P.P. Maguire, in your first post were you trying to be funny or make a point? I counted at least 13 grammar and spelling mistakes.
I also am extremely annoyed by this Trotter, and I agree with ImUseless in that the Instant messaging habits are rampant and people think its cool to sound uneducated. When I realized my college papers werent making any sense I saw that it was becoming a problem and now make it a point to do a decent job of grammar and spelling whether its foruming or instand messaging.
You can sneak a little l337 in there if you want, I do. But it's getting out of hand. And sometimes I do feel like I'm talking to an eight year old.
