The internet is the only reason I ever express my words non-orally.

So, no.

I find my grammar often suffers online and I do some weird phonetic spellings. But thankfully, for reasons I cannot understand, when I am not chatting online I use proper form. I really do wonder about that :Q

I always write in correct and full English when writing something on the internet anyway, so it does not make one bit of difference when I have to write something more formal.

It actually takes me longer to think and type internet "l33t" speak than it does to type the correct and full words!
