<p>wow! I second the opinions of btlesgirl and pk.... Whoamg, we are not writing college essays on CC.....it is a thread</p>
<p>hahaha if caltech/MIT kids are actually that particular about abbreviations/perfect typing i'm really glad i don't have to talk to them on here!</p>
<p>haha chiiillllll</p>
<p>I love us (prospective) Princetonians :)</p>
<p>Actually I'm probably more net-saavy than most of you :P (not that it's a good thing). SA, 4chan, LUE, YTMND, GenMay, and all the memes that come with them have taught me a lot about the Internet community. </p>
<p>The one thing that I have noticed is that girls in general tend to type quite poorly and use horrible combinations of colors. This may be because most girls do not frequent more "nerdy" internet forums. It is also interesting to point out that the girls who can program are the ones who do type coherently, so perhaps it is a respect for proper syntax and semantics that is the source of proper typing. If you insist on taking shortcuts, then lose the capitalization - lack of capitalization, while still not a good thing, is more acceptable than changing "to" to "2".<br>
General rule of precedence: typing the full word, spelling, and punctuation (misuse of commas as semicolons is acceptable) are most important, closely followed by capitalization, and then the fine points of grammar are the least important ("Playing is that you have fun." (correct) vs. "Playing is when you have fun.").</p>
<p>Of course, anyone who takes on the role of grammar police is generally considered an asshat, but if every standalone "u" were replaced with "you", the Internet would be a nicer place.</p>
