Personality Changes on the Internet

Even though I, personally, type like this, I don't get on other people's cases about how they type as long as it isn't in an annoying way such as 133^ 5|>34|<[leet speak] or LiKe ThIs because not only is that aggrivating to translate, it would take nearly as much time to type normally.

Same - but there is a difference between one's typing style and one's understanding of the English language (and the pride of such knowledge). If one of my online friends make an obvious grammar or spelling mistake, e.g. definately = definitely (man that one pisses me off), aggrivate = aggravate, miniscule = minuscule, i.e. != e.g., and so forth, I tend to fix them. Do the rest of you do this too?

Maybe it's mebause I have more time, maybe it's because I feel more anonymous here, I don't know, but I lol omg wtf teh !!!!!!11 brb g2g on AIM, but here, I have ALWAYS typed with punctuation and grammer =) ("Speaking" of =), I usually use the smiley guys on both.) None of my friends know the difference between "Hey, want to go to the park? All our friends are there!" and "hey wanna go 2 teh park all hour frendz r their" Of course, I fix my typos (I type FAST, so I just say "*[correct spelling]") and the occasional telling-friends-where-comma-goes routine *.*

Well I am a pretty experienced Counter-Strike player so I tend to say stuff like "wtf... omg 8<" etc. ingame...
