High school students. "Is that a G or a Q?" "It's a 7!"Originally posted by DoubleMeatWhopper@May 10 2005, 09:03 AM
I used to decipher tougher texts than that every day in class. Luckily, my students came to realize that I wasn't kidding when I told them that I insisted on their using punctuation.

It scares me that someone working in an operating room could be that illiterate. Don't you have to at least have a High School diploma to get a job like that?

So, a couple of weeks ago I was in the operating room, and there was a new technician. Well, to say it all, he is bulging like me â that is, in the operating room scrubs: the hospital supplies those. Well, a woman we work with said, "Damn, boys! Tie those together, and we can jump rope!" Fun . . . embarrassing, but fun.

there's a fairly broad line between idiosyncratic typing and unintelligible typing, at least in my opinion. text doesn't allow us the freedom speech does in that respect - we've only got 26 characters and a dozen punctuation marks to work with here, so SOME amount of homogenization is unfortunately necessary if we're all gonna understand each other.Originally posted by Pecker@May 12 2005, 08:30 PM
Typos, misspellings and creative grammar don't bother me online.
After all, if we typed like we really speak we'd all be responding, "Huh?"

You know, not everyone on here uses perfect punctuation. No need.

Normally I fall into the "if the meaning is being communicated, then no big deal" camp. I'd rather hear from a diverse crowd of people and learn from the variety of experiences than effectively censor members based on grammar errors.
