correct punctuation/grammar content on forum

personally, i will use correct grammar and punctuation. well, for the most part i suppose. i like to keep it all lowercase only because it's stylistic for me.

i'd just like to see what others have to say about it or of their own style. i know there are cases in both extremes. some will talk in slang all the time and others will think that this is a some form of exhibition and final judgement of their mind.

i never use uppercase because i'm lazy - but i'm not so lazy that i wont write proper words.

txtspeak - or whatever its called - is an annoying advertisement for illiteracy

I'm fairly sure I speak for everyone when I say it's not a big deal here. I personally don't like excessive chatspeak. I find it difficult to read a sentence with very few vowels. I don't mind if someone uses shortforms like 'u' instead of 'you' but it's only a two letter difference. Just seems lazy to me.

I try to talk as clearly as possible. I only use the txtspeak or whatever the hell it is when I am on AIM or something just because it is quicker to talk to the person I am talking to.
