Yes, it's all thanks to the wonderful people here on newgrounds. I remember when I used to type incorrectly, but then I got flamed and people claimed to not understand what the fuck I was typing. Now I type my best and have become somewhat of a grammar Nazi myself.

I almost always write properly. It's those who don't even try that piss me off, especially if they're in their teens. It's fucking hard to read, dammit!

Strangely enough, I now feel the need to have all of my posts (including those off the forums, such as reviews) contain proper spelling and grammar attributes. I have no idea what has compelled me to do so, but I just feel the need to do it now anyways.

Yea, that happened to me to. It's weird, eh? I do it partly to prove to the fucking morons that it's not MSN that makes kids have bad spelling and grammar, it's them being fucking idiots that does.

Fucking wanna-be rappers. Won't get anywhere in life past McDonald's. Fucking morons... Sorry, I'll stop myself before I get into a rant.

yeh lk it rlly anoying wen ppl type lik dis.

I Mean, they should really learn to type. Seriously, it's not that hard.

I think grammar and spelling are important parts of posting on forums or everyday conversation.

LOLLLLLL WHO NEEDS PROPER GRAMER? LOLOLOLOLNOOBS

I'll use proper spelling and grammar, but I don't like to go over the top with my vocabulary. People who try to sound extra-sophisticated annoy me.

o u rlly th1nk leik dat l0l? U n00b l0l!!!L!

But in all seriousness. I agree with most people who posted in this thread. I want people to read what I type, and I don't want to look like an asshole. No one really want's to look like an ass anyway. Maybe you just also want people to respect you more.

i wud never use teh properz spellingz and grammers
YOU CANNOT KENTROLL MEEE!!!

*Sad faic*

(Though really, it is useful for reading long winded posts with proper paragraph breaks and such )

I hung around the BBS before I joined and it doesn't take long to notice that people are using proper grammar and spelling. So, yes. I do feel a need to type correctly. Nothing fancy, just the basics should be fine. That should be enough for everyone to understand my post.

I take people less seriously when they can only tell me to improve my grammar.

There is no point in being a dick, if you can understand what they are saying.

Always. Because it's civilised and easily understood.
