you know, when you're fresh out of ideas for new threads, it's a good idea to refrain from posting new threads.

I could not read the poll options, so I did not vote.

I give not a crap about "preper" grammar or spelling or any of that shite.
I give many a craps about readability.

If you misspell the word "hamburger" and type "hambarger" I'll still figure it out ....
If you intentionally misspell all the words and skip random letters, it's too much of a PITA to read, like having to learn a whole new language. I prefer English, not noobish or whatever you people who can't type worth a damn call it.

This thread has lowered my already low expectations and futures for humanity.

yes but since when do i value the opinions of anonymous masses?




Since "anonymous masses" = "The entire world", perhaps you should.

without grammar nazis, sad angry little men would have nothing to keep them occupied.

I tend to mind my spelling and grammar to the best of my ability.
Funny, I even have something to blame for my(potentially) bad spelling and grammar, English isn't my first language ;)

I think it's stupid how the internet makes us type like this. I mean it's supposed to make us type faster but most people make really long words with so many characters to just say a simple three/four letter word.

Well, when you want to make fun of a OP, you can post a real satirical reply. Like "OH NOEZ ..." or "I CAN HAS INTARNET?"
