If I'm being overly critical or b*tchy when people message me and can't spell? And it's not so much their spelling, but when they don't, for example, take the time to spell out 'with' instead of just putting 'wid'... It does only take about a tenth of a second to put two letters rather than one. I understand that we're all trying to do things to save time, and that includes proper grammer and spelling, (and as far as punctuation goes, as long as the sentence isn't never ending, I could give a hoot less) but is it too much to ask for that you spell out 'you' instead of 'u'? We're not texting here, and I feel that taking the extra two seconds isn't gonna hurt anything. Thoughts? prolly people shud do w/e they want 2 do obviously - doesn't bother unless it's so deep in textese that I can't read it/or understand |

Honestly, I can overlook poor spelling IF it is simply that.
However, when poor spelling is because of texting habits or street lingo, I will tend to ignore the person. Having a partner who does that would aggravate me to no end. If you're smart and educated, then you should present yourself as such. To undermine yourself by appearing uneducated for the sake of looking or sounding hip or cool gives means your priorities are mixed up. There are a few people out there who manage to find a balance between the two, but at least they know when each is appropriate. |

I figure it's preferences u have that u have a right to
but I don;t think u can judge the rest of us - for me it's habit as for a long time and (sometimes still) chat was mostly how I communicated with my kids as I am a non custodial parent - so it's just become a habit we share that I see no problem with my education does not make me who I am and my level of education is no one else's concern - I am about as hip and cool as a warm gym sock....w/e |

I must admit, i tend to get agitated slightly, about that Blah. I just see it as a modern way of society developing more. Even if it makes you look so illeterate.
