I really do not understand onething. While posting messages, why scream in all capital letters or kill English either by writing everything in small letters or in abbreviations, which sometimes God only knows what they are?

When we have patience to wait for 5 years to get to Canada, why not take a moment to write proper English, which is very essential to live and work in an English speaking country.
Just my thought....

I agree completely.
Writing in CAPITALS is equivalent to shouting.
It is also very unreadable, and sometimes I don't bother reading a long message written in block capitals.

The IM style abbreviations also drives me nuts.
To me, it indicates that the composer of the message does not have the patience to create a proper message.

If one were sending a telegram (like in the old days in India) where you have to pay per word, it is understandable.
But this are the days of high-speed Internet - what are you trying to conserve? Bandwidth?
