How do you deal with people that can't type?

You know the ones that misspell every word or add extra letter and use dat or wut or texting shorthand online. It really doesn't take as long to write real words...

    It's not that they cant "type",

    because obviously they can.

    It's that they are mixing in

    "text" messaging with their

    question. Everyone uses

    "text" words on their phones,

    which is understandable

    but I find it ignorant on here

    or in personal emails from

    friends.

    In fact, it's not up to me to deal with the typing or spelling or grammar errors other others since the problem actually is not my problem but theirs. You just have to grin and bear it and get on with things.

  • its ok to shorten words, or add a difrent letter as long as it doesnt change the meaning.. but if your really bothered by it tell the person to use propper english eddicate
