Do you correct people in IM conversations when they speak "AOL"

[neonerd]

If you're talking to somebody in an AIM conversation, do you correct them when they say things like "u, wut, liek, y"? This is for people that use those all the time.

I only participate in IM conversations with those who have opposable thumbs, so this isn't something I have to deal with.

No, but I don't use it myself (though I will admit to typing in all lowercase letters when I'm using AIM).

 

[neutralizer]

I do some of those things.

then you should probably think about killing yourself, seriously. doing it is bad enough, but admitting to it is just insane. you are a one of a kind moron.

i give people 1 warning when they say that crap, and then i block them. it is beyond stupid.
