I talk to one of my friends a lot over Yahoo, and it bothers the hell out of me that he misspells a good 75% of his words. He's in college mind you, he should know how to spell respect.

Not at all. I think this type of chatting are quick chats. You must use short terms and some times make misspells. Thats what online chatting is. A quick chat with a lot of misspell words. As long as you understand what is written everything is alright.

hmm...some are ok...but after a limit and repeated warnings if the thing goes on an on...then what would you do...see, typos are very common and even i make several times...but if someone makes such mistakes and which are unable to make out most of the time...then u would feel so...

understanding and respect should be your guiding factor my friend. not everyone is a good typist not like before in school everyone is taught typing but nowadys only a few handful can work with the "QWERTY" or the "ASDF-JKL;". if you are a friend then you should be more understanding.and not everyone is good in the english language ,as well.maybe, the next time you encounter petty things like this, please do have the patience to understand "us".

Your topic is very intresting and serious issue. Because all who use computer might have this kind of problem. And why not because when we type an application, thesis or any kind of documents in microsoft word, it corrects our spellings. But now i m tring to do is correct my spellings. By the way forgive me if i misspell some words.

Thanks for appreciating my discussion...well ,this is a very common issue. But sometime annoying, i have told my friend to type slowly and no need to be 100% accurate but what ever u type should be understandable, which is why i get annoyed and its an on going issue for last months

Well 75% is too much to be misspelled.But I think it is because we want to chat just like we talk and try to type as much faster as we can and to convey our words quickly in the process mispells occurs.It is quite common while chatting.
