Hello Teachers:
I've Run Across This Type Of Typing Recently Here On AMHD. I Thought It Was Just Some People Who Didn't Know How To Type. However, I See This Kind Of Typing All The Time.
And It's Really Hard To Do. Why Would Anybody Do This? Is This Being Taught Somewhere?

I can c your point.
People just type any way they want, spell any way it sounds, and never worry about the rest. Maybe grammar and punctuation is not taught any longer in school. If it is - who is listening?

Laughs. We get good at decoding. Maybe we could trade in our skills and work for the government. Hehehehe

Because. Every. Word. Should. Start. With. A. Capital. Letter. And. End. With. A. Full. Stop. Don't. They. Teach. You. Anything. At. School. Anymore.

Don't, I hate it!
I even hate it when people send me SMS' like it! If you can't fit the whole story in one SMS, send me 2, don't force me to decrypt what you're trying to say!
Txt is great innit?
No, no it's not!

That is so funny because a while back I posted a question about my W2 and the IRS, and with only those words and normal capitalization at the beginning of sentences. It wouldn't let me post until I got rid of some of the capitals. So my post looks like it was done by a second grader.

Have you ever played Acrophobia (game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acrophobia_%28game%29)
It's fun!

I've just noticed that, although the forum converts the actual post from capitals, it keeps the preview (hover over the post name) how it was when it was typed!

I thinkthat it is the scools that cnt not teach the kiz abuts thes ways to talks they nevere seems to be ables to talks like they have no sense at all
I also likes thes way that theys get mad when you can't answere there questions as if you were a lawyer or a doctor but you actually need to be a translator to understans thems or a theach;er to be able to uderstand s the weird ramble on no poine 800 word= questionns thea always end up wit so do you think they like me or not or why am I havinf this problem as if you could tell them why mayb it's the whole illiterate thang or maybr the favt theat there seems to be a gap in the way that the communikations arwe supposed be writhan or the facts that a three page question will not probably enven get read and so what's the pijnt of telling us your wholrm kjlife stries you arernots going to likes the answers anyway so at least u could shrtens iitt to a reasssonblee lengthh odfof the other thing Is that when u are out at something that you want tpo go to don't brakdance its jusst noe cool giirmls will thinkm you are stupid amnd well as I said don't make these thinfg was toooo lomng I have a very short attention spane a nad can't get mannnege to sort out whets impor and whits not so herees my question what do I do
