English vs 3ng1sh (For Madis)

I've given some thought to this one, and I've decided that typing in proper grammar is the way to go. You never see any newsletters or paper articles written in 1337 do you?

I think it's obvious that it's better to write correctly and that covers up the question, I don't see a reason why to write incorrectly. People write how they like, my main point is that the person should write at least enough good so everybody can understand the words what he wrote. I'm not pointing out that you should use capital letters while typing names or when starting new sentences. If you're not writing an essay in forums, then you do NOT have to be 110% correct, you can make spelling and punctuation mistakes and nobody will nag you about it, unless you write a totally wrong word that give the sentence a new meaning (which happened to easter which caused a little fire on Jesse and Stevon). I'm rather suprised that some people have started nagging about me when i'm in the opposite situation, writing correctly. So i'm pretty much amazed, like wtf is the matter with them?

I try to type my best but I have some bad habits when it comes to grammar. Luckily Firefox 2 has spell check :)

I can not stand to read a wall of text with no sentences or structure of some sort. Whats even worse is when its like

"k so wen i went 2 da sk8park der waz des 2 guys der on sk8 and dey kept tellin us 2 go cuz scoots r gay! lol! i h8 sk8ers cuz dey are meen!!!"

yea writing as much correct is better in my eyes since you already know how to spell and know the keys so why waste time adding numbers and symbols to words when you can just type it the right way and have people understand your post?

Haha yep I try to type the right way. I hate reading blocks of text so sometimes I'll do this...I think its easier to read, and it takes less time to do than when your typing numbers and stuff.

Farmboy is right, some people do do that. (yes I did mean to put 2 "do"'s.)

Fuck you.

Proper english all the way. For me it's just something like proper behavior in life or good style and clean landings in scootering. Simple. I can handle if someone types correctly enough to read and understand it effortlessly, but typing proper english is something I apreciate.

Actually i don't know wether or not it's pronounciation or pronunciation. I though it was with 'ou' (like related to the word 'pronoun') but the web dictionary gave me only with 'u'. Google search gives alot of answers for both words so i'm guessing one of them (either 'ou' or 'u') is US english, and the other one is British english. Same goes to colors and colours.
