When someone doesn't bother to take the time to read over their post before hitting update and it is full of typos. I'm not talking about misspelled words, but the typos where someone hits the wrong letters, etc. I feel like, if you want me to take time to help you, you can take time to make your post readable. I've commented on this once, to a ( Read more... )

If you're talking about my latest missive with the missing half sentances. Ummm.. yes. well, you're probably right I shouldn't be online when I'm half asleep.

totally wasn't refering to you. there's a newish poster (her icon is a stick figure eating another one) who only types in crazy intarweb speak. impossible to follow.

Oh *phew* possibly I made some sort of sense then.

speaking of crazy intarweb speak, this person is another terrible culprit. I have no idea what half her abbreviations mean!

I am totally guilty of skipping capitalizations at times, but there is one newish person I can think of who has the most horrendous typos I have ever seen - words running into each other, transposed letters, etc. And they seem to be a native English speaker and everything!

yep, I think that's my problem child. All I did was say something along the lines of "it would be easier to understand you and respond to your questions if your typing was clearer" and she replied with "there were only lkie 5 ypos, ok geezzz". so I gave up.

yeah, if you're asking for help, you'd think it would make sense to come across as clearly as possible. I think it makes me more careful knowing that when posting to a community LOTS of people are going to see it, as opposed to my personal journal, where there are only a few people.

If you're asking a question, you shouldn't disrespect your audience by failng to ask it coherently at the very least. I'm not an advocate of physical violence, but if I ever catch my future spawnlets typing like that, I'm going to bitchslap them across the room faster than you can say "ZOMG! OWNZ3D!11!!!!111"
