Chat Speak is slipping into our modern day, english language. Amazing fact, William Shakespeare broke so many Grammer rules in day in everything he wrote.
Now, everybody probally had the Nazi of an English teacher back in high school. However, those who have ever taken any English classes at college knows damn well, that the English language and every language is a dynamic, ever evoling and changing thing. Language is a reflection of culture, and chat speak is part of the cultural movement going on now. Times are changing, as they always are.
Yes, I am one of the many people that have come to mix "chat speak" in my postings and writtings on the internet. Chat speak is nothing really new, it's been around since the old BBS days before the internet explosion. Some people know it as IRC chat slang. Chat Speak has found it's way to IMing, Emails, Text Messages, Message Boards and blogs. It's not going anywhere.
Now, I am simply amazed by those that have come to the conclusion that chat speak is sign of weakness or a lack of control. No suprise that people of this same mindset judged William Shakespeare harshly in his day. People of similar mindsets looked at the music that Mozart put out as radical and rule breaking as well.
Needless to say, I don't know about the experience other people had in college. But I still remember being exposed to a lot of things in my "Writing about literature class" and other classes.
What the hell does the use of Chat Speak or not have to do with BDSM actually is rather ironic at the end of the day. Oh Hell, what the Hell do I know anyways. Those who slam me for it, Thank you for showing me the same amount of understanding and passion as was shown to Shakespeare back in his day. Thank you for affirmation that I am a cultural rebel being part of the cultural movement and revolution going on in society. Thank you for pointing out that I'm not closed minded and living my life set in stone according to somebody elses "so called" prime and proper and pristine rules.
There's a new evolution of BDSM chat speak protocals underway at this moment. It's become a reality of life and our culture, and it's not going away or anywhere anytime soon. Chat speak does not make anybody any more or less of a person let alone Masterful or Domly. Does not define a person as being a submissive nor a slave.
Some will agree with me, some people will not. Regardless, of what's being taught in college class rooms or the reality of how dynamic of a thing language actually is. Face it, nobody writes in the same way as the day that "Beowulf" was done.

chat speak, protocals and judgements. - 
Profile
), I've evolved into a much more casual writer when I'm messaging someone or making posts. But I still write those items more or less as I converse verbally. Conversing is, after all, what we're doing here albeit with a time lag. And I don't converse verbally in chatspeak.
