Today, I found out my girlfriend starts fights with me over text because apparently, when I'm arguing with someone, I stop speaking in "annoying shorthand" and am grammatically correct. FML

Well how u show people ur serious bout wat ur saying!

Don't blame her for doing it. Unless your phone has a green lit background for the black and white display, I don't see any reason for shorthand to be used. Not to mention most phones these days have qwerty keyboards and will try to give you the word it thinks you are typing sometimes before you finish. It's just lazy and illiterate to use shorthand. It was acceptable when texts were limited to less than 200 characters (I forget the exact amount) and when people were having just $15 credit or so on their phones but now, that is not the case.

It's 160 characters per text. :)

Yet the majority of - at least my - texts, even with proper typing, are less than that. It's very rare when my message gets separated into two texts to be sent.

38, That is still the case. The character limit still exists and not everyone has an unlimited quota of text messages.

Well thats how u show people ur serious!!

Where are the idiots who always say "omg its just the internet not english class lol"? Come out, come out wherever you are!

61-please place your money all one way...

Niniloka - I thought you were saying that sarcastically until I saw a similar stupid comment of yours further below. Thanks for allowing me to lure you out of your hole, dumbass.

Niniloka - What the **** are you smoking? Look around the comment section. It's plainly obvious to even the feeblest of intellects that there are plenty of people who care.

If you are going to speak, atleast do it right to show you have some intelligence. I understand if you make a small typo or something, but being so lazy that you won't even spell is sad.

I would, but I'm afraid it would be pointless because my comment would get thumbed down so much.

Lol 61 is right this aint no english class wtf !! Chill out itz just the internet

YDI for speaking in an annoying shorthand and having a girlfriend.

Grammar nazis what can you do? I do not like it when they correct every tiny mistake, but excessive mistakes and shorthand is very annoying.

She wasn't correcting him, she was instigating fights so that he would type correctly on his own.

I won't correct a simple typo, but when your comment hurts my head to read it, I'll say something.

YDI for not writing right in the first place.

Take a lesson from her book young grasshopper. Like me, I'm sure she finds it sexy when guys don't use text lingo and are grammatically correct as you may put it.

Your girlfriend sounds crazy OP...I guess...
