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

[KaydeeKrunk]

well i mean..,.. just not using capital letters or proper punctation isn't rly something that wil make posts unreadable but Alrighty

They're saying like when people talk just in abbreviations like they said: "2day i cbf tbh @ cfm."

I know people on my facebook who talk like that and like I know what TBH is but when a new one comes out I am lost, like it took me so long to find out what smh and stuff meant.

yeah ik and i kind of agree n see what they mean, but like .. not using perfect grammar n spelling n stuff to a certain degree doesnt rly make it a ton harder to understand what the poster means,,, like i think they meant that the worse grammar u have the harder it gets for people to understand (which is true but like!!! not rly when you just dont use capital letters imo like it's not a big deal??)

anyways hi .

True, that's really all I care about, as long as it's legible to me I don't mind it, but if people are just abbreviating every two words or something it's highly illegible and will take me forever to read and respond, I can read your writing perfectly fluidly.

punctuation goes inside quotation marks

Why would it in this circumstance? I'm talking about people using "lol", not specifically ending a sentence with it...idk

So what's the difference in saying "haha" and "lol".

Nothing really, they're just different words.

it still goes inside the quotation marks if ur gonna be condescending then at least have reason to be condescending lmao.

I'm sorry, but I don't understand what exactly you're saying

 

[Kitty2201]

I try to use proper grammar and spelling most of the time

 

[Halloqueen]

Yes, I capitalize and use proper grammar online. I sometimes make exceptions in casual conversation when I'm really tired or sick and don't want to bother with it, but otherwise see no reason to be lazy about it.

 

[Twisterheart]

I tend to use proper grammar and spelling. Not always though. Sometimes I type in all lowercase letters if I'm in a hurry or I just don't care enough to capitalize stuff

 

[petaltail]

I use a mix I guess, if I'm on a laptop or something I'll capitalize but on my phone I won't. I use abbreviations too much as well lmao

 

[focus]

no not at all my grammar is horrible, my spelling is alright but eh like i'll use "aight/b4/wat" every now and then. as for abbreviations im such a mess lmao like i use them so much its obnoxious. i dont think theres a single comment ive left where i didnt use at least one abbreviation tbh lol

likE i wasnt even using lol/lmao/tbh purposely like it just happens idk

 

[raeyoung]

Sometimes, depends on time or feeling I guess.

hhonestlly same........ like 3 yrs ago i hated using lol, idk, lmao etc but then i started using lol "ironically" n now i cant stop. ive become abbreviation trash

 

[Nio]

I only use grammar on forums and family texts, aha. I actually don't use it anywhere else; if you saw my twitter it would be incomprehensible.

 

[Hunnybuns]

Depends on who I'm talking to and what we're talking about! With my friends I'll just say "Lmao ****** u suc!!" but on here it's usually "Omg Tysm! I hope we trade again your town was so nice!" If I'm fighting online w/ someone I tend to use a lot of emojis since I just act sarcastic. "Wow u think ur right but *thinking emoji*" Idk!! I use a lot of text slang like omg, lmao, idk and tysm. But no matter who I'm talking to I always use w or with or n for and occasionally. I literally text like a teenage girl but then again I am one

 

[LunarMako]

I try to use proper grammar and spelling. I find it looks better and makes more sense. When I tried to read some peoples sentences and there is no commas, I find it hard to read.

 

[WAR X ILUSION]

I use proper spelling and punctuation. I've been doing it for like 2 years now.
Though, the only time I haven't is when I was writing silly messages on my friend's bulletin board.
(And, before I started using proper spelling.)

 

[Jordan Marek]

I usually always do. I occasionally type 'lol' or 'haha' but I try to make it so that it still fits in the sentence well.

Edit: I sometimes add smileys, which occasionally makes it so I don't use proper punctuation :]

 

[shannenenen]

I'm an English major and a writer and so it really bothers me when people don't use proper grammar or spelling. By that, basically I just mean knowing the difference between there/they're/their, you're/your, and things like that and not speling liek dis. Ugh. I cringed typing that. But occasionally i'll decide i don't wanna capitalize my i's and just use more slang language like this tbh but i still feel like i care a lot about my grammar. like i'm gonna make sure i use the right words at the right time and stuff. But that only really happens when I'm on my phone; when I'm on my computer or the forums, my grammar is impeccable

 

[Annika.]

It's more pleasant to me because I grew up with more books than text messages, but I do use common abbreviations, too.

But I would never talk bad about people who don't because I realize that foreigners and children exist
