OK, your just doing that to annoy me, and I did'nt make it clear enough, it's ok to type a few things like what you did Dr. Rabies, but not in every single word, like what MRC did.She used it in every word. Don't be like her. I still use chat ocsonally.

While I support proper grammar, I don't mind people using l337-speak. It's okay if done properly. But only then. I can't stand wannabe l337. And with that I mean:

Lol, U sux0rz!1!!!1 u n00bs r funny!!11 ROFL

If the message has substance and isn't used 24-7 by certain indivduals, there's nothing wrong with it.

I agree 1000%. Typing normal is the best way to go. It take me like a minute to read 1337-speak or whatever it's called.

It should be a forum rule, actually, to have to speak normal. But alas,it is not, so we must deal with 1337 speak.

Actually, Jack did mention that we should avoid 1337 speak, but it was more of a request than an actual rule.
