I take pride in the fact that I at least attempt to type as well as I can on the internet.

Now for the actual topic, odd and probably meaningless as it may be.
What do you think about the way you type?
And how about your opinion on other people on how they type?

I L13k th3 w4y I 7yp3, I7 m4k3s m3 sp3c14L.

On a more serious note, I could not care less how people like to type so long as it's semi understandable. That's if they even want me to understand it in the first place.

I hate people that feel they must correct every little mistake with a "FIXED IT FOR YOU", maybe I dont want it fixed you morons. I like it wrong. Go suck a pole.

That means you don't like me? :( I only "fixed it" to finish Serix's sentence....sort of. I think (in my terms) Serix was trying to say "a lot of." That would be more logical, no?

Fine, fine. I'll go suck on that pole.

To be honest I didnt even read past the first post, but whatever..

@Lina : I do proof read, there should minimal (or none) errors on my part I suppose.

the of would be extra in case you wanted to add flow and aesthetic value to the sentence, but in terms of grammar the sentence was correctly phrased.

but really guys, need we banter about grammar? the only thing we should be pissed off about is the indecent use of smileys, and people like DoomsDayDevice are the incarnation of everything i hate on the internet

If I had a webcam I would. Right now all I have is a microphone. So you'll have to jerk it to my voice.

hey that's a good idea!

I've never heard of a joke on a video before. I'll be sure to check it out.

Well, perhaps in the event that the opinion was popular, I could manage to type in the manner of a "stuck up snob"; however, I find it quite ridiculus to type in a fashion where the general population has trouble comprehending the message you are stating. On the contrary, if an individual types with overall lackluster and as if a respect for themselves has been loss then I have no choice but to not respect him and hound that individual on every grammatical error that could have easily been prevented by studying closer in English.
(I could type more snobby, but I don't want you guys to have to break out the dictionary to read a post.)
Yeah that's normally how I type my papers, very (more) extensive vocabulary, because I know my teachers can understand it and even if they don't understand it they have the means to find out what a word means either by interpretation or a dictionary.

Everyone is going to make mistakes. But, what I don't understand is WHY...when Firefox HAS A BUILT IN SPELL CHECKER...people still don't even try to type correctly.

lol theres a bunch of spelling errors and grammatical errors in the snobby part.


i think everyone has two modes of typing anyways, just like how you have different ways of speaking depending on who you are with. its not snobby, its just formal and informal.

I usually try to type with proper spelling and grammar. My Firefox's spellcheck function is always turned on as well. :D
