^true. i speak as if i were the one to have to read it afterwards. just try to be as clear as possible and actually make sense.

i sometimes type out responses and never post them.

 

Same. I used to want to clear up mechanical misunderstanding, but it always ends up fruitless. Search solves most problems anyways, but the majority of those posters never do. The #1 topic that bothers me? The mechanical difference between rev-matching and double clutching.

It's like the normal friend who doesn't take any advice. Now I just close the tab and move on to another topic.

 

Same here.

Grammar is a big deal to me. I want to be able to read something and it make sense, not have to spend five minutes trying to figure out what someone has written.

 

This but excessive caps is verboten.

 

I write only one way, the right way. Normal english. I think the kids (who are so in to texting and thug talk) write whatever the hell they want.

 

I write as if I were speaking to friends. Since I'm articulate with friends, I am similar online.

 

I write pretty much as if my English teacher were watching. That's because, as a former language major and writer/editor, I'm a stickler for good grammar. There ain't that much of it around anymore, though. As for decorum, it's hit or miss out here.

Almost always the third choice.
