If there is one thing I truly hate when debating it is coming up against someone, particularily an ED-er, who claims: "This is teh int. whu cars? I'm an AP stud. who gets 99% in English. Ur a moron fur not understanding and muking suc a big deal about grammer."
...
If you are in a goddamned AP class act like it, ********. Nobody is going to believe your are such a stellar student when you can't even spell grammar right, dickwad. I'm not going to take 5 minutes out of MY day to decipher your post because you are too ******** lazy to type like a person who's IQ exceeds Nicole Richie's bust line.
Discuss any run ins you have had with 'AP students' who act like doped-up preschoolers.

Once I met a kid who was seriously stupid.
When we (antecedent=some friends and myself) told him to shut up he tried to convince us that he had gotten a 36 on his ACTs...
And then he said that his mom could verify it by bringing in his score.
Mysteriously his mother showed up, but there was no large envelope containing the aforementioned scores. When we asked her about it she just gave us this look and walked away.

Spanny sad What's AP? Is this an American thing? That's where it originated, but it is available outside the country (if I remember right.) It's "Advanced Placement" -- classes at the end of which you take a test, and you can get college credit based on your score and college's policies. Example: Get a 3 on the APUSH, get 4 history credits in college. The scores are 1 to 5, 5 being optimal. Typically, to get a 3, you need ~40% right. A 5 is around 65% of the test right. These are not easy tests, though, so don't go thinking "that's ridiculously easy." I myself got a 3 on the AP English test from last year (largely because I do not do well on timed writings), and MIT accepts a 4 on the BC Calculus exam (for every other test, though, they only accept fives.)

They are high school courses which are kind of like honors classes. You can, depending on your grade and the college you want to get into, get a university credit for having completed them.

Treacherous Desire Spanny sad What's AP? Is this an American thing?

The Advanced Placement program is administered by the College Board, the same dirty bastards who came up with the SAT, and other standardized tests.

My 'future' English teacher created one of the question formats on the provincial exam.
The one she, oddly enough, hates the most.

Also, I should note that I know people in AP English who don't type correctly at all whilst online.

I've never had a problem with people typing incorrectly as far as capitalization goes, especially in messenger programs or chatrooms. I also accept and even use some abbreviations, such as the very common BRB and LOL. However, everything else is too important for me not to get irked by. I can't stand "U," "R," and all these other bullshit abbreviations. If you can't be bothered with typing two more ******** letters, I won't even bother to read what you write.
Normally, what I do in situations like those is play stupid. I play stupid until they write things correctly. Ahh, it pisses them off the most when they finally write it correctly and I finally blurt out, "You see? Look at all the work you would have saved yourself should you have written it correctly the first time around!" I can't get enough of it. I guess that's what keeps me somewhat sane after watching so many ******** retards commit syntax and spelling genocide.
I hate people.

When I run up against this kind of BS from someone claiming to be an AP student, it is usually due to one of two reasons:
A) This person is just a little too eager to announce their AP status to an entire forum of people, which makes me wonder if they're not just completely full of it; and, by "it" I mean s**t. Maybe some people just don't realize that claiming to be a member of the Prometheus Society over the internet doesn't automatically make it so. If you were so intellectually superior to the rest of us, chances are, you would let your writing speak for itself. And, if you were capable of expressing your thoughts more eloquently why would you feel the need to defend yourself so rigorously?
B) "Advanced placement" is not necissarily synonomous with "intelligent." I'm sorry to say it, but, while being an honor student is definately something to be proud of, it does not mean you're a particularily smart individual. That said, there are a lot of intelligent people who are AP students, but being in an AP class or "gifted program" alone is indicative of little else than academic diligence. The public school system doesn't teach students how to think for themselves or apply the curriculum to relevant, real-life situations; it teaches kids how to regurgitate what they think their teacher wants to hear.
