So whats up with the new way of spelling words by removing the vowels? Pretty stupid to me

BckYrdChckns. Saves space, doesn't it?

And that is exactly what they wanted you to do. Give them more free advertising.

Incorrect spelling and grammar make me crazy. As far back as I can recall, they have jumped off the page at me like scary jump-spiders. So imagine my misery when I can't type a simple post like this one without making multiple typographical errors, due to arthritis and tremors in my hands! And often, I don't see them until AFTER I have hit the Post button!

I always see my mistakes after I post something, sometimes hours. I always try to correct it if I notice.

Also, people using abbreviations and all lowercase all the time drives me nuts.

Ugh, yes. And no punctuation.
But worse than all lc is
PEOPLE TYPING IN ALL CAPS!!!
And lots and lots of these:!?!?!?!?!?!?
Look, if your emotions are THAT intense, maybe you should go to the ER so you'll be in a safe place when you have your heart attack. I feel like *I* need to go there, because you're about to give ME one, lol! Wait. Maybe this should be in the Pet Peeves thread.

I use ALL CAPS to emphasize a point usually. Or screaming at my insane friends like @HorseGirlAbby or @Addicted To Chickens.

My mother had a kitchen storage container that was branded ‘Kake Bocs’.
It wasn’t written in big letters just subtly embossed on the lid but it still drove me nuts as a kid.
Fortunately she didn’t actually use it for cake or I would have missed out!

I was just about to post this same comment. That nonsense drives me up a wall.
ETA -apparently it's called "disemvoweling". Well, har-de-har-har.

ETA Abbreviations are just as stupid here on BYC.
FYI: My SIL says my BO looks different since my RIR is laying eggs IMO.

And what about people who reply before reading what is written before posting (and repeating what has been written already).???????
