Being polite

[urcaptnspeaking]

Agreed and agreed.

Honestly, I don't care how smart someone is "in real life" if they come onto a message board and I can't understand a GD thing they've typed.

I can understand fumbling around words in real life. But when the words,corrections, and things like spell check are at your finger tips and on the monitor the only reason for incomplete words, gibberish, and internet ghetto lingo is pure laziness at its best.

Actually it seems to me like it's a chore to be writing in "gHeTt0 gAnSteR tAlK". Dang, that took more time to type out than if I were to type it normally. Could just be that I'm not gangster enough though.

I think it has something to do with the Snoop Dogg and all his ebonic blessing...or something. Only then can you type gangsta at full spead.

I have been on the forums here at NICO for about a year or so , and have met a few nice people.The one thing I have noticed is that if you make an error like leaving your caps lock on or mispell a word here or there, there is always some one right there to rip you a new a$$ hole. I have been in car clubs for over 22 years in many different cars.I have been a member of Inland Mopars for over 15 years. I started my 240sx project last year and joined the site to make some friends in the 240 community ,but have only been met with people that would rather s$%t on you for something like your typing skills.I admit that I am not a great typer, and do not always spell every word correctly.I am here to talk cars and share insight with people that might know more about these cars than I do. Please keep in mind that we are all into cars of one form or another and should try and support one another in the car hobby. you never know who you are taking a stab at!

right on!!!!!!

i agree people her eon Nico can be pretty harsh when it comes to punctuation and what not. but i notice if you try and at least put some effort in on making it so people can read what you put down they don't get on your a$$ about it.

i should know personally every 1 on here was on my a$$ about my bad typing and punctuation skills. but after having people tell me about it i at least tried and they got off my a$$ about it. thats just what i wondered spell check dose wonders also lol

[Mr.Nissan240sx96]

Just kidding man. Most of what these guys are saying is true. I myself am still in high school, and some of these guys are in their twenties, so joking around is natural.BUT some of them do go off sometimes.

You've come a long way!

Personally, I don't mind if someone doesn't capitalize their I's or the first word in every sentence, or any words for that matter. But like previously mentioned in this thread, there is only so much someone can take. For whatever reason, someone writing in all caps irritates the crap out of me. It makes it seem like you want attention or something. I can't see it ever being a "mistake". Why would caps be on in the first place... why did you not notice it while typing?

And yes, there is a spell check button if you know you have a consistent problem with spelling.

[mattblancarte]

ke. For whatever reason, someone writing in all caps irritates the crap out of me.

I receive and send around 30-40 emails a day, each of which require professional demeanor. You're not alone in saying that all-caps messages are irritating or even offensive.

All-caps = YELLING!

Inside voices, please.

[BrianHarte]

I've never understood why people get upset if the letters are all capitalized.

It doesn't bug me.

HOWEVER, I've noticed that when the first letter of every word is capitalized, it DOES bug me.

You're an idiot.

[DrifterXRPS13]

The problem is when people make up these little internet things.

M4d TyT3 D0rIftoFTWFTMFWFTLIn before the lock.etc."search, noob"put on your flame suit.

I look at all these and just see stupid people.I want to see our world and country progress.I don't want to see a new generation of internet bred idiots. It's embarassing to be a part of the same human race sometimes.

simple spelling errors are okay. I make them all the time.

Teaching people the difference between "your" and "you're" should be a key.

Liking cars is fine, but let's try and have a pool of EDUCATED enthusiasts.

FYI brain, "etc." is not a "made up internet thing"and pull that stick out of your a$$, nobody cares, stop being so butthurt all the time.

Butthurt about what?

I think it's funny that people are so stupid.I like to know that I'm a lot better than many people.I find it amusing that some people are so far into their internet world that they probably have no idea how to interact in the real one.

FTW!!!! bro

You think it's funny that people are so stupid, that' just messed up "bro"

You would like to know that you're a lot better than many people, well your not so get over that too.

You find it amusing that some people are so far into their internet world that they probably have no idea how to interact in the real one, i have to agree with you on that one though( partially), but who are you referring to since you seemed to have met everybody in the real world that you can compare the two?

Personally, I'm mad that its 2009. I should yell about it in a rap song. "its two thousand niiiiiiiiiiineeeeeee mo-fo!"
