Um, I actually disagree with that statement, when he says Illiterate, it means that they can't Read, or Write correctly, in other words, illiterate. I mean, if you look at the whole stand point of the statement, he or she is just trying to degrade others because the lessers can't stand up against being criticied into better grammar.

Very well put, Alexia. Anyone else think this person deserves a smack to the back of the head?

Ugly? I beg to differ. But yes, he needs to be destroyed... Troll...

Bring it, troll. We are armed grammarians. twisted

We shouldn't let people like this get to us. All they really want is to get us mad an dlaugh at us. It's a low level of intertanment!

*pulls the sword that belongs to the one she loves out*

whee I'm ready to go. Anyone else?  

[Wolfie Kid]

That cheeky little toad!! I use proper English as it is the language we speak... AND you can actually understand it!! Do YOU go around saying 'lol', or 'orly?'? NO! So why bother doing it online? It confuses people!  

[Patron with a Mission]

Very well put. ^.^  

[MadnessFreak]

You did notice he's joking, right? Note that he used perfect grammar for his posts. >.>  

[Patron with a Mission]

One can only hope...

No, you wouldn't say "lol", but you would "Laugh out loud". To me, this is acceptable.

On there other hand, there's no excuse for writing "orly?" to mean "oh really?"  

[Patron with a Mission]

You're right...there is no excuse to be typing "orly" or any other text talk for that matter...except on cell phones.

SMS messenger can get quiet expensive, as my love found out when his mom yelled at him about the bill...in which I had been correctly typing my words in all of my messages. confused Then I had to learn a bit of text talk to save him another lecture. The things one does for love...*sigh*

But other than that, I think one should type as they speak in life: in proper English  

[Wolfie Kid]

I mean, if someone has been injured and struggles to type out full words... then that's okay. I have a friend who broke her wrist and could only bash the keyboard randomly to be able to type properly... but she still made an effort to be understood. Yeah: we may get called dorks and nerds... but at least we can try and save the english language from being lost forever... after all, with the attitude going around these days, who else is going to?  

[Patron with a Mission]

I like your attitude. ^.^

You bring up a good point. One time, a table (wooden one,too.) fell on my left hand. Needless to say, this required stitches. Thankfully, my bones were tough and nothing broke except skin and blood vessels, but the impact made my left hand useless when it came to typing. Even today, I still have some difficulty typing right because I'll miss keys with my left hand. However, I've learned the art of typing fast, so my words won't come out like this:

"this iss the wya I type whne I dont controld my hands when they type."

(This is the way I type when I don't control my hands when they type.)

If you're injured, then there's the on-screen keyboard. It's annoying but it helps a lot when your keyboard is stuck. whee  

[Wolfie Kid]

Hmm... I'll tell my friend about that next time she breaks something... she's one of those rough sorts, so it's inevitable that it will happen again.  

[Starry Phoenix]

wow!

That is just insane. I wish I could have replied to that topic. domokun
