it may show laziness or a person who is very busy and uses shortcuts. it is far from being substance to base, integrity,loyalty, or honesty. which to me are much more important than reducing myself to being petty over a simple text type message, and making an actual judegment of a persons character because of grammar or porr spelling.

For me it is very normal. I tend to match the speech patterns of whoever i am talking to whether it is speaking or texting. I learned a long time ago that in order to connect with people it is necessary to reach them at their level. This was in reference to emotional levels at the time... ie trying to talk to someone who is depressed while being all upbeat is pointless because they can't relate. Apparently i subconciously applied this to my everyday speaking because it is just natural for me to do so now. It seems easier to communicate with someone if you are speaking their language i suppose. When talking to a redneck here (texas) i don't speak the same as i would in a professional setting.

However after a few beers the drawl does seems to manifest itself a bit whether or not i want it to.. lol

I never said it was more or less than anything. I said I don't do it and I don't like it being done to Me. If you do more power to you. I am not stopping you from typing anyway you want. I wouldn't dismiss a slave for it but she would know not to do it to begin with so it wouldn't be an issue.

Oh i think it is entirely possible to know how a person you are talking to face to face spells their words. They probably spell them like you hear them and in my experience with some of my conversations... that is pretty deplorable.

I talked via email with a gentleman yesterday who started off wishing me a grate day. I wondered why he would wish that on a stranger.. lol

As someone else has already stated, text speak/type UNimpresses me greatly.

I think that perhaps, I do speak or type more formally, in several different venues. It depends on the audience and how I need to deal with the specific situation. On the phone or via email to my little sister, one tone. In a business letter, another tone. Etc etc etc.

As far as the military issue. Someone needs to unwad their drawers. I come from a family of military personel and most of them will tell you that one of the reasons they joined the military is to defend our freedoms. One of which is FREEDOM OF SPEECH. Freedom of speech also grants us the right to criticize their leadership. They are also intelligent enough to realize that doing so, does not mean we do not support the individual soldiers that are doing their jobs and following that leadership.

I find when Im talking to a sub, I instinctively slip into a more formal way of talking....instead of saying...."ok, I want u to take off ur clothes and get down in front of me".....its more like...." It would please Me greatly to have u kneel before Me and offer ur body and mind for Me to do with as I will" .....and this relates to almost all of the conversations I have, sexual in nature or not. Its almost as tho its slipping into a different mindset that unconciously takes over My way of speaking as well. Is this fairly common....or just Me?

Like anything else I suppose it all depends.

For myself? I attempt, whether speaking face to face, over the telephone, or online to prattle on in my usual vein - that is, I talk however I like.

I may wish to use formal address, ah might slang it up iff'n ah want, r tak liek this. There's usually a purpose for the way I'm talking at the time. This does remind me, though, of an amusing story.

Several months after first meeting, my girl and I would talk online through a messaging system I can use at work [without being yelled at]. In the event someone tried to message her as me, as a joke, I told her she could ask what her "real" name was [a personal 'pet' name I gave her and do not advertise]. One long day, when I was in a relaxed mood, I began talking in slang to her and she immediately asked who I was, and what her "real" name was.

She explained later that she was used to my 'formal' mode, and I'd thrown her off completely. Since then, I've taken to talking in various styles with her.

Hmm. Maybe I'm formal, at that.
Although trapped would beg to differ...she's a sub and I'm not formal with her at all.

But then, we're friends...
