Most times when I see someone make one too many typing errors, or they use chatspeak, possibly because I care so much about perfect communication, only when I'm chatting with them through the internet do I think a bit less of them.
I remember I had a crush on a guy, and then I found him on Facebook and he would always talk to me like," hey girl how u doin u saw kims bf da otha day," no punctuations, no capitalization, and he didn't even talk like that in person. I personally type how I talk, and so when I read things, I read it as if they're talking (I act out books in my head, and love having an audience to which I can read aloud), and if they were to talk to me like that, I'd think they weren't my kind of company. =|
But it is when I see how my friends or acquaintances that I know in person contact me online and it doesn't agree with me that I realize that what I think about people through the way they type is most likely going to be way off.
