I'm making this post perfect in every single way so I don't annoy people. Why get annoyed with text talk? Just stop reading the post if it annoys you! Don't comment about it, because that probably annoys more people than just talking in text talk does.

Discuss what i said, and if text talk annoys you. also discuss if people getting upset about text talk annoys u. OH NO I SAID U INSTEAD OF YOU! NOOOO!

I don't mind a little bit of text speak (like using "u" instead of you or some abbreviation), but when someone is like:

New Scratcher wrote:
O hai!!!!1!!! My n4m3 1s N3wScr47ch3r!!!!!! LOLLLL!!!! 1 1s s0 1337!

I get a little ticked off. Otherwise I'm not exactly annoyed by it smile

That's because this is not a text.

Normal forumers speak English, not this crazy code of nonsense.

It's sort of like someone poking you. Over and over. And it annoys you so much you can't ignore it. You would ignore it. But you can't. You know that adults also use this forum, right? Not only texting-addicted teens...

This is why I wished Scratch was like Vizzed in the fact that you will get warned after having too much improper English.

somtimes it does get annoying, but u just hav 2 get used 2 it.

I learn from a thread posted a long time ago, but I never used it because I thought it was kinda lame tongue

scratchisthebest · 2011-07-10 19:05:07

Ugh. Bugs me so much. I don't know why. Do these people have a rule that says you can't spend more than 30 seconds typing, so they say ppl instead of people? Are these people's shift keys broken?

I'm annoyed when people use text talk, but I'm even MORE annoyed when people spell obvious words wrong, like the word "here" is spelled "heer" on purpose. Believe it or not, I'm a grammar freak and I rarely text talk, and if I do it's nothing more than u for you and ur for your. (And LOL and those things)
MY MORAL TO NEW SCRATCHERS: Don't overdo the text talk. It takes more effort to find a way to spell something wrong deliberately than to spell it actually the right way. And people won't be happy when they can't undetstand what you're saying.

imnotbob, you're not overdoing it. Overdoing it is when nobody can read your posts.

Well, people really shouldn't be getting all up in each other's faces about the way they type. As long as the message is clear - that's really what matters. It takes all kinds to make a world...and some of them use text-talk abbreviations smile

Let's try and be welcoming and helpful no matter how people type.

hmnwilson · 2011-07-10 22:17:55

It seems wrong to ignore a person's posts just because their writing style is annoying to read. If it's mildly legible, I try to answer their posts but also ask them to write more clearly, and I don't see the harm in doing that.

Also: I find it much more annoying when people write in LOLspeak, eg. "HAY GUYZ CHEK OUT MAI AWSUMLY KOOL PROJECTZ!!! LOL XD" It's fine with LOLcats, but when inserted into out-of-context posts it looks really immature.

jji7skyline · 2011-07-11 02:00:51

I just find it a bit annoying but tolerance is key smile

helltank · 2011-07-11 04:27:41

I find it hilarious that all of imnotbob's posts so far have at least 1 error.

I mock your pitiful English.

I h8 i1 w3n pplz tok leik tis.

Try to ignore it. I would, but I'm too busy on raging by that point. I start reading thinking it could be productive, then I start to rage.

Edit: I will send Steven Colbert on you textspeakers.

Imnotbob, the problem is a lot of your posts ignore punctuation altogether.
