I definately second (seventh?) the motion. Here are my views:

1. IM-ese is not proper English. From what I've heard and seen, people don't seem to be able to tell the two apart. In fact, I've heard of instances where students have actually used shortcuts like u and r in English papers.

2. Periods are your friend. If a "sentence" is more than 2-3 lines long, chances are that it isn't an actual sentence. Reading things like i have a problem someone please help cuz i dont know whats wrong were really confused and the robot doesnt work. Same thing apples to capitalization.

3. Not taking the time to speak/type in proper English shows a complete lack of respect. When you're asking somebody to spend his/her time helping you fix a problem, it only makes sense that you would be willing to spend a little of your time to make the answerer's life a little easier. I can't speak for anyone else, but I personally am more than happy to answer questions, but I'm not willing to waste my time trying to figure out what the question is.
