Fellas too. But mainly women.

I mean no disrespect, but you know how ignorant your paragraphs look without quotations and punctuations? It's unattractive as ? . For example:

Must Let People Make Day Own Mistakes And UMust Let People Once Dey Make Those Mistakes 2Learn From Them "On Their Own" Ah Real Fran Will Give uAdvice &Respect That The Person Gon Do Wha "THEY" Want 2Do At The End Of The Day... Once They Realize What They Did Wrong Ah Real Fran Wont Say "I Told uSo" Ah Real Fran Ah Back You Up No Matta Wha Ya Do Til You Get Em Right...Rememba, Be Slow To Speak And Quick To Listen When Ya Point Da Finga Always Know You Got 3More Pointin Back At Chu
---One of my facebook friends.

How is it people grow to be over 18, can upload a video and even set a DVR, even have kids of their own, but can't notice those three buttons under the "L" key on your keyboard? FINE women sending me text messages that I can't read.

PLEASE, black people, I'm begging you. I know you wanna be hood/urban, but for the sake of lookin' ignant? Am I trippin? What're your thoughts?

    They probably don't realize that their leisure activities involving writing are being critiqued by a college English professor. So you might be trippin' sir. Hope all of that was grammatically correct. A+

    i guess people type how they talk.
    and you know some people dont pause between sentences when they speak, they just run 'em all together.
    but i feel you. it aint gotta be english paper perfect, but you do lose comprehension (and credibility) when you type like that example up there.

    and some ? just dont care

    Its no different than when ? hangin, shootin ball, or whatever and talking broken ass English and yet they are the captain of the debate team, and speak like damn scholars. Now for people who really don't know any better its sad for them.

    But is it really that easy to forget everything your English teacher said since first grade through high school?
    Stuff like that makes me wish facebook was on paper. I wanna see your ratched-ass English written in your ratched-ass handwriting.

    ? that! I hate a dumb woman and if you type like that, you're dumb. It's not hard for me to type correctly. I have to actually think about how to ? up a sentence. Doing it right is natural and should be for everybody. If it's not, then ? you!

    But look at how you sound. You sound correct, and I actually know what the ? you're talking about. I don't have to squint at my screen to translate. It's bigger than hip-hop, feel me?

    THANK YOU! At least one ? can see where I'm getting out. You can talk slang or whatever, just separate your sentences.

    I get what the T/S is saying...it's the same as being annoyed by using shorthand too much in a conversation...

    Agreed.

    It doesn't take long to properly spell and punctuate your thoughts.

    Major points for guys that do so...

    I agree with the thread starter. You have to be really special to ? up so much in a single sentence, but being ignorant is considered cool nowadays.

    I can't stand it either. I can try and decipher what their point is because I know I make grammatical errors all the time, but this one guy lost a lot points when he texted me one of the most jumbled and misspelled text messages I had ever seen.

    I'd rather call ? bytches. And I don't like cursing in the thread title. But that's just me. Here's another ratched-ass facebook post:

    What're isn't a contraction so it's a mistake.
    "can upload a video and even set a DVR" two separate events in a series therefore a comma was needed.

    C'mon my nigg, seriously? Stay focused, Gangster. You're missing the BIG picture for the little things. But then again....

    See? This is the meat-and-bones of what I'm getting at.
    Talk slang, type english.
