Smesh Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 On YCM, I use good grammar and the like, but on Facebook or while texting, I use bad grammar and noob abbreviations. Does anyone else do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catman25 Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 I type/text like I talk. Unless I'm trying to be a noob. >=D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom M.C. Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 i always use good grammar. i type fast, so abbreviations really don't help that much, i'm more used to typing in good grammar anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
--------------- Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 I talk as appropriate. When I'm being serious or talking with Phantom Roxas, my grammar is perfect. When im being semi-serious, ill have a few errors, but only on tedious things i cant be bothered with, like apostraphies and capitalization. wen im playin a game, my spelin is horid. ai unli txt liek a n00b wen im jokin.

Dark Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 When I am typing in a place where time is not an issue, I usually type in proper grammar. I may use a word incorrectly or spell something incorrect on accident on a forum, but my essays are usually perfect in terms of grammar. This is for anywhere on the internet, really. Chatrooms, forums, I'll take any chance I get to not look like an idiot. And as incorrect as it may be, I stereotype against people (not on chatrooms, but on forums) who make themselves look like idiots. wen i am tryin to imitte a st00ped pursen i tak liek dis often when i am texting i do not hold any regard for punctuation or capitalization or apostrophes, but i still spell pretty much everything correctly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marisa Kirisame-ze Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 I'm known for my correct grammar in everything that needs to be typed. When a friend of mine "hacks" my facebook or uses my phone to type as if me, most people know that it's not me since the grammar and spelling isn't correct. I'm just that sophisticated.

John A. Zoidberg Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 I always use correct grammar. I never do anything else other than perfect grammar. Except when mocking noobs. Otherwise I stay grammatically correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wuu. Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 It's highly normal for teenagers to text with abreviations or using one letter, instead of a whole word. I always type my text messages like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexis Rhodes Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 New people on YCM use stuff like 4 and shiz because they think its like facebook. I started like that but now i use the good crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarbleZone Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 Only when taking notes in class. Information tends to fly by way faster than I can write it down using proper spelling, so I'm forced to murder grammar for the greater good. Everywhere else, I insist on writing properly, especially in English since it's not my native language. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiAM Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 The way you type, write or speak is a very important indication of your personality. Therefore, I try to write and speak as formally and correctly as possible, maintaining strong and stable grammar. Also being a student of English Literature, the more practise I get, the better. I do actually get frustrated over bad grammar too, using an apostrophe wrong or using the wrong spelling of a word... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloister Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 Msn and texting: Don't really care as long as the person I'm talking to actually can understand what I'm saying. You see? Fb an YCM: Better. Than. Msn and. Texting. Lol at LiaM's post... Funny, but true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DARKPLANT RISING Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 When I'm mocking noobs, I write it like them. Which is somewhat ironic. Most of the time, I write normally, but some hard words are misspelled due to being Jap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
