What drives me completely insane are people who spell "what" like this: wat

Its all over the place and impossible to escape.

I had an ex boyfriend, who, when ever he talked, would type something as follows: "I h4t3 teh monk3y"
I hate that. A. He wouldn't spell right, nor use capitalization, and he also wouldn't stop using the damn numbers as vowels. So!!!! I dumped him and told him off about my many headaches at looking at his typing, and that would be why I didn't talk to him and I would just delete his private messeges, and stuff. He said he was sorry, and after correcting with red colouring, and bold print, and italics, We parted for a bit. When he came back, he was all like he missed me, and that he fixed everything so he typed as good as me, but after a few posts, I had to stop and ask him, "What did you fix?" And so I got really mad, and so did he..We don't talk much anymore... I also hate in Role Plays, people use ** for actions, and do not use "" for words. nor!!! Do they use '' for thoughts..It drives me nuts!!!

-Please excuse any spelling mistakes-
-for me, Color is spelled Colour-
-My name is Monica Patience Verindzes-
-And I'm peer French-

Sometimes I use illiteracy when I'm joking around.
Like, instead of saying "face" I'd say "faice".
But purposly, I'm no grammar nazi.
Of course, it would be nice if people said "you" instead of "u".
Like really, how long does to take you to click two extra keys!?

'Teh,' 'lol,' 'j00,' 'pwn'.... those are all okay with me. 'U,' 'r,' 'y,' 'wut'... those are not.

Honestly, the leetspeak words and abbreviations are normally used in sarcasm, at least among the people I know. I understand getting annoyed about words like those in my second group above, but beating people and dumping significant others over use of words like 'teh' is a bit extreme, don't you think?

I play around with the word a lot.. but I hate "u" "r" "y" "cuz" "wut" "wen" and lots of other ones. The people I used to hang out with would find an abbreviation for almost EVERY word in the sentence they were typing. gonk
