    If people want everyone to think they're stupid that's their problem.

    To me it's a capital offence if it's done in the Writer's Corner, other than that it doesn't bother me as long as I can understand what they're saying.

    As long as I can make out what is being said, I don't mind. I'm not a perfect speller by any means.

    I bet they can't type very well either, poor sods. They're screwed.

    Maybe I'm going out on a limb here, but can this specific thread be found somewhere around here?

    I don't mind stuff like "brb" and "lol" and such. But the "b"s and "2s" and crap like that annoy the heck out of me. I especially hate when I'm instant messaging someone and the conversation goes something like:

    Me: No, *insert name here* is his real name.
    Person: o
    Person: wats ur favrit anme?
    Me: *insert anime name here* ^^
    Person: o
    Person: kool

    I mean, seriously. How hard is it to type "oh" or "what's"? Not to mention, what exactly is so great about typing "cool" incorrectly? Is it fun to let everyone know that you can't type?

    I'm done for the moment

    Does this herald the return of the Grammar Gestappo?

    Personally, I'm all for it.

    However, I'm AM the kind of person who's text messages are grammatically perfect, right down to the minutiae of punctuation and capitalisation.

    So maybe my views are a tad extreme...

    That same can't always be said for my spelling, but that's through ineptitude rather than laziness...
