Case closed. thanks bloggerskills.com for saving me the trouble of proving the need for good language. Err now blogger beta has spelling checks, for example now they're red-underlining my "english" next to "you speak" because English is supposed to start with a capital "E". Right so that should help your spelling. Note for the all the below stuff mentioned applies to EVERYTHING internet with the minor exception of private, messenger chatting. In which you may break the rules of proper capitalnessyness, and complete sentences.

What you can and cannot do:
  • i (I) as in "I love you". This one's basically the whole thing on proper use of capital letters yea as long as you have a ratio of 3:1 correct to incorrect 'proper-capital-nessthingthing' you're good to go
  • u. NEVER EVER USE 'u'. u know why? bcos oncE u use 'u' u get tmptd 2 typ3 l13k +h15
  • Try not to caps lock too much unless you're really ... funny.
  • Never under any circumstance unless like mocking people or using as a satire thing thing whatever alternate your caps and non caps. And use numbers in place of complete words or letters. Let me give an example. "+hE qUiCk bR0Wn fOx JUmP3d 0v3R ThE lAZy dOg"
  • Try to speak in complete sentences
  • If you make a typo, try to correct it as much as you can, meaning type the phrase out and not just the word. Correct typos as often as possible.
Ok that's all from me for now
