What on earth is she talking about? Well, have you ever found it really hard to spell things correctly on the computer after an AIM conversation? Yikes, I have.. in fact right now... it's taking me 2 times longer to type out this post. ....it's annoying...
Anyway, I find it especially hard when I'm trying to right a paper - I start using abbreviations. So what about you? |

Yeah sorta, I use semi-good grammar and spelling on AIM. I don't really use LOL or an excessive amount of l33t; but sometimes I get really caught up and when I'm posting and IMing I'll switch up words like "you're" and "your" for no real reason except neglect (and in most cases lack of sleep). A lot of IRL friends joke with me that I use actual punctuation in my IMs and IOL friends are always nitpicking my spelling!!! It's not that I can't, it's that I don't care about a few posts here and there.
