i dont understand the problem using any, as long as you can read it, it's not like you are taking an exam everytime you write something and most of the population where english is there first language dont actually speak english properly.

It really doesn't matter that much to me, IF I can make out whatever it is they're trying to communicate. But the longer I'm here, the lower the literacy rate becomes. A year from now, we'll need a One-Syllable Words Only forum. Actually, that might be a good idea right now.

As for the typing itself -- if writing is intended to be a form of communication, then it seems to me you would want to do whatever is necessary to get the message across, clearly and unambiguously. Let me know if/when people ever start doing that here.

What sort of typing annoys you to no end?

1- Slangz- It gt 2 b dis typ: cuz it showz dat dey is hipz

2- rANdOm CApS TyPe: It JuSt LoOkS sTuPiD..

3- ALL CAPITALS: THE STYLE OF THE ATTENTION SEEKER!

4- Consistent proper English: We are not at school!


Well, using Text Messaging shortcuts when you have the space and room to use real words bothers me. Random Caps is just hard to read. Since all capitals is shouting, I hear it in my mind as shouting. I don't expect perfect spelling or grammar when in casual conversation. IF I can't figure out what someone is trying to say because the grammar is so bad, then it isn't my fault if they get mad because I thought the meant something else.

But sometimes they get pissy when you ask them to translate. Like you are deliberately being obtuse or something. It's annoying.

Great leaping lexicons Batman, that would be tough!!

Think about it for a minute...

Try to type a meaningful sentence using only one-syllable words.

AD -- I see this EVERY FREAKING DAY:

"I don't know what to write here."

"I'm bored, who will talk to me?"

I know, you said "meaningful," but you see what I'm getting at?
