Which is more annoying?

Postby albinoBroccoli » Sat May 22, 2010 1:55 pm

Which is more annoying to you? Someone typing in all lowercase letters and a bare minimum of punctuation (like this lol) or someone typing in all caps with a whole bunch of punctuation? (LIKE THIS LOLOL!!!!1!) Or both? Or neither?

^ Poll above! ^

Neither bother me x3
Some people just prefer that way of typing and I'm fine with that
Several of my friends on other websites do that

It's text-speak that bothers me
Unless you're on a phone, then it's understandable OwO

Caps because it feels like they are screaming at you or trying to through words.

Lowercase annoys me most, though all caps is bothersome as well. Anything illiterate bugs me, though. If people don't have the courtesy to type out something the way it should be, they shouldn't post at all, no? x3

Sorry if I've worried anyone. I'm not dead, just too busy to do my usual leisure activities online. Real life always catches up with you lol.

Both. I'm near to a grammar nazi, so I like correct grammar. However, I believe all caps hurt my eyes the most. Lack of punctuation and chatspeak annoys me to no end, and I'd rather avoid people who type like that.

What really bothers me is the your/you're mix-ups and when people use "should of" instead of "should have."

That gets on my nerves as well. My friends do that in the real world, not just on the Internet. If they do that in a group assignment and fix it to the correct form, they tell me that I'm wrong.

The their/there/they're mix-ups are annoying as well. I don't see as many people using they're in place of the other two, but it's mainly their/there. Their means "belonging to them," while there means "a location other than here; that place."
