Last night, I took the social inequality finals, and we were given the chance to take it either alone and with a partner. I was about to take it alone, but the guy above me tapped me on the shoulder and insisted we partner up.
Not wanting to be mean, I said yes. I looked at the first three questions he answered, and it was mostly this:
Question: "What is something you wanted to say that you haven't said already?"
His answer: "i wated to say thank u and it was an honor having u 4 a teacher."
Me: *loud whisper* "WHAT ARE YOU DOING? You'll make us lose points."
Him: "Don't you believe in chatspeak?"
Me to myself: crying
---------
I ended up answering the rest after he repeated that two more times. Then before we turned it in, I fixed everything. Among his mistakes were "skool" and basically a repeat of the above. To top it off, the guy never went beyond the text book and just wrote what was on his notes. -sigh- We better not have lost points. I will not be happy if we did.

I hate all the names they come up with for it. "Chatspeak", "speed type", "Spead talk" Gah. It's just laziness and ignorance, it's not typing fast to save time.

I agree completely with you; I find it easier to just write normally. -shrugs-

Meh...could be worse. One of the questions on the teacher evaluation we had to fill out in every class had "like" spelled "lke" ... I hit my head on my desk on that one. I didn't notice it until my 5th evaluation.

Umm... wow. My English teacher is pretty strict and kick-arse. He wouldn't take that bullcrap. I bet he'd announce to our class that someone wrote something illiterate or retarded... or something along the lines of that.
All my friends know I'm pretty much a stickler when it comes to grammar. I would scream at them and point out their mistakes... like the rude little stickler I am. Eheheh....
Hmm. Ninth grade honors English... my honors class doesn't really act like one. *sigh*

To update you all, I got an A+ for the exam, so I guess spelling wouldn't have mattered. stare

That's double-sided.
Yay that you got an A+, but blah for
the "spelling doesn't matter much".

I suppose what bothered me the most was the way it didn't matter how we wrote or anything. Ironically enough, the professor was encouraging us to get educated so we could help set the scales of society a bit more equal.
Doesn't this demonstrate the exact opposite is happening? -shrugs-

Should there be a next time just say no and stick to it and let the dumb student fail because of their own laziness and knowledge, don't let them drag you down cause that is just not right.

Did you know I have nightmares about that sort of thing happening? Seriously, I have had some really bad realistic dreams about failing a test or being stuck in such a situation. I salute you for dealing with that. -shudders- I do believe I would have fallen out of my seat and gone into convulsions over that. Okay, I probably wouldn't go into convulsions, but I would have fallen out of my seat.

May the gods of grammar smite him. Chatspeak is bad enough on the computer, but in the real world? Please. Just please. Somebody else will have to kill him for me- I'm going to go make myself a stiff drink. Maybe this will have been a bad dream.

Nicholas Kaze May the gods of grammar smite him. Chatspeak is bad enough on the computer, but in the real world? Please. Just please. Somebody else will have to kill him for me- I'm going to go make myself a stiff drink. Maybe this will have been a bad dream. Can you make another drink for me? I think I'm going to join you in trying to snap out of this nightmare that hopefully is not real.
