The thing that bothers me the most is when people post using text messaging shorthand. It's not like you don't have a full keyboard sitting in front of you, unlike most phones.

R U getting it?

My biggest pet peeve is overuse of IM-style abbreviated text; the worst example I've ever seen--from elsewhere on the Web--went something like this:

m a total newbie n crazy abt makn a sudoko solver as my project. sooo can anyone plzz help me out wid dat??..i know basic java n c++.. can i plzz have an idea of how this project wud go..i mean the flow of da program..n how2start..i think its btr doin it in java.. it wud be ma first project n i really really need ur help..i'll prefer maknn a simple solver but of my own coz i really am dumb at understandin codes of others.. hopin 4 a reply dat wud solve ma matter....
thnx..


Every time I read this kind of crap, I just mentally cringe because it gives the impression that the writer has the IQ of a houseplant.

I had a hard time choosing out of the top 6.

I must say though, out of all the forums I visit, this one is at the very top as far as proper grammar and spelling, knowledge, and people respecting each other's opinions.

Sometimes drama is entertaining, but I would rather have a conversation with articulate, educated people any day.




edit: I think we over use this =====> . That really annoys me
