Karkat ignores the message for a minute then remembers he is supposed to be helpful when he has his sign up. He grumbles to himself and opens up an application called quirkBuster; it is an app Sollux put together to decode the more obscure quirks some assholes impose on people. It can be programmed with various profiles, but some of the more common obnoxiousnesses--l33t, aLtErNaTiNg CaPs, Morse code--are presets.
