Myself I use some shorthand, but I don't use full punctuation.
Saying that I try to do full sentences.
I mostly like using skype, its sometimes easier to convey what I wish.

Gees what's with blind people having this serious obsession with
punctuation? Yeah I try using correct punctuation, but I don't criticize
those that don't. fact is people don't really care. all they'll do is use
even worse punctuation just to annoy you. So please guys do us all a favor

The reason is likely to do with how screen reader like jaws
process text.
with correct punctuation, it's far easier to get the sense
of what someone is saying.
it's also a good habit to get into in case you need to write
a formal letter.
for example. i work in tech support. Most of my
Yes I'm aware of this, however if the person hasn't been using punctuation
for the past 20 years what makes any of you think they'll start using it
now? If you think punctuation on this list is bad, you should try talking to
some of the sighted people on MSN. now that worries me.

That's why I try to write correctly, even if I don't always manage to do so.
And I absolutely can't stand internet lingo. Probably because of how it
sounds when read by a screen reader. So I know where you're coming from. I

Actually, people, whether blind or not, should care about how they are
understood. Punctuation and, to a degree, spelling, are important tools
used to accomplish this. If you don't punctuate, and your spelling and
grammar are horrible, even though you may not be, you appear uneducated,

I couldn't agree more.
the amount of e-mails I get from day to day with poor
spelling and sloppy typing is incredible, it takes twice the
time to read because you have to work out what the person is
trying to say.
And this is coming from me, a selfconfessed awful speller,
honestly,
It's not a question of education.
It's a question of laziness and not being bothered.
I wouldn't think twice about helping someone, regardless of
spelling, but I'm not going to help them if I can't
understand what they're asking.
Makes no odds to me, type it correctly and get your
questions
When the question of why it is important, I try to answer as clearly and
understandable as I can. When someone does not get a question asked or
doesn't get help with something, and they ask why, and they always use
horrible punctuation, grammar or spelling that makes their post practically
I agree. How you talk and write reflects on you as a person. If you have to
use fowl language to express yourself, then you haven't put enough thought
into what you are trying to say.

and this is exactly what email rules were made for. Simply create a rule
that dumps a person's message directly in the trash, and problem solved. I
do it all the time and it works like a charm. it is quite funny to see
replies to emails I don't even see lol.

Exactly, in MSN I contract things. braille as brl, etc. But for
the most part on email and such I mostly do that kind of stuff,
as outlined in my messages if anybody reads them.

That's all the more reason to do it all the time. Then, when it must be
done, you don't have to go back through and put them in. They're already
there.

When I'm chatting, I never really use puncuation nor do I
capitalize things, I haven't been doing that on audiogames.net

points, question marks and quote marks etc.

Hi Andy,
Well, I am one. Believe it or not often on chat clients like AIM, for
example, I don't use a lot of short hand words. I try to use grammer and
punctuation, and I have actually been thanked for it in the past. There
are even sighted instant messenger users that can't stand to read a
I used to use proper grammar, capital letters, everything. Now I use
commas and colons, periods, etc, but I don't capitalize the first word
of every sentence. I'll use the lol and rofl but other than that...not

Cheers.

Another incentive for good punctuation and grammar and spelling is this: If
you ever want to be a beta tester on a team, you'd better be able to be
understood when trying to convey the problems you encounter and/or ideas on
solutions. It's darned important.
