This all the way. X3
The murdering of language here is appalling.

They both annoy me. WHEN PEOPLE TALK IN CAPITAL LETTERS, I FEEL LIKE I'M BEING SCREAMED AT. but when ppl talk like this and dont capitallize there i's then i get rlly annoyed.
^ I can't believe that I just did that.

I don't think that either of them are good to use.

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."
