Ok this is a personal pet peeve of mine. I only post it here as opposed to lounge because I see a lot of this here and it drives me bonkers, plus i dont read the lounge.
When people come on with a bug report or a complaint or whatever, do any of them proofread? Obviously not since they dont even take the time to spell out words completely. Seriously does it save you that much time using y r u not gonna stfu.
This becomes a problem when peopl cant even understand when your saying, I'd post examples but I dont want to start a flame war.
Having said that it kinda hurts your chances of public sentiment when you see posts like this.
Dont nerf TR MAX OMG teh are teh ubah!

(u, r, ur, ne, ne1, k, thx, plz, and so on)

SOmetimes in game I understand the need to truncate, roger becomes rgr logicly enough in a fire fight, but on a public posting board? I dont know if it's alziness or just tha tpeople wernt taught to type right.

Who knows? A combination of both? I'd say the reason is is because of their crazy alziness. Human nature is to be alzy. So if we didn't we'd be denying human nature.
kthnxbye UBER I AM |337!!!!11 i am teh r0x0r u r teh fux0rd

Doppler, thanks for making this thread. I find it very amusing that you're saying what you're saying. You don't need to post any examples, you're right, because you are an example of exactly what you're complaining about. Re-read your posts.
I'm not trying to flame you, it honestly made me laugh that you're saying: "why cant you peopl use spellcheck your just too alzy?"

Ok....this is the line � and your over here >>>>>
No one actually speaks like that, and I think tis good to use "l33t" it abreviates long words making chatting faster

People use "words" like that for 2 reasons. 1 which makes sence: it saves time in games, 2 which doesnt make to much sence : because they think it looks cool.

I don't mind the daily acronyms, like: LOL, BTW, etc. But shit like n00b, j00, 0wn3d, pw3d is really fucking annoying. Speak english.

Personaly i whould assert that there's a difrence between a typo, and deliberatly not going the gramatical distance.
I'm not trying to flame you, it honestly made me laugh that you're saying: "why cant you peopl use spellcheck your just too alzy?"
Ok use the scroll bar, it's the little thing to the right of the window, read my post again, there there that's it. Did I at any time say anything about spell check? Funny for a guy trying not to flame you kinda sorta maybe just a little bit started it out like one, nice try though.
In other news yes i need to proofread better, unfortunatly I have dislexia to a minor extent, that's why people who dont even make the attempt bother me so much. If i type something and proofread it at anything but a word by word rate I'll miss these kind of things, deal with it.

just seems a little ironic to me that your preaching to people how they should communicate on a forum, i just highlighted a section which made me smile TIA.
so you've played the dyslexia card, next you can insult my mum and then I can tell you she's dead , then we can feel equally guilty :/
k thx bye.

1) I whouldn't insult someones mom, i've never found it half as witty as people seem to think it is.
2) I whouldnt feel guilty about it anyway, i didnt kill her, why should i feel guilty.
