Shinobi 1977 My notion is to just set the proper example. Refuse to use text talk even when everyone else in a chat room is. Sooner or later, it'll rub off. I've chatted with people who've had atrocious spelling and grammar. After a while of chatting with me, they've improved dramatically, all without my saying a word. Flaming and nagging will do just the opposite. When you get on someone's case about a bad habit, it often makes them do it more just to be obstinant. So I would suggest just set the proper example, and if enough of we do it, we'll start to see a change on Gaia (I hope).
I completely agree with you. I have noticed that when one does something enough, it tends to rub off on others around them. I think that if all of us just keep typing and saying what we are now, if not improving, we can really set an example for others here on Gaia and maybe even other websites/chat rooms. A problem with this is that they aren't being educated properly in the first place, so some of the structures and spellings look correct to them. There really isn't that much we can do about the education part of it (unless we make some sort of partition or something...but that probably won't happen).

metalmalzan Trying not to stretch. Note forward post. Erm, the style where: * * * ** ** and so forth might not work. Reasoning: Some gaians are too lazy to correct grammar skills, and as people around them have an effect, well, they will taint others... bueagh, my friend actually, well supports txt tlk, and I am being tainted by his spelling! evil
I completely agree with you on this one. I feel as though people are so lazy that they really just don't give a damn anymore.

"Yes, exactly. I am constantly getting annoyed with my friends' bad grammar and spelling. One of my friends' said that she knows that she is spelling wrong, but she's just too lazy to fix it. Call me a Grammar Nazi for this but, I bug her until she fixes it."
