    I know it's annoying, but just let it be. They will eventually learn to type correctly.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    The word "english" in the title needs a capital E. Haha.

    Annoying though it may be, I believe they have the right to type however they please, just as you have the right to complain about it.

    Also, there's also the fact that nobody is forcing you to visit a site or read posts with such grammar. If it annoys you, you can always remove yourself from a situation in which you will see it. If you choose not to do so, you really have no reason to complain, do you?

    [q]Take Resha back there, Was there anything remotely funny about what she (presumably) said? No. Why the "xD"? In fact, why two "xD"s?[/q]

    I'd try and answer your question, but I can't. I don't know why I did it, it's just habit. But seeing as it doesn't cause internal haemorrage to anybody, I can do it safely. Unless you'd care to sue? lol k dis iz juz 4 u ok XDDDDDD hahah lolz so funy k dat iz juz UBER-KEWL LOLZ DUN U FINK SO?

    [q]That's because Resha is a stupid SPAMMER.[/q]
    I DON'T SPAM! ;___; Everything I say has a deep, hidden meaning to it.
    This subliminal message could be meant for YOU. But it's probably not. Move along ;D

    Not EVERYONE speaks like that here, otherwise I would have left a long time ago.

    Oh, and in the title, the word "english" doesn't need a capital letter.

    I know everyone doesn't speak like that. But some people do. And you can't really do anything about it either. As I said, you have a choice, you can put up with it or you can not. What is is what will be will be, if people want to type like that they are going to do so whether you like it or not, and making such a big fuss about it is only going to serve to elevate your blood pressure and annoy those around you.

    Not to advertise, but I recently made a comic about this (kind of).

    It's hardly a big fuss. It's not like I expect EVERYONE to stop typing like that. I'm only proposing that we discuss it.

    I am only annoyed when people make no effort whatsoever. I don't care about lol, rofl, rafl, xD, wtf, 4tw, yadda yadda yadda - I use them myself plenty - so long as the person can write something coherent without them. But language changes and evolves, and this should be neither surprising, perplexing, nor vexing to anybody.

    Yes it does. It's a proper noun. Proper nouns need capital letters at the start.

    Also "Fully" doesn't need a capital letter on the f.

    Uh...no it doesn't. The word english in that context isn't a proper noun.

    But yeah, the "Fully" is incorrect.

    It's like Spuuky is back, except his form is badly out of shape.

    Oh yeah, and the attachment should settle your E/e debate. Obviously, Psychotic wins.
