Maybe he was so frightened of this text-talk infiltration that he stumbled and forgot the basic rules of grammar just trying to get this scary beast of a story out. It happens.

Full stops:

"It happens sometimes."

It's a sentence with a period, basically.

I have heard people using 'txt talk' in real life. It just makes no sense and pisses the hell out of me.

Thank the deities I never got that kind of exposure in real life. smile Back in my days (referring to my days as a youth in kindergarten and grade school), there were no such things as text-talkers, leet-speak, and all that verbal nonsense! Through trial, error, and guidance, I learned how to spell and write Contemporary English like the best of them.

And now, we're approaching a generation of technological Newspeakers, so to say. All fostered by the faulting school system and a grammar-dumb and lazy society catering to the masses by making them "feel good" and look what's happened. Ah well...

Still. I find his post somewhat scarier than the txt-tlk.

Well, then....let's just hope you don't meet me in real life while I'm feeling light and humorous.

I accidently said 'lol' out loud once... I taped my mouth closed for the rest of the day, and then when I got home, drank about 4 litres of water to cleanse my mouth.
