I'm pretty sure that you could be writing something non-important on the Internet, or you were typing up a professional essay/resume, it'd make no difference. You still will either know the difference between its and it's, or you won't. Goes for either situation.

I'm not talking about chat, just when you're posting something for many people to see. I drop apostrophes in chat on occasion, I get that.

Heh...

Like maybe five....let's say...posts out of thousands I've made on the intertubenets and you'll have everyone think I don't know the difference between 'its' and 'it's.'

I know the difference....i'm a hick, but I'm just not anal retentive, thx.

I just don't really give a fuck and I usually don't yews ANY punctuation or capitalization when chatting in-game...it really doesn't matter.

In the post I made the other day, I had already used 'it's' properly in the first part of the sentence then I just goofed not thinking and made the same keystrokes for the second.

What I find amazingly ironic is that you do shit like this and then call me self-righteous. :roll:

You know the difference or you don't...if you know the difference, you'd not get them mixed up.

having good grammar produces a certain impression, to be honest. And so does making careless mistakes with it.

Typing like shit gives a poor reflection of yourself.
If you don't care about what you're saying enough to hit a couple of extra keys and spend about three seconds longer to type the whole message, then I don't care enough to spend twenty seconds reading it.

Ok kra god of typing, maybe now would be a good time for revealing that I am not using a keyboard but a blackberry. And when I make typos I refuse to take the effort to correct them. So once again ignorance shows it's ugly head.(Happy Trk). This typing line of whine was a nice distraction from me showing thew difference between badass and dumbass... Or was it?

If it's that much of a chore to type at all, why type? Am I that important to you?
If I'm so pathetic and nerd and this and that, why do you cling to this thread, this forum, this game, to drink my every word and write some witty (in your own eyes, anyway...) retort? Why would you spend seconds typing a two line flame, let alone minutes doing it on some fancy doodad or what have you? Just to stick it to some 19 year old on the internet?

Man, I hope to have awesome prioritization skills like you by the time I get to be your age. That'd rock.
Alas, an unattainable goal.
