Bad spelling and poor grammar online?
e.g todayiwent to the shoppingmall and bought anewtv.
No spacing Makes it very hard to read.

And spelling like this:
WAT-What
BAK-Back
REKON-Reckon
STIK-Stick
SUMFIN-Something
TRYNA-Trying
LYKE-Like (why not just put the I rather than the Y,geez!)
SUM1-Someone
PPL-People
SHUD-Should

I could go on forever,i know its shorthand or its "supposed" to be,but its just crappy,in my opinion.Half the time you can hardly decipher the message.

I also really hate it when people TyPe LiKe tHiS,BeCAusE iTs a HEaDAcHe tO rEaD.

Ok,just got that off my chest... ;)

It's frustrating. It's a silly thing to let bother you, but it gets very excessive. "2morrow" is NOT a word...mumble..grumble...

TRYNA is the only that really bothers me.

I'm one of those grammar freaks who stake out menus just to find mistakes (I know- I live in the wild zone). Grammar mistakes really bother me, both on-line and on paper. A type is one thing, but making up new words- that should not be allowed! And "ain't" is NOT a word in the English language (grr!).

It means "trying." Apparently it's supposed to sound like "trying to." Who comes up with these?

TRYNA means 'trying to',not just trying.
e.g I'm Tryna figure out something.

Something really annoys me that some of my friends do is that they use "ur". It's supposed to mean "you are" right? I mean it's annoying enough when they say it when it actually sort of makes since like "ur smart" or something, but what really mad is when someone uses it like "Im coming over to ur house" which basically means you are house.... :crazy: Wow, that was confusing.

Dude, I'm such a grammar Nazi. My parents always use the wrong contractions (ie: "That don't go there.") and double negatives...AND DON'T END A SENTENCE WITH THE WORD "AT." That drives me NUTS.

But I hate online when people use u, r, and numbers as words. Christ. Take the time to hit the two extra buttons.

it doesn't bother me unless it's excessive enough to where it looks like a foreign language.

it REALLY bothers me though when people see someone say something like "hey how r u" and criticizing and making fun of them. you can be annoyed by it, but if you want to chat online, you're always going to see people use netspeak and you might as well not try to put any kind of stop to it. i'm sure some people talk to others who type like that a lot and just think it's normal.
