Do you like chatting? I don't!

I hate chatting online. I am a pretty fast typist and I feel like I am constantly waiting for someone's response. And what happened to grammar and spelling??? Kids are doing horribly in English classes because of internet chatting and text messages. They have their own lingo which completely discard spelling, punctuation, and grammar. I realize that is a conversation, and spelling and punctuation are not as important in the classroom or business world, but we are crippling our youth. The more they get used to typing that way, the easier it will be for them to slip into those habits when they need to be focused on typing correctly in school and in business formats. It also emphasizes slang terms so much so, that students even in the collegiate level don't know how to conjugate verbs. We have enough language problems with all the different dialects out there as it is, we don't need anymore. So yes, I hate chatting. It is pointless and a waste of time. We could have the same coversation if I just picked up the phone and called you. The internet chatting takes 3 times as long to say something, than an actual personal phone conversation.

I agree with you. Seems like a waste of time, sometimes. I think it's fine like for myself if I'm just chatting with a close friend. That's usually how I can keep in contact with some friends, since most of them are out of state. But just chatting with someone you don't know, and lying, very true, is a waste of time. Obviously too many people have too much time on their hands!

sometimes i like chatting ,when my friend is online ill keep chatting.or i just go offline

I like chatting. But I wont chat that often. I like to chat with like kind of a person. It will be fun to share so many things online :)
