Oh wow, a finding based on INTERNET talk :P Seriously, this is the internet, not a lot of people bother to make forum posts or 2 sentence long luls as refined as a novel or a college acceptance speech :P

In other words, even if the findings are 100% accurate, who gives a flying shit lol

I personally give a shit. If you truncate your postings to the point where data is stripped and extra-lingual parsing needed to glean a message from the net-chaff, it defeats the purpose of shortening your statements in the first place. This is not a real-time method of communication like IRC or a teletype. You have time to revise, evaluate and refine what you are saying. Unfortunately, the fact that so many of you choose not to, is a bit disheartening, though not terribly surprising. Do try to take at least a small measure of pride in your literacy, and your ability to communicate globally. Trivializing it, is a bit crass at best.

Generally I think if it weren't for certain peoples' signatures our literacy rating would probably go much higher. Besides, it's not like it's going to kill you to use proper English, is it? If you have the ability to spell words properly, then you probably should, because it's easier for people to understand when you type like a human being instead of a monkey on crack.

I believe in some circles, they call that an "Oh SNAP". And Rei? Commandment one again, darling.

A commandement eh? Break the word "commandment" down, and then look at the first part "Command". One cannot command themself, a statement that is also a command is always outward directed, therefore i am not commanded as i wrote it, however you are commanded.
TAKE THAT TROLL!

A commandment is a command from a person of authority. I'm sorry, but I don't see any "admin" or "mod" buttons on your avatar or profile. So what authority do you have, exactly, to be commanding anything of other people? Here's a commandment for you; if you can't say something nice, then shut the hell up because no one else wants to listen to you.

maybe some of us prefer to type like monkeys! or wolves ;) or foxes, otters, horses, domestic dogs, cats (small or large) etc. lol

But seriously, I enjoy proper English over the now so common internet abbreviations, but I don't think that using them necessarily means that someone is illiterate. Perhaps lazy, or in a hurry and not a very proficient typer, but to say that we're illiterate because a number of us prefer to use a simpler(to many) form of communication is rather offensive, at least I find it so.

Hey, google said it not me! I do use some internet abbreviations, such as "cuz" which is probably my favourite and most used. But I'm also willing to bet that the google thingy doesn't account for Canadian English, and is probably based entirely on American English. So every time some one spells it "colour" or "favourite" its considered wrong.

But still, its nice when people express themselves in proper language that's easy to understand. That's kind of why language developed in the first place; so we could understand each other. To deviate it to the point where it's not understood anymore, kind of defeats the purpose.

Power? Mostly, I just see an obnoxious un-medicated sixteen year old, using Asperger's or ADHD as an excuse, periodically blurting nonsense. It really reflects poorly on your age group, given the maturity other sixteen year olds have exhibited on these forums. You may want to look at stowing a bit of that inflated ego, Rei; You're having a spot of trouble fitting through social barriers with it deployed.

Less cares are given about what other people on the INTERNET say about me than actual sweepstakes grand prizes, so if you're lucky you get like one at most. im sorry if i offend people at times, and i acualy DO have aspergers syndrom and most people don't know what they are talking about when they bring it up, i've been living with it for years and it doesn't get any less hard when your gripe on about it, its hard for ME to understand what offends you guys, and for that im sorry im trying to work through my problems.
now people drop it, its over lets not bicker over the fact i have a blunt form of humor,

I think the reason they say we have such a low reading level is just chat speak and typos.
but who cares if thats what google says, 4chan says we're all a bunch of sex freaks, and thats not true at all.
:) :) :) :D :D :D :) :) :)  :thumbs:

now if you wish to learn about what aspergers syndrom is actualy like then give me a shout. trust me House and all those other things you see on the news and other things are coming from people who dont know what they are talking about. :D

I'm sorry Rei, but I do not buy into your usual excuse about Asperger's syndrome justifying your behavior. You've been appallingly immature in nearly every situation I've seen you in on these forums. It reflects poorly on me, and on other "sufferers" (I hardly think I suffer from something I've long since learned to get under control), when people use Asperger's as a label umbrella. In my case, I have been confirmed as a high functioning autistic, by two different psychiatric doctors. Not a developmental disorder, but a full-on "disability" by federal standards. It does not excuse any poor behavior of mine. Simply starring out profanity that you're casually slinging at other forum members does not change the intent behind your random outbursts, likewise. Please show a little tact and grace for once. Having not met you, it's especially important that you do so, as your communications strongly influence my first and following opinions of you as a person.

In plain English? Chill out and grow up. No one was personally attacking you until you chose to go spastic.
