You can all guess what I chose. C: Typo: "strange" should be "strangle"

YES!! I hate it when people type like that. The thing that annoys me most is when people write no for know. It gets me all confused.

M: Same as J. Endy: It's ironic which choice HAD a typo. M: Argh...whenever we see a typo in one of our posts, we fix it. Endy: Whenever we see typos, we start to twitch. M: We also hate word shortenings. "No" for "know," "u" for "you," "r" for "are," etc.

Yes, typos do annoy me. I try to fix any that I make, even though it slows me down a bit--I'm a little nitpicking perfectionist. I also dislike word shortenings like the ones M mentioned, particularly "no" for "know".

I dont hate typos, I do hate shortened words. The only shortenings that are ok are ok instead of okay and cause instead of because.

Periods and paragraphs are good things. yeah, but not using them doesnt automatically make it a bad thing. jakc kerouac would write long, drawn out sentences, that looked like a paragraph but was actually just one sentence. and those were some of the best sentences. ever.

Typos don't annoy me as long as people aren't purposely misspelling the word because they think it makes them look kewl. Oh chat speak, that annoys me.

Some people purposefully misspell words, as in "I woz wondrin y u lyk da bookz", because they think it looks cute, or cool, or because it's supposedly faster to type those shortened words. I just find it annoying and I think it makes the person responsible look really imbecilic.
