I am so tired of getting emails where the spelling is all done in text wording. Now I know there are some unique spellers on MD, like Jaybird, Burns and Hobbit. I 'm not talking about them. I'm talking about the ones who start emails with "hello Pretty" or "Hi Gorgeous" and then go on to say things like "How r u tonite? I m fine." It's just getting too irritating for words!
Does anyone else feel like this?
And the greetings! Geez, I'm not pretty or gorgeous and I know it but all you're going on is a pic of my cats or my hand. WTH????

Sign- I pretty much agree with you, its rather annoying! I can understand if people make typeing errors or use some simple abbreviations but most of its just a headache. Expectually the S's turning into Z's in every other word.
LGQ- Took me awhile to figure out what you wrote, I got most of it after a headache of reading haha. But I'm still trying to figure out what lawl stands for?

Jay I always understand you perfectly!
LGQ I knew you were kidding. I've read lots of your posts and blogs, darling and I know you can spell.
But why do some people think that text spelling is so appealing?

"lawl" is a corruption of the word "lol". just like "lulz".
i use "lolspeak" sometimes because i think it's funny. just like i "talk ghetto" sometimes because i think it's funny.

In my guess its either laziness, the fact that people can't spell anything more complicated then a 3 letter word, and its probably faster to abbreviate everything...

Wow LGQ I actually figured out the lawl! I guess it comes from teaching 2nd graders who are not yet the best spellers!
Ash--I understand the typos, guilty of that here a lot! LOL But if it's just laziness, come on! Use the education you got in your youth, esp. if you're in your 30s, 40s, 50s!
Jay--

Well I don't really mind.. if they start out with hello cutie or pretty or dear.. block box.. if their spelling looks like a third graders and they say they are 45 or 50, then I wouldn't have much in common with them, and again, the block box. I have 0 tolerance for that sort of thing. I want someone reasonably intelligent, and if that makes me some kind of snob, then so be it.

Could be ......
* They're so much in the habit of texting that it's become normal.
* They think it's the cool thing to do.
* They really can't spell any better than that.
Sucks for them regardless of which one it is.

Along similar lines....
I came across this woman's profile over on POF, and the first five words of her profile were, "I am A intelligent woman". that did it for me!

I freely admit I am a grammar and spelling snob. That's just one of those things I am unwilling to give much ground on. I get those e-mails full of text-speak and it just sets my nerves on edge. Unless they are accessing Matchdoctor from a Blackberry and don't have ready access to a full keyboard, there is just no call for that.
