Oh really? Last quarter's figures would seem to say otherwise. So would the revamped rates, push for new featured handsets, and total shift away from "biggest" network to "most reliable"... still based on internal testing, btw. It affects you more than you know

are you in the ghetto? don't call me foo. it is spelled fool. girl is spelled with an "i" not a "u." the abbreviations (B2B, t2yl, brb, etc) are just for lazy people that don't really know how to type or spell.

I would like to think that my messages are a little clearer. But I don't use alot of punctuation in e-mails, foruums, or chat. It can be confusing but most people get the just of it. I guess if I'm writing bigger messages it would be benificial to use this punctuation, but it is alot of extra work and I am not a very big fan of extra work. Its not like im going to get graded on this.

extra work??? if adding a comma or a period is to much extra work for you, you should be concerned about remembering to breathe, not the extra work that requires one more key stroke.

yeah well my spellings not the greatest. I probably should have spelled forum right as its at the top of the page, but really you got the point didn't you. Although I appriciate your concern with my breathing it is mostly automatic, thankfully, I dont know what I would do if I had to think about that. Seriously though whats your beef though. Its obvious that in general we can get along without punctuation for all intensive purposes. Its even been discoverd that if you take all the vowels out of simple sentence the average human, could tell you what it says. So I would assume the average person could get along with out punctuation in a few short sentences in a forum. eh!

I think you need to take part of your own advice, "don't be a retard". Cause thats what your sounding like. I think you need to calm down and take your excessive need for commas for a break.

Just because your inept ability to slaughter every paragraph you can possibly conceive is astoundingly adept, does not mean we would like to see it. Pleas use punctuation appropriately, as it compounds your reputation on this forum. For example, do you think babygurl is respected due her inappropriate use of the slang term "foo"? No, it may be slightly humorous, but mostly her responses are disillusioned representation of todays youth. Grant was correct in his assumption; the vast majority of todays youth needs to be re-educated on the proper use of their own language.

(P.S.: I'm a teenager, and even I'm appauled.)

and not using punctuation is just as bad as TYPING IN ALL CAPS or saying "foo" in my opinion. i indeed do make mistakes, but i at least go back and re-read what i type to make sure it is understandable.

Be Right Back? How is that B2B? Wouldn't that be BRB? I just wonder about abbreviations like that. And shouldn't that be you "were" really close? Just wondering. It's hard to read what you're trying to say becase it doesn't make much sense. I don't always talk the way I type, but there are certain things you need to do to convey a message. Even following these rules things can be misinterepeted (as I have been a victim, as have countless others).

Also, if you don't talk that way, why would you try to be something you're not?
