when ppl talk like this n expect me to have a intelegent convo or rp wit them
I've seriously found people on Omegle who have said "lit rp only pls!!!!!!". I mean, come on. I admit that sometimes I play around and don't always use proper writing and grammar, but this is ridiculous. What bothers me the most is it's likely the majority of these people are native English speakers that think it's cool to act stupid. e.e And "random!!!11"
You can't go onto the Hetalia tag anymore without finding the majority of people on there using terrible English. How hard is it to put a simple capital letter in the right places? If you actually cared about writing and roleplaying you'd at least make an effort to do it well. I've never thought of myself as a grammar Nazi and I try not to be hard on people but I just find it ridiculous how lazy people have become about writing. ;-; -
I understand. It's okay to make typo's, but it's stupid that some people just don't. are and write in text.
-
Aaaaand i made a typo. lol.
-
I make typos all the time, so I don't judge that. It's just the blissful murdering of language that gets to me. :c
-
Well as of recently I've been talking like a dumb--- so I really shouldn't say anything. :c
But I understand, I really hate that. It really burns my mind to see bad English like that from native speakers and writers of the English language. >_> It's not cute at all. -
I mean I'll type abbreviations like brb, gtg, rofl, lol, and...I can't remember the other one (brain fart!). I just wish people would actually use words. Sometimes I can hardly understand them. Someone said this to me once,"Omg!Nyk wt wz dey tinkin?!?!?!" and I was soo confused. I'm serious. I had no idea what they said. Then, they started giving ME a lecture on the Language of The Internet. .-. Come on. They see me typing full sentences! Yeah, instead of typing, think I'd type tink because that's what I say in real life. Or I'd say Ima instead of I'm. I just type the way I talk in real life. But sometimes, it's just too much. O.O

No you're not a dumb---, Arisu. D: The way you do it is funny and everything.
I use brb and gtg a lot though, so I guess I made my paragraph a little too serious. x3 I guess what I meant was just...childish ignorance, perhaps? Man, now I feel a bit like a dick for bringing this up, since there are so many exceptions, but I guess my point is when you're actually writing a story or work of some sort it should have more effort in it. -
Yeah,I mean I understand if someone has poor grammar because maybe they don't know how or they speak another language but besides that when people use text talk all the time it just seems lazy and what not.
-
Well, honestly I'll type like a dumb--- if I'm having a 1 on 1 conversation on Skype or something, with people who I'm comfortable with. But on public forums, Role plays, etc. Using proper grammar should at least be attempted.
Like seriously how hard can it be if English is your native language?
