I can relate to some of what you have written. I am one of those anal retentive people as well who has to make sure everything is correct. (Writing is part of my job after all.) Whenever I send out and editorial, an email to friends, or even post on this forum, I triple and quadruple check everything I write. Sometimes it takes me half an hour to post one paragraph just because I am trying to choose my words carefully and then am editing and re-editing and checking for spelling and grammatical errors. Hey, call me an obsessive perfectionist. I know I have a disorder. LOL  It really irritates me when I post something after having checked it 10 times only to find another error. Grrrrrr.  Yes, I know I have a problem. LOL 
On the other hand, I think it's great to feel comfortable enough with someone to use colloquialisms and/or abbreviations. It can really reduce your stress and time too. And really, why should we care how others write? If they are using proper terminology for the most part, polite language etc, does it really matter if they abbreviate words or use shortcuts and slang. The message still comes across right?
We also have to keep in mind that English is not everyone's first language on this forum, so we should commend them for at least trying. This forum shouldn't just be for English masters; we're talking about skin care, not Englsih Lit! Sure I may be one of those people who has to try and be as eloquent as possible, but I don't think it's proper to discourage others whose command of the English language is, for lack of a better word, "basic". I welcome all of "U" to post your hearts out! |
