I don't like the Yankees, I like the Red Sox, I don't like the Lakers, I like the Celtics, I hate the Canadiens and I love the Bruins. Soccer is the best sport on Earth, but most Americans are too ignorant to realize it. I am American.

Re: Does it bother you when posters don't speak properly?
I don't abbreviate and I don't have exceptionally long messages.Originally posted by BlzerLet me assure you that I am a huge proponent of size, and it greatly matters. Don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise.
If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)Comment

I don't text period. I use skype and that sort of stuff to talk to people, but I can't stand text messaging. There's not enough keys to make a normal keyboard and having to hit the same number multiple times to get the desired letter makes me go crazy!
If I want to talk to somebody, I'll call them.Comment

Re: Does it bother you when posters don't speak properly?
Like others said, I don't abbreviate or cut words. I just make sure to get my point across in 160 characters and hit send.
I'm not using text messaging to have conversations, anyway. It's to make a quick point and get on with my life.
What really bothers me (having limited messaging) is the people that send one word replies by text. Don't send me "Ok" or "Bye" via text. It's a waste of my messages and you said a whole lot of nothing.Last edited by CMH; 08-19-2008, 12:30 PM."It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied.

Nope I just figure they are 10 years younger than me and are used to texting....or just not used to doing scholarly work.Comment

Re: Does it bother you when posters don't speak properly?
I get bored at work, a lot. So this happens. Not to say I am hilarious.
Plus I hate it when people type with out the english language involved.I don't like the Yankees, I like the Red Sox, I don't like the Lakers, I like the Celtics, I hate the Canadiens and I love the Bruins. Soccer is the best sport on Earth, but most Americans are too ignorant to realize it. I am American.

X 2 on the bored at work.
It also gives me something to discuss while I'm avoiding the "OMG IAN WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS!?!?!?!?!?" threads in the Madden NFL Forum.Comment

Re: Does it bother you when posters don't speak properly?
Yes, it does bother me a little although it helps to determine who the mature and older posters are real quick.
I hate the overuse of acronyms and short forms more though. Please use real sentences and paragraphs with half way decent spelling if possible.Comment
