Also, it wouldn't hurt to use some punctuation in your posts mate. You don't use caps when neccessary nor do you add commas, full stops when you need to.

Personally I find it rather annoying and hard to read. And typing them out properly seems better.

if its typed like this then i don't see what the big deal is
But if its like the other person posted, its hard to read and just time killing. You can get better practice out of doing it with at least the correct spelling, unless your not sure of how the word is spelled.

I always thought it was just people talking like they were in a gang or something. I'm used to it now Thank God I can understand it.

It becomes quite annoying when you do that excessively and only causes people to get angry with you, it doesn't work to constantly correct people online.

To be honest, if I was a moderator, I would be spending my time on
SpyroForum correcting everybody's grammar mistakes. I guess I'm like
this because my sister, who is 20 now, has always had grammar trouble
throughout her life, and I was always the one to correct her. My mom is at
the point now to where she often asks me to help her spell words correctly.
My dad, in fact, is quite literate. He doesn't need help.

I'm thirteen and I think that it takes more time to shorten your words than it does to type them normally.
I typed at least semi-well when I was around 10 years old, when I joined my first forum.

I've noticed your posts are already becoming better and more readable; it's a good start. No one asked for perfection. It's impossible to have perfect spelling and grammar in every post.

Just make an honest effort, and have fun. That's all I ask.

We not super strict, like everything had to be perfect or else we will go nuts, but it helps when you put a bit of extra time into your posts. I'm not saying you need to make it perfect every time, but you know, put in an honest effort.

Then leave; we want nothing to do with those who can't communicate effectively. No, spelling errors so long as it is readable don't count.

And no one really cares for your belief's on the afterlife. Especially since SR banned it.
