I'm just hoping most of them have the 'English is not my first language' excuse. However, there's absolutely no excuse for the ones tHaT tYpE lIkE tHis. Because that's just freaking annoying. And hard to do.
Unfortunately, I remember how most of my classmates (Overwhelmingly white, middle class British with a good level of education) used to type.
Hell, my own mother used to send me texts in txt spk. (I refused to answer them until she wrote it in English)
I just don't understand the need for it on a computer. Bad enough on a phone, but at least there's the excuse there of limited space. No excuse on a computer with full keyboard - how much time can it really save, and how much of a rush are people in?
(Back to the "Commenting on people's Twitters like you know them" - the way I see it, they presumably have private ones for actually personal stuff, if they've left them public then they expect people to comment, so not a big deal/problem.)
Yeah, it's not so much that I think THEY think it's a problem, just that it makes me feel a little crazy. It sort of feels like dropping the fourth wall of fandom. Oh, well, I'll get used to it!
