If you're a straight A student it shouldn't take much effort to write properly. And why would you want to present your online self as unable to form a proper sentence? It really isn't hard to do. It should come naturally to someone as smart as you.
"No one understands me!"
Cue the dramatic huff.
Great impression of a teenage girl temper tantrum.
I totally understand. But its against the rules as stated when signing up. With that in mind nobody gives a shit. Follow the rules or go elsewhere
Text speak is technically against the rules on this site, and it makes you read like a fucktard.
Your grammar sucks. Get over it and learn it. You can not be straight A if you suck.
Another great example why grades don't mean shit.
If grades don't mean shit why am I only Fucking 18 with a motherfucking 2.3 million dollar house like come the fuck on I have a job and I had to work jolly damm hard in school to get that shit,and if I didn't have good grades I would be nobody in this world,so u being 20,22,23 or whatever should know that grades get u very very far in life.Oh and btw's my boyfriend lives with me so im not alone :).
Sucked a lot of dick maybe?
Nobody actually knows why that would be, neither does anyone know that you're telling the truth. Now before you say you don't give a shit what we think, well if that were true you wouldn't be so damn upset with what everyone's thinking right now.
Also, if you think that this stuff makes you somebody... it explains your poor attitude.
Look, being a straight A student in the US means nothing anyway and if you articulate yourself like a 12 year old on the internet, obviously people will think you are a dumb fuck.
What are you complaining about anyway, this is the internet... Get over it or fuck off!
So what it's the internet? We're still strangers to you, and the way you present yourself is still important if you want to make a good impression. Txt spk iz anyng nd hrd as fck 2 r3ad. Also being a straight A student doesn't mean shit, you could still be dumb as dirt, but are just good at memorization. Spell check is a thing by the way too, so you can just be using that on essays.
If you want people to take you seriously, you'll take yourself seriously. As of now you just seem like a big joke.
You do realize that text speak was invented (sorta) by the generation old enough to be your teen mom (people used SMS texting all throughout the nineties), don't you? Plus, text speak is based on leet speak, which is from the eighties (message boards/newsgroups), and shorthand, which is itself, well, ancient! Even people my age (20s) used "text speak" (we called it chat speak) on MSN and in IRC chat rooms when we were kids in the late nineties - early 2000s. We probably understand it better than you do, but we've moved on, and so should you.
There are internet memes older than you are. Take it in. Be cognizant of that fact. Puts things in perspective doesn't it? I was in the same state of shock when I found out my dad had been using the internet since the early eighties, years before I was born. But don't feel bad, teenagers think they invent EVERYTHING.
But congrats on the straight-As
"There are internet memes older than you are."
Love this. Fucking Millennials seem to think they invented the internet. Wake up children, the old fuckers that "just don't get it" built the fucking thing. I was there when the web (hint: the "web" and the internet are not synonyms) as you know it went up, before that it was even older fuckers that built that.
And sure, congrats on the straight A's, that and $4 will get you a cup of coffee.
Text speak is something I use in online dating sites to get pussy. Not something you want to use to ask or replay to something intelligent.
I'm 17. As I told you in private chat we are close in chronological age. I understand perfectly, You are just immature.
"Wait a minute ur 17 ur not even old enough to be on this site so what are u doing?" - SAVAGEGIRL2.0
Arm0se... *crickets chirp*
BLAHAHAHAHAHhahah !!!!!
I could have said it didn't matter because I was more mature than many of the older users (including you), but she wanted to drop it so I did.
You should have embraced it Mr high and mighty but since you choose the low-ground you made yourself look like a whiny bitch.
You'll understand these things when you get older, son.
BLAHAHAHAHAHhahah !!!!! (again)
Whatcha gonna do start crying to the Admin about getting bullied? Awwwwww
Wait a minute ur 17 ur not even old enough to be on this site so what are u doing?
I dont see the problem with text speak in chat rooms or sending a text. But writing a story or a post that is a different subject.
Take a break from good grammar and spelling? Is it all that exhausting to communicate in an educated and intelligent way?
I guess school was really tough for you then.
It was tough for me when I got to high school im not even gonna lie.But it wasn't hard for me to communicate in an educated way, i didn't think that anybody would care.
Obviously, you were wrong.
IMHO, if someone is seeking help on the internet, or even just wishing a discussion, it is respectful of those one is appealing to, to make that communication as easy to comprehend as possible.
A poorly written, barely intelligible post is just downright disrespectful.
people attack your grammar when they don't like your argument but can't articulate a rebuttal
