Perfect Literacy Online, does it matter? Options

[Paradox of Life]

Yeah, couldn't think of any creative choices for the poll, but do you think it matters to type correctly online? Personally, I think it does because it seems like the people who don't 'tipe lyk dis' are a lot more .. logical than the ones that do type that way. What do you think?

[gelionie]

I think as long as it's understandable, I can accept that.
Although typing grammatically correct would give others an impression that you are not an idiot of some sort.

[Paradox of Life]

if you dont think it matters...then why did you type it perfectly.

Just because someone thinks homosexuality is alright, doesn't mean they have to be a homosexual.

[Shana_Kru]

It dosent matter.... dosent make any smarter or less smarter u cant judge a person on there typing...and usually you come on the net in ur free time an u can do watevah the hell u like

[avalon*]

As long as everything is spelled correctly.

[*xcaitlinx*]

yeah, but a lot of people...(most people especially on cB) are too obsessed with how other people write. get over it and get over yourself. all because someone abbreviates "you" as "u" or "this" as "dis", doesn't mean that you're a perfect english student and the other person isnt. move on with your life and stop whining.

[sadolakced acid]

typing has degraded to be the lowest form of communication (i dunno... rap may be lower...)

I don't really care. People like (brownsugar08) though that try to act like they are perfect I criticize them when they mess up though. Yeah. I type dependin on wat mood I'm in.

[Aestuarium]

If you're not doing it on purpose, no. I hate n00bs though.

I think as long as u are easily understood, how u type is not that important. I do, however, think that when u have to stop and decipher what people are saying, that you need to cut back on the misspelling of things. But for me, and "u" instead of you everyonce in a while never hurt anyone.

ahh, but l33t? totally illegible stuff that is...

some people push the boundries of the readable limit, by useing so many acronyms i think it's the US goverment.

your CO will see you about the PKO in the POR in the THR with the DET meeting.

[delicateATROCiTY]

i think that typing correctly gives people the impression that you're intelligent, but it doesn't really matter to me as long as it's readable.

[DrSMooTH]

it nice when ppl can understand what you write and say. it gets annoying after w hile to keep saying "wtf are you trying to say". so yeah, it matters.

[iiTsDAYNA]

You people are hilarious! Why does it matter how other people type. Its none of your business and I dont think you should worry about it.

Why do u find it neccessary to worry about how people type.

[*suddenly she*]

as long as it's understandable. i would prefer it that they type in full words, but it's none of my business. usually.

[ichigofan]

It depends, If I cant understand what people are typing then I think that it is important but if its minor grammatical problems then its ok

[*tweeak*]

Gramatical errors make me twitch. Someone on this show that James is watching said "bragging rights is braggig rights" and I demanded him to turn it off before the guy decided to speak again

[*Tainted Euphoria*]

So I know this is an old topic, but I've been seeing more and more xamples of that MORONIC way of typing, so I decided to vent a bit...in here.

Okay, I know there are people out there with less-than-perfect grammar and spelling, and I can deal with that, but when you so blatantly type with the most obnoxious spelling/grammatical errors on purpose, it truly does reflect badly on you.

I know for certain that when I see someone doing that, it totally turns me off to them. I'd rather not talk to anyone who's going to message me with something that I'll have to decode to understand.

I wish this would stop. I know that my little rant isn't going to stop it, but now my opinion is out there for everyone to see.

Yay me, and yes, I know, I'm not queen of the freakin' world.

Kthx

[oneandonlytammie]

A few words mispelled here and there are fine.
As long as it looks like you're educated. (unlyk dis)

[ApocalypseAelis]

It doesn't necessarily matter, but it is going to make people think you're retarded.

[misoshiru]

yes it does. unless it's words like "u" instead of "you" then it's fine. but if people type in a way that it's unreadable, then that's definately a problem. anyway, it's easier for the person who's reading what you're typing when you type correctly.

[BOOGERSHAHA]

whatever. if they want to type like that, i'm all for it. their fault they look like morons to the rest of us though.

[Atobe_Keigo]

I hate it when people type like that. It's annoying and I don't understand it sometimes. Though, it's okay. As long they can explain in English what it really means after.

[emazing]

Yehh. I think literacy matters online and offline, because if you get too used to the way you type 'LyK DiS' online, then it might apply offline.
It also gets pretty annoying.

[PiGo]

Yes it does, but only to a certain extent. I'm not going to think any less of a person because they don't capitalize the word 'I' or spell 'you', 'u'. However, using sticky caps and that kind of stuff would probably lower my image of you a little.

[eli5e]

haha ..no i don't think so ... i mean.. i dont type .like a middle schooler anymore... but i dont type all proper like i'm writing a paper or anything. haha
