Anyway, my point isn't that everyone should suddenly write essays or perfect English every time or everywhere they type. I just want some people to have the common courtesy to type in a somewhat correct format. I would rather read a post full of typos or slightly misspelled words, than a post with absolutely no grammar whatsoever. Run on sentences are not fun to read or decipher.
Shorthand has its place, and short phrase or sentences with no punctuation have their place too. Using them ALL at once to communicate an entire point across on a forum, is NOT its place.

No i get what you're saying lol sometimes the way ppl type on here really does make me wonder xD actually i do that a lot ._.

Lol, but see at least you put faces in between your sentences. That instantly made it a little easier to read than if it was one long string of text with different ideas and no punctuation.

For me, it's WAY easier to type the correct spelling for a word, than to figure out the short hand spelling of it. If it's easier for someone else to use the shorthand, fine as well, but at the very least form a coherent sentence!
