Isn't annoying when people type in run-on sentences and don't punctuate? It makes the question/statement difficult to understand and read. I can understand when people sometimes misspell words; but I hate when people don't even attempt at making themselves seem somewhat intelligent. It is bothersome when people type a response or question like its a text message. No, I'm not an English teacher if you're wondering. I am a sixteen year old female that is in high school. (link)
Isn't it annoying when haugty teenagers get all gung-ho about grammar? I also happen to be your age, and I also realized this problem you have stated above. How did I resolve it?

I took a moment to understand that most the people on this site are under fourteen years old. Do fourteen year olds, or even kids our age, have good grammar? It most certainly isn't spectacular in most cases.

Run-on sentences aren't hard to read, nor is improper punctuation. What is hard to read is internet chat. I am slightly annoyed when people expect a serious answer yet they type like this " i kno u guys can help me out her because ur really good at doing that"

No one is writing a term paper here, so don't act like they are. It's a fact we must deal with. If you really have a problem with it, don't answer the question, just move on.
