I've always typed like this on the forums, on chat rooms or IRC I'll not use fullstops (periods) or capital letters, though really shitty grammar on the forum isn't nice to look at, and can grow annoying if they write a big wall of text.

You still talk like that. "tho", "make us look", a lot of ugly shorties and grammar mistakes. "Amrite". Uaargh! Oh, and you randomly capitalize words; "Normal English", "Like". Not to mention your lack of punctuation.

But yeah, it's true. Forums can help with that, people will stop ugly typing because the others won't take them seriously otherwise.

Yeah It's better to see a wall of text which is written with correct grammer and stuff, than to see a wall of text with lazy spelling and grammar.
since 2007 When i did joined this community/Join date: August 2008?

My English is way better than before I joined (My sister's grammar is horrible, though we were born in England >_>. She's probably too lazy to write with good grammar and stuff)

I got a theory about that. As you know, english is the main language across the world.

My theory is that englishmen with bad grammar/spelling has started to dislike their language because they can't go a single place in the world (nearly) without people understanding them.

This is just a theory. I'm not saying all englishmen go under that tent, but still.

Nah, we were born in England but we moved to the Netherlands when I was five. I don't dislike English, because most of the people in Holland speak crap English anyway.

My conclusion: My sister is just lazy >_>
