Gosh! When I played maple last summer, almost everyone was literate. Now when I play, I never see anyone that can actually spell the word "you" out. Maybe it's just Broa, but man it's getting annoying.

people these days are getting lazy, can't really do anything about it. it's not just broa, it's the whole population in general. people find ways to do things easier, such as typing "u" instead of "you"

Agreed. Although English is second language, i try to write as correctly as i can. I met this guy who said he didn't write correctly because he didn't bother. I was like "wth". I usually dont mind if people forget like captials, but i get really frustrated when they write a full sentence without a single komma or full stop.

( is horrible at spelling )

plz masoes? u hav moeny? cn u sel me nx? Worst of all is "plx". So... you abbreviate it, then miss the last letter. Why not just smash your face into your keyboard? I'm sure it will convey what you're trying to say just as effectively.

Chaud said: " hey, what's so bad about the u/you thing xD. it makes sense" I'm not saying there's anything bad about it. I am merely pointing out the fact that people these days are getting lazier and find way to do things in a simpler fashion. IM language is becoming more acceptable these days. And sure it makes sense, but what's so bad about typing two extra letters?

Plus the fact that Microsoft Word has auto correct, auto spell check, auto capitalization, and a lot more features which makes the user do less and the program do more. Although it would be nice if MS did this, but there is no reason to. As long as people can communicate in the game, Nexon isn't going to do a thing about it.
