Wow. It amazes me how uptight people get over netspeak. I noticed that it's worse in the LJ/webdesign community, basically where everyone act like pretentious pricks, lol. I bet if they met you face to face they wouldn't have the guts to say that shit.
Your post got me curious... so I went through most of the posts of September. Hmm. While I agree with a majority of the rants on grammar, spell checks, etc., I still find it a scary community for its collective brutality. I hope they never find my fanfiction. I think I will hide now.
They might skewer me alive for just saying that, of course. :D
Oh yeah, they are overly picky (to say the least lol!). There are some things that I don't like, but on the other hand, there are some freaking hilarious rants over there so I just have to look sometimes XD However, I did learn some interesting tidbits about grammar while reading it. XD
I can get why they are annoyed by net speak, but seriously, is 'ur' a big deal? I don't think so -_-'

Also I went to an all-girl secondary school, so I can be damn scary, lol.
