My mom! She knows better. My mother is grammatically brilliant. She knows all the rules and all the advanced stuff that even I don't know. But when I received text messages from her, they are littered with "txt tlk". gonk
I think with some people, especially the ones who have to be professional all day, slipping into "txt tlk" mode online is equivalent to getting out of the business suit and slipping into a comfy pair of sweat pants at the end of the day.
i am very literate You are? Well that's funny, because to me, it looks like you're missing something. yeah what The first letter of a sentence is supposed to be capitalized. All you need to do is hold down the Shift key while typing the letter.
When you write the letter "I" in reference to yourself, it is always supposed to be uppercase (same as capitalized). Oh, I didn't know that Am I literate now Almost. There's just one more thing you need. [red]Yeah what Punctuation. When your sentence comes to an end, it needs either a period (.), exclamation point (!) or question mark (?) (for questions only). Otherwise, it's not complete. Oh, I get it! Thank you so much for your help. Now I'm truly literate! it's not a problem. I'm glad I could be of help.
Capitalize those I's! Punctuate that sentence's posterior.

As far as text messaging goes, I tend to slip to acronyms like lol, brb, and my personal favorite, OMFJEEZUSJOOCE WTFIZZNIZZLE?!?!
But when I'm chatting in a forum or writing something, it's rare to find me making any amount of errors. I might accidentally come out with an "ain't" just due to growing up in rural South Carolina, and maybe the odd would of, in stead of would have.
Other then that, I tend to be a pretty clean grammered, punctuated, capitalized guy.

Ezra Pound Queen of the Blue Twins My sister has a business online and I know she uses proper English in her business correspondence, but in regular emails to family and friends she will slip into the text talk. burning_eyes Drives me insane. domokun Especially since this woman has a degree, is an officer in the Air Force and has an IQ in the 200's !!! eek I just don't get it. rolleyes I highly, highly doubt she truly has an IQ of over 200, since that would put her as one of the most intelligent people to ever exist. Considering how IQ tests are normed, an IQ of over 190 would place a person at the 99.9999999th percentile. How's this for an answer to why adults tend not to type correctly? They don't care, and justly so. Nobody cares except you lot. As long as what they type can be understood, it does not matter.
Actually, I agree wholeheartedly with Ezra. So long as you keep your insanely l33ted and txty grammar out of everyday face to face conversation, I won't shoot you in the face.

They don't care, and justly so. Nobody cares except you lot. As long as what they type can be understood, it does not matter. I agree. It bothers me to no end when people use improper grammar and spelling on official documents, advertisements, and basically anything that is seen by the masses as something that should be 'professional.' As far as texting on a phone, e-mail, IMs, and such, I have no problem with 'lol,' 'brb,' 'wtf' and other expressions. It really is annoying and pedantic to criticize someone who has (and generally uses) a firm grasp of the English language for using an occasional l33t-ism. Of course, if that's all someone ever uses for communication, that gets annoying.
Also, thank you for pointing out the bit about the IQ.
