When people do use chat speak in RPGs, it just completely spoils the feel of it. You cant have a serious RPG when, in a tragic death scene, the main character says, "ill b ok, u can go on wivout me. im gonna go 2 a betta plaz." Well, that truly will go down in history as a great moment as writing, wont it? I mean, come on.
However, my writing isn't perfect- one of the moderators once asked if I was dyslexic, which was embarassing. And I think I might have just spelt embarassing wrong. Man, I'm not helping my point, am I?
There are, of course, quite alot of BDers for whom English is their second, or third, language, some of them still at school. It is perfectly understandable if their spelling isnt perfect, because they're doing flaming well to be able to get by here anyway. As someone who does four languages at school and is doing awfully at three of them, I am in awe of those people.
