You are not going to stop people from typing the way they do...you just look like a total nazi whenever you chime in with your worthless comments. So, sir, I suggest you take that Gestapo s.hit somewhere else...

I know I'm not the only one who feels this way

Aww isn't that cute the newbie's trying to pick a fight.

Bringing up the Nazi cliche too! How inventive!

Personal attacks aside:

AOL'ese is a hybrid of "1337" (read hacker language) and abbreviations devised by slow typists to keep up with real time chat sessions. It doesn't belong here where you have all the time you need to type out a understandable, intelligent looking response.

This forum is visited by THOUSANDS of people a day. Some are members, MOST of them are guests who are looking for someplace where they can ask a question and get an intelligent response. "I wud get dat b4 u 4get or ur gunna be srry thx" Is NOT an intelligent looking response no matter how correct the information (once translated) is.

You want others to respect your opinions? Type them so anyone can read them not just "ur homies" I don't expect perfect spelling and grammar. Hell half the time I ignore people who can't capitalize ( that irks me too).

Again:

This isn't a freaking text message that will be erased in 10 seconds. We will have people looking at these threads for YEARS down the road and therefore we need to provide information that is easily understood by even those with the barest undersatnding of English.

I hope this clarifies my postion for some of the newer people.

Have a nice day
