I know a few people here who couldn't spell a correct sentence to save their lifes and I'm REALLY getting annoyed about it. I can understand a few small things (missing word or letter, lowercase letter that should be uppercase, no comma where there should be one) But when start to go "i pwnd yo i RRRUULLLEEEZZZZ" like mindless little kids, I start to get kind of angry. Anyone else here feel the same way?

Not really. I don't see many people who intentionally disregard the rules of grammar and I can overlook the odd mistake here and there.

There's a kid I work with that has really bad spelling and grammar and stuff, but he has some mental condition so I can understand that. Plus he's funny as hell.

But as for normal people, if they use really bad grammar, it gets kind of annoying, but usually, as long as I can understand what they're saying, I don't care.

Never go onto a shared board, that's all I can say. More the "lolz" crowd over there.

I KNEW someone was going to do that :P

But my point is, if I make sure post makes sense and sounds right, why can't other people take 15 seconds to put a few commas and spell check? It gets hard reading posts sometime thanks to that.

Most of the time. Some things don't annoy me though, such as the "who" and "whom" rule. I never understood that.

Depending on the situation it can be annoying, but then again it can also be used for comedic effect.

'eaf teh bad grama isnt' intentional I dont' care'.

Now seriously talking, I don't like too much when people mess around with punctuation marks or when they simply don't use them at all. I also don't like when people make an excessive use of bad written words as if those words were cooler than the good written ones.

However, I repeat I don't care about little mistakes or slips.

He was using a double negative, like he said he hates. It's called irony.

For some reason, only on GS.

On AIM or MSN I'm perfectly fine with it.

Yeay me too. Not for the slightest thought of believing their proficiency levels are low, but for the assumption that they are way too lazy to put some effort into making it easier for people to understand what they're trying to say.
