Does someone who makes a typing error anger you and force you to correct them? I don't mind a simple mistake for example between "there and their" but if someone who types like this for example: "i waz juzt wakling dwn the stret nd i saw thse too catz" Those are the people that I cannot simply stand i won't go and proofread and correct their entire sentence cause it'd just be a waste of time. Maybe I made a few grammar mistakes in this very paragraph but in my opinion a few mistakes here and there are fine but with a whole paragraph full of them appear its rather irritating. So I ask you all does peoples grammar or spelling on the internet tick you off or intrigue you to wonder how they type like that?

Lol!!!! I pretty much do what I can to write properly. I make mental tabs of mistakes grammatically, but I personally can't spell to save my life so I don't judge that too much!

But yes, I csn easily get annoyed with those who are too lazy to type full words or thoughts (not people translating into English, but those who cut of words, and such)

While I would prefer decent grammar and spelling, I don't let it bother me because I can't.change it, that's how they choose to type. I might make a joke about it every now and again, but I don't expect it to change anything.

Doesn't anger me, but it annoys me when they say it to act cool and stuff. I mean, life is not spelled like "lyf".

It seems like many girls do have the tendency to add extra letters to words but that doesn't bother me to much unless its like 10 extra letters lol .

I understand for the people who dont have English as a first language due to how hard it is to learn nonetheless type a second language with perfect grammar and spelling ( I know due to me trying to learn Portugese that is rough learning a second language :eek:
But it's all goog KGB as long as your making the effort haha xd

Lol English is my primary language, but I've seen some posts (mostly late at night) when it is apparantly that the person is translating what they say into English XD!

As I stated above I understand that people who don't have English as a first language have an huge exception to what i'm saying above cause I know how hard it is to learn , speak and type in a second language. But if you go to a school in the united states where English is the main language and it is taught in school from Pre-K to High school and beyond you'd think they would be able to not type like "i waz juzt wakling dwn the stret nd i saw thse too catz" I never stated they had to be perfect cause I know I make mistakes everyone does all i'm pointing out is their spelling and grammar should be some type of comprehensible.

The only things that anger me...wait, I'd like to use the word insult instead of anger...are:

1. Writing an entire paragraph as one sentence. That's just wrong.

2. Your second example of complete gibberish.

It's not hard to learn how to spell, and if you're just too lazy to do it properly, then I pray to the heavens that you're removed from existance, including time itself. I'd prefer it if people in the far future did not find any such messages, it just looks bad. *straightens tie*

Words couldn't describe how much I agree with you.If your too lazy to learn how to get a somewhat decent grammar and spelling skills then i'll use what you said quote on quote , " Then I pray to the heavens that you're removed from existence, including time itself" I pray that that the next generation and the generations after that don't follow some of the grammar skills and beliefs that people in the generation we live in do. :shrug:

I wouldn't say I am a fully fledged Grammar Nazi. I'd rather not waste my time correcting people with spelling skills of the ones that I've stated above like most grammar nazis do. I'll just keep my silenced opinions to myself :rolleyes:

I write stories and it's my dream to be an author one day, so I tend to pay more attention to my spelling and grammar. And honestly? Yes, sometimes it can tick me off to read a post where I have to spend almost five minutes translating it into normal English. I'm fine with some mistakes - English isn't my native tongue either, so I still make some mistakes - but if I have to wonder what the hell a person is talking about, then I just skip the post.

It's not that hard to try and at least make a decent, understandable text.

I don't really care for how others type, mainly because I don't see the extreme cases that much, I guess. I'll point it out if they made a funny error though xd
