I know this is the internet, and this style of writing is common here. However, this is also an academic community.

You might consider abandoning the chat speak and using proper capitalization and punctuation in this community, even if you don't do so elsewhere. People in academia take people who write properly more seriously than those who don't.

Just a suggestion, feel free to ignore it.

Many, many people have made that suggestion to i_like_snow before. S/he continues to find it amusing to talk like a 12 year old.

I thought that might have been the case.

Sorry for the redundancy coaldustcanary. I haven't been following applyingtograd as closely lately because I'm busy with coursework and TAing.

Oh, no, I wasn't criticizing. Just letting you know that it's probably a futile effort. (Personally, I should probably follow this community a bit less and focus on my work a bit more, ahem.) :)

Perhaps s/he has been replying to everyone making these suggestions by private message, and missing the point there too.

Yeah, back to work.

On the contrary, I greatly appreciate someone trying now and again. i_like_snow comments on just about every entry and her comments are usually annoying because of the blatant disregard for conventions s/he shows. In fact, I think s/he demonstrated once that s/he can write in standard English but just chooses not to.

Please don't malign the communication capacity of 12 year olds.

You're right. That's not fair to many, many 12 year olds I know.

Ha! You're quite right.
