Stop it! Stop It!! STOP IT!!!

I don't mind the dialects and such. The only thing that bothers me is when people are too lazy to spell out words and use capital letters and punctuation. It's a discussion board, not a text-messaging competition.:eyebrow:

It's not a university assignment either. :hmm:
I'm fine with people not using grammar, so long as it's not one huge block of text with no full stops or anything.

I'm not asking anybody to do any research or use big words. I just think communicating clearly is common courtesy (holy alliteration!), and those (dumb) misunderstandings so common on the 'Net become less likely.:)
 
I'm horribly offended by your use of the word "dumb" in parentheses.

Then again, your intentions are unclear. I can only assume you mean good because of that lousy smiley at the end. :D

:hiding:
Funny.:D I was never serious enough about this to be "horribly offended", just moderately annoyed. But whatever...
