You are the apple...






Does anyone else get EXTREMELY irritated when people just cant seem to use decent English when they're typing? If you're foreign to the language, cool, but there are people who are native English speakers but they just cant see to form coherent sentences. It annoys the hell out of me. If it's text speak, cool. I can at least understand what you're saying. But if its filled with typos and just horrible English, I cant stand it...






and I am your core.

Sink your teeth into forever...

It only annoys me if it's constant and I don't get the point in what a person is saying...
If someone is saying "I has _________" it doesn't bother me much, cause I at least know what they mean. but if it's just constant blabber that I can;t understand, it's annoying...

4l$0 wh3n p30pl3 t4lk l1k3 th1$, it gets on my nerves.... it's stupid, I have enough "math reading" during my school hours... I don't need to see anymore "numeric words" or whatever... O__o

i no rite I h8 wen ppl tipe lyke dat cuz ts iust so stoopid!

Just kidding. But yeah, it really irritates me. I understand foreigners, like you said, but seeing people type like "qoinq outttt wiff meh bestiesss. txt meh", I literally want to come through their computer screens and bash them in the head with their keyboards. It irritates me so much.

It annoys me too. It's funny when talking to someone about it and they agree with you, but then they make a simple grammatical error. It's more understandable when someone is foreign though.

I avoid people who talk like that like the plague. talk2hand
If I encounter someone who types that way, I either ignore them, or, if I'm forced to interact with them, I'm not exactly... nice to them.

Seriously, it doesn't leave a good impression on other people.
I generally have the idea that people who type in such a manner are simply idiots. lol

I don't expect absolute perfection- especially considering that I make my own typos here and there, but I'm quick to notice their little errors, and lemme tell you: It bugs the hell out of me. And it annoys me even more when the errors are made simply out of being too lazy to include the occasional apostrophe, or other punctuation. It's not like taking the extra second to make sure all is right in the world of punctuation and spelling is catastrophic, right? :/

I find it annoying when people constantly misuse grammar, spelling, and punctuation. I can understand if a word is hard to spell or if you are just ending up with a few mistakes here and there, but it just makes you look stupid when all you have is one giant run-on sentence with barely any correct grammar or punctuation.
Though I tend to use it occasionally, (such as 'lol' or 'wtf'), I'm not much of a fan of txt tlk. It just gives me another reason to dislike you.

[ Oh my god! I HATE it when people use words like

Yhur or qot to qo

First of all, if youa re going to spell your weirdly, why not shorten it to yur or ur, but keeping the same amoust of letters... it is ridiculous
I hate that whole q for g. Anything representing another letter I think is repulsive xD Except for $. That is the only exception

It isn't a big deal to me.
In fact I think it is pretty stupid and immature to get butt hurt over how someone types.
If you don't like it simply don't talk to that person or ignore them.
Problem solved.

I am a foreign grammar nazi. Sorta.

Does that make much sense? Eh...

Anyway, I make my share of typos, I'll admit. But "txt talk" gets on my neeeervs (unless we're doing it for the lulz).
I do not demand perfection, but just soome level of litteracy 'kay?

Pet peeve: Spelling 'grammar' as 'gremmar/grammer'. Just no.

I'll say it.

Even people from France and Lithuania and such, can speak it and write it better than we can here in America. I'm usually playing games that involve other countries, and I can't tell you how many times people have apologized for their bad English. But they are better at it than we are! eek

sweatdrop I met this one girl who thinks she using some words wrong in English when shes talks to me, but that's just the opposite!

talk2hand All I'm saying is we should learn a lesson from people that don't use English as their native tongue.

My problem is my punctuation... I missed a lot of schooling & never really picked up much writing skills.

We were also taught to sound out our words when we need to spell them.. so sometimes my accent can get in the way of spelling a word properly.

Typos can't be helped sometimes.. not everyone is skilled at typing.


All in all.. I rather deal with misspellings & typos rather than text talk, even though I can read both.
