Say what?

Yes it does bother me, it means that I have to read your post several times in order to get any meaning from it.

EDIT: Plus all the reasons already said in the other thread

Problem being, people as illiterate as you are often don't get the point across because the text has become so deformed and mutilated that it no longer makes any sense.

You're worse for it because you don't just make a few mistakes, you seem to make an effort to make your typing unimaginably poor and hard to read...

Is this thread meant to be ironic. Your post seems rather poorly formed, I can understand it, but only just.

What do you do with the time you save from typing "peeps" instead of "people"?

Just another sign of this country going down the pan to be honest.

Was shocked to hear the other day that a 1/3 of primary school leavers fail to meet basic reading/writing/arithmetic levels.

serious thread . not jokey at all.yes but just because someone talks slang or types text doesnt mean peeps are thicko.so if 3rd of brition is failing in language does it make it worse as far as i can see peeps are cleverer now than probably ever before.maybe just speeding up slicing the language down is the way forward.if we all did this would it make us not as bright.i think not.

you're not illiterate, you're lazy.

It makes you come across as less clever obviously.

But seriously people, you must be absolutely stupid if you can not figure out what he is saying.

Its his loss really.

I wonder if a third of even university students have a good standard of English. I fear not.

is english your first language? i deal with people who speak like you on a daily basis, but they are all from east asia (mainly malaysia/philipines etc)

Shotgun_ned · 24 Mar 2007 at 12:56

Just a sign of laziness to me. I'm much more likely to skip past a poorly worded/spelt post, or if I did read it then I wouldn't take the author's views as seriously.

Technology is changing the English language, we must all conform.

It isn't that I can't understand what is being said, I just can't be bothered to read if if they can't be bothered to write it properly.

That only corrects spelling errors though so it still allows people to write gibberish.

If it is a serious thread, why don't you put a little effort into presenting it as such? If you talk (or type) like a retard, you will be treated as a retard.

Do yourself a favour and try harder. People may begin to take you seriously then.
