We're not talking grammar mate... were talking dumbed down text-speech that doesn't even reflect phonetic spelling... it's just pointless and looks stupid. Sorry!


I totally agree. I think calling it a generational thing is weak, too. I am younger than a lot of the people on here, but I don't think it's unreasonable to expect people to write cogent sentences. When people no longer expect this in writing, quality of though drops and drops. I don't care if your punctuation isn't worth it or if you misspell some things, but paragraph-length posts without a single period or ones that use that God-awful text speak drives me up the wall. Abreviations like lol or btw or ftw are fine, but stuff like 2nite and gr8 drive me nuts. Especially when they use random elipses with a period missing every.. other.. word, or worse, when they use them instead of periods. Even if you're texting me, I won't respond if that's the way you go about it.

The ones that don't speak English well are not the ones usually bugging me. I can tell if it's just a difficulty with the language.
