If a post is all cramped together, I'm most likely not going to read it.

Seriously? :/
Of course I prefer reading something that's got proper punctuation, syntax, and all that, but I'm not going to ignore someone's post just because they didn't split it into paragraphs. Do we really need to become grammar Nazis? We're on an internet forum, not discussing word changing issues.


Yes, but I don't care about traditional paragraphs, I just like to have the gap once in a while so I can remember where I read last. (In long posts, short 3-6 liners are ok without)
I'm going to look away from the post 5 times while reading it.
I'm not going to enjoy finding where I was each time. -_-

Excpecially when there are no punctuation marks, that's when I don't even give it a chance.

Web slang is meh, I don't mind it when others use it, but I myself use proper grammer, but sometimes a slang might slip.

I used to have a really bad habit of typing really long paragraphs without a break in them. I guess when you type in a reply box you sometimes don't notice how long it really is. It's like when you type in messenger, if you don't have the screen maximized it looks like a lot. I'm not a stickler for typing the correct grammar or anything but I do have to admit that I will never feel comfortable spelling words wrong on purpose. Maybe that's showing my age but it just doesn't feel right to me.
i rarely use caps when i type. i also dont use apostrophes much unless it's necessary. i prefer smilies over stuff like this: ^_^. unfortunately, wiiloaded's smilies suck. lol. i hate leet-speak. on a rare occasion i'll use it when im trying to emphasize that i'm not being serious, but it's subtle. purposely misspelled words piss me off too like wiiloaded's favorite: phail. damn, i hate that ****.
I don't mind some slang, as long as I have no trouble trying to figure out what things say then im ok.
