(I'll type normally for just this statement.)

[QUOTE) I'm sorry even 13 year olds should be able to communicate in something resembling proper english. [/QUOTE]

I might be only thirteen, but I have a college reading and writing level. By the way English should be capitalized.

It's not a matter of not KNOWING proper English for the most part... it's usually just thinking that it's faster to type in IM slang.

Exactly.

And, by the way, she just wanted to say that Ikki14Reed has been really helpful to her. She was not trying to start a private conversation.

Thank you.

This subject has already been beaten to death, thus the reason for closing it.



Just so you know: YNers who type properly are respected more on the site, and their arguments are more likely to be taken seriously by their peers. This isn't me arguing with you, this is me making an observation.

If you choose to continue to type in IM slang, that is your choice, however, it seems to be an insult to your intelligence if you do not speak (or type!) clearly enough to be understood when you are more than capable of doing so.

Something to keep in mind.

Have a nice day.
