...As for the AIM to destroy good spelling and grammar article... Er. You know, I despise chatspeak more than most people, but I really do disagree on how poor spelling/punctuation/grammar=stupidity. It doesn't. In some cases, yes, but in most, it's just people not wanting to bother with typing out long sentences and such. As a result, they use abbreviations. Yes, changing things like 'cool' to 'kewl' is stupid- it doesn't solve any length problems- and it really doesn't look cool.
But for the most part, people just don't want to use proper grammar. I mean, it's not considered kewl at all. Um. I mean cool.
(Completely offtopic, I know, but by the way... For some reason, 'kewl' reminds me of watermelons. I don't know why. Maybe I'm secretly Princess of the Watermelons, and the Great Lord Watermelon will come to me on my sixteenth birthday, or something.
I suppose I'm going to have to stop eating watermelons now.
Damn, foiled again.)

HEY XIL! The F isn't capitilized...and you forgot the !. :P I'm the not the right answer though...last I checked.
Kill the editor, not the writer. =)
Or kill the person who's been skiving off superediting, which doesn't seem to exist anymore. *whistle*
And now I realise that I forgot about the Flashback articles. Oops. XP

As soon as I saw Bono's picture, I thought, "Chass". You like U2 far too much for your own good.

That article was very informative, haha. I've always wondered what Bono's real name was...
Sure, I'm not really a U2 fan, but hey, at least it killed half an hour of my time (it took that long to edit it...I don't even write essays that long!). :D

Um, in the PPTers say the darndest things section, this quote was printed:
It's credited to AFI_Sorrow, but I was actually the one who said it
I almost concussed myself once when I was 6 because I ran into a wardrobe. I was trying to get into Narnia...

You guys are far too alike for your own good.
...And that is my excuse.

Don't worry about it, I just wanted to point it out.

Gack! Sorry! It was primarily submission based this issue, and I've been too busy to actually check up on the quotes.
Sorry again!

Oh, I know that. I just wanted to point that out, as most people who don't use/are against chatspeak tend to think that chatspeak automatically equals stupidity. It doesn't.

Unless of course they go pure chatspeak on you. Then you begin to question their sanity. Especially if they aren't PPTers. But I do have to agree. Things like "Do U G2G soon?" are just shortenings. They don't imply idiocy. Unless they begin misspelling the chatspeak...
