Alrighty, here's this week's LJ Idol topic:
omg y do u tipe so funy???? lol netsp34k n lj: A Cross-Cultural Study of Internet-based Linguistics and Their Implications On This Social Networking Website"
Yea, we are to make of this whatever we will. Frankly, my thoughts are thus: you have a spell check button, either use it or look ignorant.
The written word is a beautiful thing. One should respect it and try to write intelligently and succinctly. Otherwise, your great ideas will be overlooked. I know I tend to deduct IQ points at an alarming rate for misspellings and grammatical errors. If you are going to communicate, then do so and do it well. Otherwise, you are wasting everyone's time.
OK, that's my whole take on the situation.
TTFN!
