Being proper online?

For me, most of the time it is important. Even though I enjoy having fun, I do not want to make it look like I am posting, just to post, and do not want to put any thought into what I write.

It is mainly the "There is a time and place for everything" idea.

To me being proper and writing properly is really important. The reason is because when people talk in slang or talk with abbreviations such as: "ilu or Omg!!!! That is AWESOME!". It looks like you are lazy and people won't take you seriously or have as much respect for you.

Besides, you should always want to look proper and write properly.

Agreed. 

Before I join a forum I usually look at the staffs spelling and professionalism. If they can't take the time to type properly then obviously they aren't too worried about how their forum looks.

I try to do my best. I look at today's generation of children and I nearly cry at the Fact that they can't spell, nor write in complete sentences. For them the Internet should be a place where they practice that.
