Type normal, PEOPLE!!! D:<

It's weird how no one can type normally on the internet.


SOME PEOPLE TYPE LIKE THIS!!! (You don't have to shout, my gosh!)

and sum ppl type lyke this lol becuz it soooo funy lololololll (spell words right and start punctuating your sentences!  mad )

And Some People Type Like This. (okay, it's good to capitalize your sentences, but not every single word!)

and then some people type with a whole bunch of annoying acronyms, like:
"ROFL LOL OMG TTYL!!!!!!!!!!!" (what? You think I know what all those letters mean?)

Actually, I do know what those acronyms mean, but a lot of times, I have no idea what they're even trying to say. I've even seen people putting every word they type in acronyms! I mean, what the heck?


Seriously, how do you expect me to know what you're saying? Ugh, it's like trying to talk to a five-year-old sometimes.

Does anyone agree? Discuss.  tongue

No that was an example on how annyoing people write their posts. No need to facepalm, I don't normally write like that, (unless it's sarcasm), so I'm not that annoying.

My mom says that you should use grammar on the web because you talk how you type and that can affect your ability in school, but I type how I talk so I have no problem

Okay, I kid.  tongue  I have to agree that typing poorly (whether it's due to bad grammar, spelling, annoying capitalization, etc) is very distracting and is difficult to read. In all honesty I tend to skip over posts with particularly bad writing. I guess in my opinion if it's not worth their time to type properly, then it's not worth my time to try to decipher their post.  hmm

So? It doesn't mean I can't start this topic.

Besides, there isn't any similar topic to this right now,
so might as well just discuss this.

And also, I know "nothing changes". You act as if I'm trying to force all people to type normally. I'm just sharing my thoughts on bad grammar on the internet.

The ponies! =_=

Anyways, yeah. Once I was on the forums and some guy replied to me.
I forgot what he said, but all I can remember was there was a lot of incomplete verbs (eh, I have no idea why I said "verbs" when I meant to say "words"), unpunctuated sentences, annoying acronyms, and all that other annoying stuff. Instead of sticking around trying to figure out what it said, I just skipped it.
