No, but I had good English teachers back in the day. I just find most of the online slang to be rediculous and often it is extremely difficult to read. I also don't understand people using it when it is often more difficult and time consuming to type the slang rather than just spell the word correctly.
American English is so bastardized already that I guess I just hate to see it degrade further.
That's my main reason for not liking the slang usage. As far as general misspelling (the occasional typo aside), with spell-checkers everywhere and dictionary.com being a simple click away, it's just plain lazy to leave spelling errors in one's text.
Call it a MAJOR pet peeve of mine.
You missed one.
Christ! That's what comes from having to adjust your workday from an 8am start to a 5am start due to the hot weather. :sigh: I'll call that a dyslexic moment, since the 'e' and 'i' are typed by the same finger on each hand.
Feel free to correct me if you see me doing that again! Boy, it's so much fun to look like an ass while b!tching about the very same subject!!
