication, I try to be more relaxed. I still cringe when I see a wall of text full of comma splices and sentence fragments. I get a twitch in my left eye when I see people mixing up there, their and they're or were and we're. (It's a contraction, people. We are = we're. Sheesh.) But I do my best to ignore it.

Now if they were sitting in my classroom....muwhahaha!

I know the feeling. I taught a Junior Year Writing course in my political science department, and these problems still plague third-year undergrads, not just freshmen. Makes me wish I could hit people with rulers. :)

Fixed that for you. :D

OMG, IDK what U R talking about. Give it 20 yrs and we will all B using computer shorthand 4 every day speech. As for myself, if I somehow manage to avoid carpal tunnel from playing this game, I will be immensely surprized.
