Well its not needed. Your wasting your time. Facts show that we as readers only absorb 80 prcent of a message once written. Your proper grammar means nothing to the 80 percent.

How is that possible given the amount of characters allowed in text messages?
This doesnt apply to those with smartphones.

He's saying it should be "an NT post"
"N" starts off with a vowel sound. Ya dig, my g?

enh
only thing that really irks me online is words being used incorrectly
most notoriously
than/then
they're/their/there
you're/your
how does "your" even come out of your fingertips if you're thinking "you are"
the internet is not school but how does that even happen if you know the correct way?

I can't post online or send texts unless the spelling/grammar are at least passable. It doesn't take me any longer to type correctly.

Appreciated.
Why'd you come into a correct grammar appreciation thread to do the exact opposite?

Not that much more time is wasted, imo. Once you understand how to write with proper grammar, you'll spot out the mistakes right as you type them, or sometimes, you won't even make an error at all in your posts/emails since you're used to it, so there's not really a need to go back and check them unless you're writing long essays or papers for school, then proof-reading is definitely needed.
Usually, I take those who know how to write properly more seriously than those who don't, so that might be how other people's opinions are.
Ah, yes. Even though I abbreviate it to NT, I still usually think Niketalk. My bad, b.
Yeah, I get you. The simpler, the better.

Get a smart phone fam. And yes this is appreciated. Especially the part about women who do practice this being a turn on.

what makes you think you can post the pic of the asian girl in the thong and get away with it?

I wholeheartedly concur. The length of my laziness is just using "cuz" instead of because and "b4" instead of "before". Other than that, grammar rules and regulations are naturally followed to the T.

Fixed.
I'll gladly spend ten extra seconds to provide readers with a message that's grammatically correct.
I don't get what you're saying here. Are you saying my grammar means nothing to the people I'm text messaging?
Like VietStar said, I usually take people who type correctly way more serious than those who don't.
Also, can you provide a source for your statement?

You don't need correct grammar and punctuaton to understand ones post. As lnog as the frsit and the lsat are in the corerct sopt.
I think if the person who posts can get his point across clearly, then idc if he has bad punctuation or not. *kanye shrug*

I agree with that too.
As long as it's understandable, do you.
But it's appreciated when girls type correctly. Makes them more attractive.

I don't really mind people who make errors in their writing. As long as I understand their messages without my eyes hurting or my head aching from reading them afterwards, then it's all gravy. It's just people who type "correctly" are appreciated because everyone appreciates good writing.
WavyJonesLocker- You're one of the posters on here whose writing is pretty good. I think I've learned a couple vocab words from a few of your posts also.

Wait, you have a cap on your texts? Must feel bad bro. I can text and get every word out.

funny how OP praises proper grammar yet has a few comma splices in his posts. This is an online forum, text messages apply too. It's not that serious.

This absolutely boggles my mind. I think people get the 'you're/your' wrong more than they get it right. I always chuckle at "your stupid", though. Never fails.

I've always typed using proper English but recently I started replacing "the" with "da" to see if people would notice and take my comments seriously....
