Do you guys use grammar when you're chatting? Like on MSN Messenger and IRC and stuff.

I do.

Well, duuuh, I can eat spam if I have to!

I do for the most part, but when I'm typing really fast in IRC (like my daily rants) I usually only use periods and exclamation points.

Always. For one, it's easier for me to type and read, and otherwise I don't really talk to people if they don't use it.

Most of the time I do try and use grammar, but I'm never always 100% perfect. I do appreciate proper grammar and spelling and I usually only talk with people who can form sentances clearly.

Not sure about grammar in general, but i do punctuate and try to spell properly... i never make my I's capital usually though, takes too long when touchtyping i think.

I've made it into habbit to hold Shift when typing - I'm so urban like that. I used the 4th finger on my left hand, it looks weird when doing it.. but spelling is always a problem

Ah right, most of the time i'll pull back on my left hand to get the shift button with my ring finger, or i sometimes use my little finger on my right hand for the right shift button. Just realised i will capitalize I's when they're at the start of sentences... or at least i will now.

It annoys me more when i accidently click on winks rather than emoticons because the button is right next to it and it looks almost EXACTLY THE SAME. Then it stalls my comp for a bit. V gay.

i edited msn to get rid of all that 7 crap. and the adverts. and i'm working on a new skin since 7.5 is the last official release so updates won't save over my skins again evar!

but yes i do use correct grammer and spelling if i can spell the word. except capital i's.
