Grammar and vocabulary on the internet

[Lina]

Now, it's understandable that people, including me, often make mistakes in our grammar and vocabulary while chatting on the internet.

However, I've ran into folks (in other forums, mind you) who brag about typing in ways that are hard to understand, and when challenged about this, proclaim, "If I type correctly, then I can't make fun of a grammar Nazi like you!"

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 know I make mistakes, and I honestly could care less, but I try to spell everything correctly and crap just so I can do better when I'm actually writing stuff. As for everyone else, as long as I can understand what they're typing, I don't really mind how they type. i mene dey can tip lik dis if dey want, but in my eyes I can read that and I don't really mind, I used to be like that when I was younger and thats how I typed because in my opinion it was much faster, eventually when they mature they'll learn a more proper way.

Those that can't type decently without going 1337 are probably ( stereotyping!! yay ) big fat losers that aren't doing good in life and needed to be unique.

I like reading something readable. Lito typos are fine for me..and I kind of like those...messed up words sometime. Like Little = Lito... You = u ( saved me hours of fun )

[Salzour]

Actually being a fat loser myself and knowing a few fat losers online they don't use 1337 speak. Only people I've ever seen use 1337 are asians. Call me racist if you want but that's what I've seen.

Such things can have a huge effect on the impression of a statement.

For example, to use a common example.

A sentence without punctuation.
"A women without her man is nothing".

On way of punctuating a sentence.
"A women, with her man, is nothing".

Another way of punctuating a sentence.
"A women: without her, man is nothing"

Each statement has a different meaning.

Hehe none of those are grammatically correct
I think you meant to write "A woman"

i like my typing, when im pissed i usually become a grammar nazi, when im feeling queezy/regular i just type out randomly, and when im happy for some reason, now for example, i dont really care about capitalization and spacing between sentences.

serious cockness.

[Greed]

There's a bunch of grammar mistakes/typos in my posts. And half the time they get quoted and keep reminding me that I made a mistake ._. and then I see it again and again and again just sitting there.. like a cockroach... and I want squish it soo bad.. and .. wow I went off topic there.

Lesson of the day:

Stop quoting me! >___>;;;

Lies! Lies! Lies! D:

Go back and reread it! >.<

[Jakuza]

I type as normal as I can. I know I make mistakes here and there, but I doubt somebody would suicide over it.

[AbysmalGuilt]

I notice one thing about my typing. I overuse commas. One more thing is that I sometimes type a word misspelled, "seperately", for instance. I know it's spelled the wrong way, but I still do it every time.

[TaleWillPrevail]

I don't judge on grammar or spelling, just how many smileys you use in one paragraph.

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..

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

[Leviarel]

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

[Oisterman]

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.
