Well that's handy, because I need to have dramatic pause even while typing... (see? :P)
Let me guess then... People who miss capitals? Their/There/They're culprits? Or even the absolute butchery of the language with such fantastications as LOL, ROFL and LMAO... BBIAB, AFK and even OMFGWTFBBQ!!one1!
Capitals are important to me, as are keeping straight those FCWs. I'm also a big fan of proper use of punctuation like commas and periods and the like.
Onlinism aren't a big problem for me -- but that's because when people use them, they're usually being funny about it. People who use "1337 sp34k" on a serious level scare me. But most people are just mocking it. That's ok. I "fun" in making fun of them too ;D Although the only real acronyms I use are "LOL" and "BRB." I'm not a big fan of rofl or roflmao or omg or ttyl. Those are just dumb.
I guess most people's time is far too important to press the shift key eh? :P
Full stops often elude me at the end of sentences unless they're followed themselves by a sentence. Like I might well end this sentence without any official stop, but then I usually whack my dots on the end thusly... ;)
I never really got into the "lol" phenomena cause I kinda knew some guys who actually spoke in l33t... That kinda thing will put you off language crimes for a very long time indeed.
My big laz-ee typing comes from tho... The "ugh" (ironically named) takes up far too much of my time, and I have to remember to be more formal about it's spelling when in the real world of langauge again.
