Gomme, as much as I like the way you think, I don't think you quite got what I was trying to say. I meant that people who type correctly, or indeed write correctly are naturally more intelligent than those who can't. I say can't because don't means something else. I'm talking about people who can distinguish punctuation, grammar, spelling. Many kids growing up who are in school right now don't listen, cannot be bothered, so they don't learn, simple as. Therefore if somebody can't or doesn't know how to punctuate properly, I assume they can't do a lot of other things.

This is of course ignoring dyslexia and other illnesses or complications that stop people.

When I see someone using proper english, without slang or shortcuts, with appropriate sentences properly punctuated, I see intelligence, I see intellect. When someone does use slang or shortcuts, badly put together sentences...I don't know I just see an underacheiver, someone who can't be bothered, someone who doesn't care. I mean if you can't be bothered to take the time to write out a proper sentence what can you be bothered to take the time for?

Do you see what I mean? Also, completely off context, (as if we aren't off topic enough already) I get the feeling you're only disagreeing with me because I wrote you that Personal Message.

yer actually
ive never heard anyone, ever
rofl and lol and other chat speak terms dont tend to come up in our regular conversation

Who cares about punctuation? Well anyone who cares about the future really. Every time I see a kid who thinks he's a walking encyclopedia cover everyone in fecal matter from voicing his opinion, I want to kill him. Every time I hear some idiot saying "ROFL" or "LOL" out loud in public, I want to kill him. Just think what the future will be like with all you jerks growing up and not going into science or teaching, or doing anything to benefit mankind. We'll have a world full of mechanics and supermarket checkout girls, and no cars or supermarkets, because nobody would have the brains to manage them. That's why people care about punctuation. Intelligence.

I deem -Rep an honour if I know I got it from being right. A death at the hand of martyrs whom you've stood against, is a death earned.

Why dont you go out a get a job then?

Instead of buying VIP On a forum like this (No offence)

Im 15 and i have a job (Only in a shop but still)

How old are you? 21?

And when has teaching been a good job? :s

"Those who can do, those who can't TEACH"

I think I have heard some people say that, like lol litterally, pronounced lawl, but that's about it. It depends where you are really and what sort of people go to your school or live in your area...

ive had people say it is a joke though, a couple of guys at my school went round for 2 days speaking in nothing but chat speak
i.e. removing every vowel from their speech, it got quite confusing after a while and they were definitely glad to be back to the queens english by the end of the experience ;)

Giving isnt ilegal :rolleyes:
you can simply give the person the hcs for 'free' then they give you soem money for 'free' :rolleyes:

Especially when people start a thread about something on a maturer scale of things i.e. Habbo development or economy, and you get some people retorting with either the classic no brainer: "What der hell is you on about m8 I dnt get u." or the more in depth verbal diarrhoea spouting dork: "Well I tink dat Habbo ecinomy is doin wel, seein as lods of ppl are able to trade der furnis."

Then there's the jerks that use any post as an excuse to rant about the other people on the forum being idiots. I love those guys. Oh yeah.
Wow, N!ckG actually used a whole punctuation point in this ramble. Usually he just blabbers on and on without a single comma or full stop anywhere i mean he really should learn to use them because the quality of someones typing affects how people view them on an intellectual level even if its suubconcious dont you agree nick

Ooh, I am being a jerk today. It feels like a be-a-jerk day though. Come on, someone else post rubbish, I need the rush. :)

My, oh my. Could this be? Sabre making errors!? :o
"diarrhoea" Actually spelt - "diarrhea".
"i" Should be capital.
"suubconcious" Should be - "subconscious".
"nick" Should be - Nick?
