Would someone please explain to me what the hell is wrong with using proper grammar and punctuation? I admit that once in a while I don't capitalize or use apostrophes in IRC, but when I'm typing on a BBS, I always do my best to use my best spelling and grammar.

It doesn't take that long. I retain about 50 WPM while using it, and that suits me just fine. If you're going to take the time to post on half of the boards here, you might as well, because anything typed out in less than two minutes is likely to be shit anyway. This doesn't apply to /sports/, of course (tehe, just kidding 4-ch brothers and sisters).

I'm a teenager, I've been a teenager for almost the majority of my life, and I've been using proper punctuation in my posting since I was 12. Every program I use has a spellcheck plugin, and I always remember to use that, too. My girlfriend, on the other hand, has incredibly erratic (not erotic) capitalization habits, and refuses to use apostrophes and commas altogether... And she's older than me!

Would someone please explain these habits to me? They baffle me, and I'm starting to feel like a troll for repeatedly telling people to use punctuation or gtfo. Thanks in advance.
