Not everyone. Just 95% or so. Although that, and a dictionary would be the best gift they ever received.
 
8) Kipsy, you're right :D

I'm not even an English speaker and I can write better than most people I've met. Hmmm... I believe I now have a nice little thing to ponder on. Maybe I'm trying to be understoon too much.

I'll try to speak worse and be able to mingle.

Erm... nou speekie!

That's sad. I never would have guessed that English wasn't your first language. It's really bad when the best English speaking players are speaking it as a second language.. .
 
: Laughing out loud: A couple of words for the 95% of the typers in Quetzalcoatl server (on behalf of any person whose English is their second language): Stupid Americans.

i don't see how it is faster to type like that though... i think it would make it more difficult to take the time to figure out an abominable spelling that could still beunderstood. and while yes you can read, it does take an extra second for your brain to register the word since you are not looking at a typical spelling. but that is just me ><

If I see another post from you bitching about the way people type WHILE REFUSING TO CAPITALIZE I'm going to start throwing shoes.
 
I'm used to it...... thatz the way i type when i'm chattin with a friend.
 
Syara the BLM at argus camp? that bich tried to warp 2 me too but good thing i disbanded ,otherwise i was gonna kill that stupid sht.Its funny thought u accepted the invite >_<
 
There are people who say that it is easier to type like that, that its faster and whatnot. They claim that just because they type like this, doesn't mean they're stupid. They are wrong.

Look at the situations where people type these things. On a forum, the guy who spells like a three-year-old is spamming all over the place, breaking rules, and pissing people off. They post one-liners in RPs and debates, brag about their '1337 |-\4x0r or 64/\/\1n6 5k1llz,' claim they can delete your account, etc. In FFXI, they suck at their job, have crappy equip, brag about their level 75 char, claim they're friends with a GM, and beg for gil. Hell, if I got a /tell that said "Pardon me, miss, but could you loan me 200 gil? I just got back from farming, and I'm barely short of that new sword I wanted..." I'd be tempted to pay up. "OMGZ cn u giv me gilz?!" just gets them a baghnakh in the eye.

I should write up some sort of conclusion for this post, but I'm tired as hell and my brain is dumbed down by reading all the 'oic, r u ok?' impressions in this topic @_@
 
If people are getting pissed off at my typing that doesnt hurt me... it saves time hehe.

Screw spelling, what pisses me off is people walking. Though out school it is drilling into you that you walk on the right side of the hall you go though the right side of the door. But go to a store people walking all over the place, left side, right side up side, down side. How can we expect people to spell correctly if they can’t even learn to walk in an ordinal manner?

Ok I feel better now; I’ll go back to my padded room.

Ok wtf, I have same problem at my school. I got to CEGEP (It's between 11th grade and University(sp?) and lasts 2 years, exists only in quebec) and this was a major problem. Since its not like high school with short breaks and regular classes, by that i mean each day you have say 4 classes of 90 minutes or something as such. CEGEP is like college, you have classes with big breaks in between, 3 hours class here, 90 miutes class there, 2 hour off time, 2 hours class, in a day and you have like a day off on wednesday.

Well to get to my point, since theres pretty much always some people on break, and few actual places to stay apart from the library (damn quiet places) people stay in hallways and such. Things that annoy me are people that like to study in the hallways instead of the library, and sit in front of lockers. I find it disrespectful when I have little time to access my locker between two classes that are 10 minutes walk from each other and have 5 minutes break between them. This annoys me because people get annoyed at me for making them move their lazy asses. The second thing related to this which pisses the fuck off of me are people who randomly feel like stopping in the middle of the most crowded hallways, hence near the main entrance, pretty much have to go through there between each class, and decided to chat. Sometimes 5 or 6 people clump up and completely block the way when they have some areas where they could use up less space ( very close by is the elevator area which is not very used). Anyways this just sucks and I hate that, theres more but I might ramble so I'll stop here.

I apologize if i forgot to capitalize a few "I"'s or something trivial like that, I got all pissed and must type this fast before I forget... And being initially a french speaker, I've always found it totally fucked up to see capitals in the middle of a sentence, but thats just me being sidetracked.
 
i hate crowded hallways... once a senor girl kinda grabbed my ass from behind and then pretended it wasnt her :evil:
 
i dunno about world but it sure did fck u up.I hear u following a a mithra around vanadiel lol :lol: geeeeee
