It might be a bit of ethnocentrism or something - I did distance myself from those who were more "incorrect" by way of how they wrote/spoke/etc. barring non-native speakers of English (whom I am always glad to help out). Except for school, most of what I was exposed to was "proper" grammatical English, especially the written form. Thus when I see something that deviates from this coming from a native speaker, I die a bit inside.

time to adapt. We all feel differently about the way people type. You learn to let it go because its not that important. I personally seek to use punctuation to whatever effect i can because I enjoy expressing myself that way. Fitted doesn't, and while I don't care for it, its not really worth attacking someone over.

I will say this, we should keep our ramblings to a single thread.

Would be for the better perhaps. My style may just be more of the "technically correct" style. Also see my reply to grok earlier in this thread.
