Anybody else here know that terrible grammar and poor typing do not hurt them in any way, yet continue to be harsh toward poor typers anyway?
What causes us to be so bitter toward people just because of the way they type?

Because any normal person is completely capable of typing like this. We just choose to pick out the strange ones and single them out.

It's probably just people who do it for readability and also it isn't an eyesore to read. Also, at the right time, grammar naziing is fun.

I think it's the fact that it generally takes more effort to capitalise random letters in words than it does to type normally, making it pointless in addition to irritating and stupid.

It's fine once or twice, but it gets annoying seeing people type in all caps after that. SERIOUSLY, YOU KNOW THAT THIS GETS VERY ANNOYING VERY QUICKLY, EVEN i CAN'T STAND WHEN i POST IN ALL CAPS.

Because typing like that makes you look like an jackass?

I don't know you at all. In fact, the only way I can come to know you is through what you type. How you type reflects to me everything about you. Your maturity, intelligence, sense of humor, the list is endless.

Typing is everything on the internet, your identity, if you will.

It really annoys me to see a bunch of mistakes, or really obvious mistakes. It's like an itch that you try not to scratch. Eventually, you HAVE to scratch it. That's when the grammar nazism comes out.

So what? You can still understand what she is saying. Stop being such stuck up grammar correct freaks and let people get on however they choose to.
