When you type, do you use proper grammar / spelling?

[Nightmares]

I like to spell correctly and capitalise things, but I'll often say "lmao" / "idk" / "tbh".

It makes me cringe so hard when people don't
I would save a lot of time but whatever xD

 

[seliph]

Not usually unless I'm typing to my boss or someone professional

gotta go fast

 

[KarlaKGB]

no lol

im perfectly capable of writing proper english in work emails

 

[mogyay]

nah i'm pretty bad for not using proper grammar, if i'm writing a message on the forums i'm generally alright but if we're instant messaging you'll probably have a tough time

 

[KarlaKGB]

[mogyay]

if you type really badly then ppl will be like oh ur just typin normally

 

[boujee]

[nintendofan85]

I try to as much as I can.

 

[Bowie]

Most of the time, but usually I get very paranoid about it, so I'm trying to tone it down a little in normal conversation like now.

 

[windloft]

i tend to type all lowercase, but i include periods and exclamations unlike everybody else. o:

whenever i'm talking about a serious issue or something, then i use proper grammar and capitalization!

 

[radioloves]

Sometimes I try to use proper spelling and grammer, but I use a mix of both proper and improper sometimes ;D

 

[ShinyYoshi]

I usually end up typing with good grammar and spelling because both my phone and laptop have auto-correct and I just let it correct me. I'll add in abbreviations and stuff if I'm joking around and sometimes I use lol and lmao but I wouldn't say those are enough to say I use a mix

 

[Byngo]

I used to punctuate sentences but I stopped caring tbh

 

[Cosmic Gerbil]

I do when I'm writing serious stuff, fanfiction and on forums. Also, if I am IMing a friend who doesn't have English as their first language, in case they don't get my slang and/or acronyms.

If I'm typing to English speaking mates, I use more slang and shortcuts but I still try and "talk" and not write in textspeak.

 

[wolfie1]

I type properly but I also use "lol", "tbh" and so on to go faster, although my iPhone doesn't like that and he ends up saying weird things.

 

[RainbowCherry]

Unless I'm talking about some weird ****e, I type correctly. If, however, I'm going on the tangents about killing yourself with a toaster, I type in terrible messy text.
