It isn't the phones, it's the people. Phones aren't forcing people to abbreviate or leave out punctuation. Very true. But one could argue they are retraining people in a round-a-bout way to write a certain way. Many people make a habit of doing certain things, and then carry it over into other parts of life, whether it is proper or not. |

Yeah you're comp isn't broked then... 'tis hard having everything typed out perfectly on the phone, believe me I know. It'd take me 30mins to get out 2 sentences if I typed it in perfect grammar. The dumbest thing ever invented: auto-correct. It does not bother me seeing it on phones or even instant messages. But I see it on job applications, paperwork requests, personnel inquiries and other assorted places, and that is bothersome. Typing "How r u?" On a phone to me is fine. Having me read "My othr job sux...lol" on a job application is hair pulling. Yes, that happened today. Which is why I thought of it. |

Wow, in only 5 words, two great reasons to put the application right on the reject pile. |

I blame phones for this to. I see several resumes a day that do this sort of thing, and it always aggravates me. I can see doing it on the phone, I can see doing it on IM and even on some forums and such to some degree.. but not in any sort of professional papers, forms or writings. I tend to write out everything, and rarely abbreviate.
It isn't the phones, it's the people. Phones aren't forcing people to abbreviate or leave out punctuation. I can't even bring myself to short-hand on phones though. Then again I think I'm one of the very few. |

Does the way someone presents themselves online affect the way you think about them? This includes the way they write, spelling/grammar, if they take things very seriously/not seriously at all, get offended easily/offends others often just to name a few. What about the way someone presents themselves online is important to you? What doesn't matter to you? I do pay attention to spelling, grammar, and punctuation. Typos happen, but if someone is writing "I ame lukin 4 sum1 hu unerstns meeee n myy lief n m prbelms n hu luv dog's n zeebra's" then we are probably not going to have much to say to each other. |

I gotta laugh as I think about it...
I am actually quieter and more reserved here than in actual real life. (no schitt) Real life don't got moderators to spank me when I pop off a filthy joke, or bust out with my horrible kareoke/ man dancing like I do at work. I don't worry about being politically correct except here. In real life...I got the same personality that I show here...but alot more of it. I am far more vulgar and quick with my responses face to face. I gotta watch my step here or the delicate jungle orchids who need everything just right will get booty hurt and call a mod on me. Still, it has been good for me to have to play by Mingle rules. I figured out that a little self-restraint ain't that bad. (I am funnier in real life...taller too!) :) |

Many people make a habit of doing certain things, and then carry it over into other parts of life, whether it is proper or not. People are doing it to themselves. There's nothing forcing them to type horribly and not make sense. |
