    If one is getting technical about the title of this thread there are a few other alterations that need to be taken into consideration.
    Forums is infact an improper plural and should actually be fora. Oh and the quotations/speech should end with a comma.

    Thus it shoudl read: 'A fully fledged "I hate it when people use terrible English on fora," thread.'
    Or something like that. Either way this thread is the LAMEz0rz!

    At least to stop you guys from ranting in a thread and completely derailing EVERYTHING.

    I absolutely HATE people who use abbreviations for words or phrases, you know what I mean, people who post and just say "lol" or "ur so gay" or whatever.

    Infact, sheerly by principle if I see someone post a serious post, that consists of "ur" as a replacement for "you're/your" or "r" as a replacement for "are". Then I put them on ignore.

    Feel free to discuss this further.
    ur talking to me right? oh, i thinks ya can't see my post b/c i might be on ur ignore list. i like using ur in place of your/you're. what? don't like dyslexics?

    i'm not a bad speller and dyslexia has never been a problem [but i seem to be going on a downslide with spelling]. i just find it easier to make abbreviations.

    I absolutely hate it, but sometimes fighting fire with fire is surprisingly fun and often produces hilarious results. If you're ever in chat and tlk 2 som1 lik dis n so on and so forth, it's usually funny. At least worth a giggle.

    I get irritated when people get bent out of shape about it. I also get irritated when, after someone gets bent out of shape, people who normally type correctly proceed to emulate the posting style in question.

    To sum it up, if I've seen it done on the internet a million times, and it's no longer funny to me, it's irritating.

    And yes, Krissy is a king among men and discussion of him is not fit for a lowly thread such as this.

    So is elision. And I don't know anyone who gets the number of 'l's correct in the two of them consistantly.

    Okay, so we've established that abbreviating and using internet acronyms and initialisms upsets some people a little more than it probably should. I honestly don't see anything else coming out of this thread, save a few more grammar corrections and possibly a flame war.

    On that note, I'll conclude with an ROFL and "close thread" button.
