You were required to take a course in a laguage that does not exist?
What the heck was your major?

At the time it was Lit. Trust me, I still don't see what the relevance was...

What bothers me is spelling errors are even starting to turn up in signage which tends to make the local population look quite frankly uneducated, or perhaps even worse, downright lazy. Actually saw "Slushies" spelled as "Slouches" on a sign not too long ago! "Coming soon...slouches!" - how exciting?!  Lookingup

The only time I liked that kind of writing was when I hit 1334 posts here and the word LEET popped up.  TeddyR

My brain is wired to only understand properly written English.  When I see stuff like that I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.  And not in a good way!!!   Buggedout

Plus I think "moron" and delete it.

I can't stand poor English. I figured nobody here did either. I was hoping that some poor fool would come in and be like, "i tawk liek dat awl duh teim!" so I could give him a good "Boo". Even when I should rush to get a message out I have to use proper English or I get p**sed off. Even on text messages I use proper capitalization, punctuation, spelling, and grammar. My best classes in school were English and communication and I hope to do a little bit of writing before I become a director (Or more likely a ThatGuyWithTheGlasses.com reviewer). I spell check everything I do before I post. Though I often mix up words. One time I embarrassed myself by mixing up "Noun" and "Vowel". I'd like to thank you all for knowing how the English language properly works. It reminds me how many intelligent individuals I'm surrounded by on the Badmovies.org forum.

I usually assume the person is some idiot kid. That spelling can make any statement sound dumb, and a dumb statement sound downright idiotic.

When you're sending a message from a phone with a regular keypad, I can see some practical use, although I wouldn't do it. When somebody does it with a full QWERTY keyboard, I assume they're lazy or stupid. Some of the abbreviations aren't even shorter than the proper words.

That said, I have been known to make limited us of LOL and maybe WTF. Those can be handy abbreviations, and they make a certain amount of sense. But typing an entire sentence like that? Using those abbreviations all the time? That's like the present-day equivalent of Valley Girl talk - the boneheaded jargon of airheaded teens.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
