so my friend stole a giant bag of ketchup out of the ketchup pumping things and brought it to our table and we took it in the bathroom and i smashed it over the sink and kicked it around the bathroom and smeared it everywhere and we all took turns kicking the ketchup out of it and when we were done it looked like an african village was murdered in the bathroom
XFD.

Exactly. Grammatically correct is the only way to go. Everyone who defies this rule will explode in approximately...

...well...you won't explode...but you sure do suck.

I speak the same as I do here, but I tend to make a lot more typos and leave off periods.

I put English but I do use "lol", "lmao", "XD", "o_O" and "rofl".

I also often write "them" as "'em" and "You ok?" as "Y'ok?".

That's pretty much my story too. I hate when people use too much crap like "r u ther lololol" It makes me want to bring bodily harm to them >_>

I can't stand it when people use anything short of their native language. Even though it is just an 'IM' it still pisses me off, looking through their message feeling like I'm reading another language, or decifering some kidn of code.

It's a lot more fluent and easier to read when its in proper english. It's not like it takes a lot of time to write 'you' instead of u. But I do say "lol" ocasionaly. Because it sounds more fitting, then when someone says somethign midly 'chuckle-worthy' and then say "haha" it just looks akward. But when they say lol it just accents the previous comment and all is well.

I used to say 'xD' and ':P' a lot but I cut down a lot on that.

I try to stick to my English on MSN.

Sometimes I will say "LOL J00 SUX" but only if the other person is playing along. Like Psy :P.
