I went to 7 years of english school to be literate sweatdrop
if I make a mistake it's because I need more practice
and I can't read chat speak ;T
my portuguese is mostly perfect ;D

Well I would hope your Portuguese is mostly perfect, being that it's your first language and whatnot.


kyoxtohru - I can't read it either.
It makes my brain cells die though.
User ImageIt's the way you make me laugh...


Yeah.
Whenever I see it, I could swear.
At least 100 of my brain cells instantly dissolved.

@Licious;
Yeah. It's not my best either. D;
And I know. I hate it when people don't think about literacy at all.
I was talking to someone once, and she was, like, the most illiterate person you would ever meet. I told her she spelled like a Kindergartener, and she said "kindergardener**
u cant eeven speell rite and ur callin me illeterate?"
First of all, isn't it spelled Kindergarten? Gah.
And that last sentence was a nightmare.
I was sitting there, laughing my a** off.

I don't mind illiteracy all that much. Some people don't speak it so well because it's not their first language. What really pisses me off is when it IS someone's first language and they live in say the US. It's like "Learn to speak your own damn language!" or "Pay attention in school!" D:<

That level of laziness where you can't spell out your words is just terrible. But when you try to correct someone they get mad and make it out like you're some kind of snob that cares too much about small details.

I think it's more like telling someone that their fly is undone.

oh yes I am literate and yay! Sorry, it's just that I joined when I was eleven too. Nobody found me out, but when I sometimes told how old I really was people would go "0.0 what!?!? I thought you were like 14 or something"
I don't really mind some illiteracy either,but when it starts going towards that chat speak, that I didn't know existed since maybe October or earlier(At first I was thinking, What the ******** are they saying??? , excuse my foul language), I go crazy and I sometimes feel like screaming at them ,"Did you go to school?!? ,but I don't because I know they will either reply with, "shud u^p No087b" or some other rant that I can't understand.
I swear, everytime I see that dreadful excuse of a tongue or chat speak I lose a few brain cells

@Malevolent; I know! It's understandable when it's not someone's first language, but...
If it IS your first language, then... DAMN.
I hate when people get pissed when I correct them.

Interesting O__o;

@Rem;
xD; People always thought I was 16 or 17 when I was 11. I swear.
That's how mature I was.
Yeah, when it goes to chat speak, I go crazy.
And I literally laughed out loud when I read the "shud u^p No087b" part. Because sadly, some a lot of people would say that.

I think we all lose brain cells there.
Especially the people typing.
...So THAT'S why they do it! They killed all of their own existing brain cells.
Finally, an answer.

I Google the words I can't spell or I'm not sure about.
That way, I learn how to sell it correctly.
Yaaay Learning!

XD I know!
I bet they are maybe being controlled by a higher being of teh Dumb to make Smarties turn the same and next it'll be the world and we will all be destroyed by own Stupidity gonk
Maybe it even got to Bush already! (Er sorry to insult if you like Bush, it's just that I never had a feel for him even when he was running in 2000 when I was 5 in kindergarden. Also that joke was just bursting from me and I couldn't hold it)
Kinda unbelievable, but someday there might be one mistake that could change the world forever.

@Siilenttx;
Someone whose first language isn't English, but is still literate!
Wow! :O
And xD; I know!

Holy shiiiiixcakes.
Sadly, I can translate that for people...
Into a literate chat:
"I was depressed because I hadn't seen her for four days straight.

I have to go referee at a little kids' soccer game, tomorrow at around 8.

It was about halfway before I kinda got out of depression.


He's in my lap so I can't play with him. [Watch?] He's on my lap! HE WON'T MOVE!"

Spanish is my first language.

Seeing how I'm Puertorican and all.

Then again, I had english drilled into me since as young as I can remember.

I loved Thomas the Tank Engine back then. :>

Aah, really?
Spanish is my.. sister's second language.
Even though she's not exactly fluent...

The drilling probably contributed to learning the language, I bet.
...Just a hunch.

Thomas the Tank Engine~
I remember that.
My brother made me watch that...
...And he's about 5 or 6 years older than me.
