typing

[ancmetro]

      I have been typing for many years. From old fashioned typewriters, Telex, IBM Selectric...and now, my favorite Internet keyboards. Yes! You can correct your spelling before printing or sending messages.

It really depends on the recipient. I don't usually capitalize and use punctuations, but I do try to spell words correctly

it sounds like fun as long we can do it at our own pace,and get credit for it.i'am willing to give it a try.

this is not serious stuff so it doesnt bother me if there are grammatical  and punctuation errors.  but when i do my school papers, i do it as properly as i can

[mehavenomemory]

I type properly on most forums.. slang sometimes if in a hurry.. I have taken typing lessons, but one habd I have a finger with the nail 1/2 off, and on my right hand I have started with a thing called trigger thumb, and that is really beginning to mix up my typing..

I am not a native speaker  Sometimes, it is hard for me to use English correctly. I just try to minimize the mistakes. I usually reread it, and correct it because I dont want others misunderstand my meaning.

[jonhall37]

yea i agree that it depends on where the message is going. some people pay attention to it and some dont...

[moonangel]

For the most part I try to use proper sentences when I post on forums, and mostly on text messages too.  I will use some common text expressions, such as, LOL, IMO, etc. those that are generally known acronyms.

I've read some posts that are so choppy with "text speak" that I need a cryptographer to interpret.

I think it's okay to be less formal when typing online, but I try to pay attention to spelling and clarity still. If the text is too sloppy or uses too many acronyms it can really be annoying.

I personally think it's just better to use correct/near-correct grammar and spelling anytime there's potential for a large number of people to see whatever you posted.  It's not like it takes that much more time to write out.

It doesnt matter how it is stated. Grammar errors etc. It is how you get your point across. Some of the most mixed up things even come out better.

 It would help if everybody would pay attention to their spelling. If this would be the case there would be some chance for those who still have to learn a lot. The way it is now we see the mistakes all the time and it seems that they are there to stay.
