Laziness and ignorance tend to be the cause most of the time.

Laziness, they know it bugs the rest of us out here, the feel they are smarter for not giving a s**t, they don't give a s**t about what they are saying...

The list could go on but it's all rather negative. It would just be so much nicer if people like that wouldn't procreate.


Haha, this post made my morning!

I agree though, the education level (not only of youth, but of people my age and older (22)) depresses me.

Communication skills over the past 10-15 years seem to have just gone down the toilet... :-/

I'd prefer if it were just to die off, like so many other dialects have

Or just have people IP banned from this site if they type like that.

Lol, nice thought, except for the fact that Gaia would lose a HUGE portion of their revenue, so it would never happen.
Kids do it because they a) don't care about language/grammar, b) don't know how to ACTUALLY spell things (so figure "if I can't spell this word, I'll misspell everything else I say and look cool) or c) because everyone else is doing it.

I'll be the first to admit that I don't always use perfect grammar. I type like I talk, more or less, sometimes. And I'm not a perfect speller. Spell check is my FRIEND. And I do use "lol" "g2g" "brb" and things like that.

but i dun mez up da langwage i sayz i shud no.

my brain hurt when I typed that.

lolcats are the only acceptable time to type like an idiot.
I used to type ******** up when I was 13.
it would be like this, "So wutz up guyzzz? or thys or kfjshfk"
I was a horrible typer. Then gradually I began typing right.
I just didn't care.
I type like that when I'm on chats. XD
Maybe it might not be out of laziness as all of the " good-typists " are saying. Every single one of them are hypocritical because they once typed like that as well, as so did I. Shut the ******** up please.

Haha, agreed about the lolcats. But that in itself serves a point, lolcats are funny because they're cats who don't understand grammar, so it sort of makes it cute.

People who write like that... It's just sad really. This manner of speaking has actually impacted the educational system. Kids who go online, and read grammatically incorrect posts/texts learn to type incorrectly. And re-learning something is exponentially more difficult than learning something the first time.

I'm sorry, but I can honestly say that even from the time I was eleven, and first started chatting online (1998-1999) I typed to the best of my ability, and used correct grammar.

Practice makes perfect, and practicing incorrect technique will only make learning the correct way harder down the line.

Also, I'd appreciate it if you would be more tolerant of people's opinions
Laziness and a lack of spelling and grammar skillz
