I believe that some of these people have no idea how to properly punctuate.

If you are one of them, just think of it this way:

If you would take a breath when speaking, that's where your period goes. If you'd pause because you're going to add something to a sentence, that's where the comma goes. Ellipses are only used to indicate a long pause between sentences or words.

And that's all I have to say about that.

Sorry, I had to. Spelling is not that important if i can understand it, then it's fine.

As for punctuation, we're on a forum. It's not like you're writing a book. It dosen't make sense to me to check my reply for punctuation errors, oh well.
I disagree whole-heartedly with these sentiments. The fact that I had to physically re-read your response repeatedly to discern where your thoughts ended. Basic spelling errors and grammar are fine. I'm perfectly fine with minor errors, but considering that you're intentionally making something that is difficult to read is inexcusable. It takes no more effort to strike an extra 4 keys for the entirety of your post to at least signal where sentences ended and where the next begins.

The fact that you cannot be bothered to increase your keystroke load by 4 key presses is entirely too lazy for the amount of effort you demand on your reader. I'm fine for major errors, I won't even demand you capitalize or punctuate with commas. If you're ending a thought, and can't be bothered to hit period or at least force a line break, then you honestly need to re-evaluate your concept of "acceptable errors."

Well, I realize I'm a bit late to the party, but I am a grammar Nazi of sorts. I'm not the kind who will stalk threads and correct everyone's grammar, but if I see a post that is riddled with incorrect spelling, punctuation, and homonyms , I won't give it the time of day. Once people reach a certain level of intelligence and self respect, they deserve my attention. Until then, good riddance.

(Posted while drunk, coherently, with no spelling errors. It really doesn't take much effort.)

I can handle brb, lol, atm, IMO and lrn2whatever. I mean, it's the simplest way and everyone knows WTF those abbreviations are. Usually because they are used once in a larger conversation that has more words in it.

But ur, b4 and bch make me all want to STAB the person in the face and stomp on his phone. Dude, YOUR is only two more letters. Stop being fucking lazy.
..what does bch mean?

Edit: If your all really freak out about Grammar then fix it yourselves. I frequently correct spelling from previous quotes and I've re-written whole posts before too so I could understand them better. Stop whining and fix it yourselves. Otherwise just move on and ignore the idiots. They are beneath you, until you complain and then your just a child.

GO TO YOUR CORNER!
Edit-Edit: And if you do fix it, don't be an ass and say you corrected it. Just move on with your lives.
