Ben, thank you for this. I've been wanting to post something along these lines but never really wanted to take the time.
We are all, for the most part, adults, regardless of your age. Don't talk here like you would talk on a cell phone, it doesn't help anyone.
"OMG, it was so cool wn ur TM did that lol!!!! Soo fun-e. N E 1 have N E pix of it?"
I've seen that in an instant message to me before, I don't think I have talked to that person since. Really hard to respect a person when all you know is their typing and they type like a kid on a SMS cell phone.
Case and point
and Ben:
When someone posts a message that is so riddled with typographical, grammatical, and punctuation errors as to render the message intelligible, I personally find it hard to take that poster seriously.
The word is
unintelligible
