Q&A: Do people misspell on purpose in chat rooms?

posted in Chat & Forums |

Question by jessc: Do people misspell on purpose in chat rooms?
Do teenagers consider it cool or the norm when chatting? I can see abbreviations which probably stem from texting, but what about other words?

Some samples from teen chats (these sentences not from same chat strings):
– lol yeahhh he is. soo ur in college now rite?
– they were scaryy lookin.. omgg realli? sso many ppl are lyk getting one
– ohh dats long and nopee i dont have one

Yes, they do it on purpose. Reports of the demise of the English language have been gr8ly exaggerated.
