Welcome to Gaia! ::

My problem is people who don't know which word to use. A friend of mine said this in refrence to her ex-boyfriend "...i lov him hes my bf 4evah, but i didnt no that he wud brake my hart..." AAARRRRGGGHHH!!!! burning_eyes stressed scream People who TYPE IN ALL CAPS annoy me BECAUSE THEY'RE YELLING ABOUT RANDOM THINGS THAT THEY WOULDN'T BE YELLING ABOUT IN THE FIRST PLACE!!! See how annoying that is? I usually just ignore people who are using bad grammer. 1337 annoys me too, because it takes them at least two or three minutes to write something that they could type out in one. Alas, the irony of the countless hours devoted to grammer and English classes!

I have been talking "txt talk" for a long time, I admit it. Though it is bad grammer, I sometimes use "wth" when I talk to people in real life but I say "What the heck" so I don't say "w-t-h?" I think the most annoying "txt talk" is "1337" or whatever that is. Though, during Geometry test if the teacher lets you use calculators, "1337" would come in handy.

I don't exactly mind "txt-tlk", although "w/" and "w/e" really annoy me. I don't like it when people don't spell out their words, but it's not like I let it frustrate me. The only time it frustrates me is when people use it in stories, or "fanfics", or poems, or whatever. You're writing a story. You are NOT typing to your best friend over AIM. Have you ever seen a writer become famous without spelling out his words? NO. I didn't think so. What's worse is the lack of grammar. Save us all some moral fiber and USE PUNCUATION. Putting a period after a sentence is not that much to ask. Neither is using a comma so your sentences aren't stretched too long preventably, so they're not run-ons when they could be properly linked together. Unfortunately many sentences written by the buffoons that disregard such advice have never learned to age gracefully. You know, like the Tycoon game franchise. I once read a story without one period in it. Not one. I've seen many stories without quotation marks. I've seen poems written so badly I had to wear protective headgear to keep the memory of it from making my head bleed in every possible way and then explode. This is what REALLY annoys me.

Ahem, the following quote is a real statement, "lol omg haxx roflcopter yuu n00b!!!!!" This message was sent to me two weeks ago by a disgruntled pervert who was shouting at me for reporting him after I saw this in Barton Town, "HUMAN N ANIMALS SEX SLAVVE RP!!!!!!! PLEASE COME IM DESPRATE"
Every one of the words (apart from lol, I don't mind lol) in that PM made me want to cry. They aren't even slightly words! AAAAAAAAAGH! This man was the absolute perfect example of a stereotypical n00b. He even said the one comment that everybody uses to make fun of them, it really freaked me out! I don't know whether this was a big joke, this guy was saying it to make a point, or whether it was actually genuine, but this was a real extract from a PM that I received... *shudder*

I have a friend who intentionally misspells words. Like good to gewd, cool to kewl, having to havin, night to nite. I have no trouble talking to people that use chatspeak, though I prefer regular English. It's amusing to hear that friend go "Gewd nite bro!"

"plz" does not mean "please". It really means "I am too lazy and/or stupid to type three extra letters."

I'm not against anyone who uses text-talk on the internet, but what the hell is wrong with the poeple that use it in real life?
