Dudes of straight dope, if I type in proper english...

and yeah i am going back on wat i said. i was gonna give an explanation but i dont gotta explain myself 2 u.

Consider us told.

How about we don’t do this again.

Goodbye.

The flip side of that is don’t expect anyone to take anything you say seriously if you can’t communicate intelligently. That’s in life in general, not just here where it doesn’t really matter.

Two bad. Youre doing phine phor a whyle th3re.

If you don’t care to write in standard English, then don’t expect the rest of us to read what you write. It’s considered good manners to make your posts as comprehensible as possible. If you don’t care, why should the rest of us?

It’s not a moral obligation, no, but it is appropriate board etiquette to conform to the standard writing practices, i.e., using complete words and sentences. And although the response isn’t as fast, I generally find the Report Post button to be just as effective in the long run.

Thats funny, because obviously intelligence should b judged by how a person types n not the message. Thx 4 lettin me no.

I’m not convinced you have anything valuable to add to this board, and I’m not willing to attempt to decipher your posts. Luckily, I won’t have to anymore thanks to user lists.

Deja vu!!!

Don’t forget the Ignorefeature! :smiley:

On the other hand, the O.P. is a good example of the need for non-English speaking forums. :smiley:

Right now your message is “nonny nonny boo boo. I don’t have to do it your way. Pbbbbth”.

So, I gotta agree with you there. Your message is definitely an indicator of your intelligence.

Simple Dope Message Board

It’s ok everyone - I speak Jive.

The OP wants you all to know that he has a small penis and that his momma is popular with both sailors and soldiers.

There’s a name for that kind of behavior.

Well typing ur way is not ‘appropriate’ is the thing. It can b HELPFUL in certain contexts, but it in itself isnt moral/appropriate. Feel free to come to my posts by the way, give 2-3 hidden insults, then report me cuz u dont like the way i write. classy…

Expect that to happen if you continue to type the way you do. Either that, or be ignored completely.

Come again?
