Just saw this ad on cragslist, I must be getting old, because after the first sentence, i didnt even want to inquire about this machine. If this is how you are going to type, then I guess im not going to buy. Personally, I think that if you are going to advertise to the world, at least type in normal english (doesnt even have to be correct grammar in my opinion) but if you want to type all this shit using "u" because you are to lazy to type "you" then stick to texting with your friends.

Most people who add this disclaimer screw up their own grammar a lot, yet still want to complain about "ebonics" and similar things. It's hypocritical, IMHO.

but if you want to type all this shit using "u" because you are to lazy to type "you" then stick to texting with your friends.

"Too".
 
Kinda bullshit to complain if you can't be bothered to use the shift key or put the apostrophe in your contractions. I won't even get into the crap grammar.
 
After just reading this and over hearing someone talk about Honey Boo Boo... I'm pretty sure the movie Idiocracy is a accurate glimpse into the future for us.
 
sorry I don't understand your "Leet speak" language. Please go take english as a second language and try again...lol
