you posted it because you want people to read it, correct? if you make it hard to read, people won't read it.

When people type like that, I read it back in my head as if the person is a motormouth. It sucks and I tend not to even read all of it. Example, your post.. I stopped ater the first line.

What's the big deal with punctuation. As long as people can understand what he wrote I think he's fine. By the way, some of you aren't better writers either.:|:(

Phew, one less illiterate poster to deal with!

People without the brain capacity to make a well formed sentence and use puncuation deserve the crap they get, unless they are new to English.

//alt reply

oh noes how can you just stop posting becuase you are 2 dumb to make paragraphs and use punkuation so people are actually know what you? are talking about you should, just keep posting runon senstenceses and horrible grammar andthen go tell everyone to fill a river with teers because they can not undetrstadand

how about you goes back to the third grade and realize thatn.people area usually not interested in what you have to say if you can not say it like an intelligent psersons not only does posting like that make you look stupid you make the forum look stupid and really no^ one cares what someone hasd two say if they can not be smart about it there are enough idiots out there in the world people would rather deal with one less on a forum

How about you give us a break? You're the one posting and expecting someone to read what you've posted. It's probably best that you go back to lurking.

:thumbsup:

The point of participating in a forum is to communicate with others, not confuse them or embarass yourself. If you can't be bothered reading your post before clicking "Post", I can't be bothered reading it either, much less blowing smoke up your ass about its legibility. It makes you come off as young and not quite bright, much like using acronyms such as u, ur, plz, thx, ne1, wut, etc.

anyways perhaps like dezign being reborn here, this is Wdauqnug reborn (or whatever ducknuts username was)....

I am all for abbreviation and stream of conscious posting on a forum...but when one becomes cryptic or with no regard at all for spelling, esp. on post where they are making claims to their great intelligence.

It's one thing to spell patience as patiance or patiense which are just typos and another to write patients.

i understand puncuation and ebonic type posts but the way people act over someone saying "grammer" or "grammar" amazes me, they have nothing better to do than sit on a forum and make fun of people.

i dont know if the little ":roll: :beer:" you posted was mocking me or what but thats my two cents:cookie:

I don't know about other users on this forum, but I generally use proper spelling and grammar as a gauge of intelligence. If you can express your thought in a coherent paragraph, I am more likely to take your post seriously and/or respect your opinion. If a post is riddled with spelling and grammar errors, it probably isn't worth my time.

then dont read it, plain and simple. i try to spell words the best way i can if uncertain how to spell it. but people act like its not ok to make a mistake, hell you learn from your mistakes. ive learned how to spell words the right way after posting it the wrong way.

like i said, most people act like kids about spelling errors. im guessing most people assume if you cant spell everything correctly, then your a dumbass? how cute

Don't even try to capitalize either, eh? How cute.
It is not as if though the internets is the end all and be all when it comes to judging somebody, but for the love of God at least try to spell words correctly and do simple things like proper punctuation and capitalization.
Most people can tolerate and expect some grammar and spelling errors but when people (e.g. DP and the OP) do not even attempt to post coherent writings, it is not worth most people's time to even reading what they wrote - or even caring.

This is an internet forum. How well you spell and write is my only impression of your ability to communicate. If you can't do those two things well, I have to assume that you can't communicate well. It may not be an accurate measure of overall intelligence, but it certainly lowers my expectations. The same is true of any other form of communication.

no truly a 'kid' doesn't give a crap.....an adult does. Go back to your little safe zone and stay there.

if you think I really care about that pic, or the other one still up on pics@bbzzdd that I posted you are truly, absolutely retarded.

That pic you posted is her showing the length of my e-wiener that poster likes it smaller for obvious reasons.

Maybe you two should meAt.

oops a typo
