Do you judge people on how they type/their language use on here?

[Starlight]

what are people's problems with swearing? Interested. Irl I swear quite a lot, not so much on here but probably more than most.

IMO, it's exactly that. People should keep swearing to real life, not over these forums in the rants and debates section.

Ah okay, understandable. Ruins any eloquence the argument could have had? Interestingly, I stop swearing when I'm having a legit irl discussion.

One thing I judge people by it how frequently they post, and the content of their posts.
Some people make horrendously useless posts. Even some of the higher-up people on AN do it.

Side-note: All of EvangellionZeta's posts are heavenly-blessed pieces of art
EDIT: laseredd also has solid posts

pretty much

I don't really mind how people type/speak, however if it's to the point where I have no idea what they're saying, I completely ignore it.

If you use these characters seriously out of context, I will dislike you forever:

• &@#$304 eg. H3y w@tz Up. h0w @r3 u?!

Or if someone hash-tags on a site that obviously isn't a microblogging site. HASHTAGS DON'T WORK OR DO ANYTHING! Don't prefix your words, it won't do anything god save us all.

It's hard not to judge someone based on the language they use on AN. But at the same time, it's important not to forget that people on here are (pretty much) anonymous...we can be someone completely different to what we are in reality, or have a 'two-faced' personality.

Also, I think it's still relatively on topic - what are people's problems with swearing? Interested. Irl I swear quite a lot, not so much on here but probably more than most.

I don't swearing. I was raised not to swear and I go by that. Words like "freaking", "crap" and "shit" are the extent of my bad language but I don't go any further than that. F-word is off limits. Although, on that note, I don't really judge people for swearing. If someone has the word "f***" in their vocab, well, whatever. It only becomes a problem for me when someone overly swears like "I f***ing ate a f***ing cupcake, c***, it was as tasty as f***" ..if it gets like that then it is just a bother to listen to.

I do swear, but not excessively and only when necessary Crap, shit, and so on are probably common for me as they're the substitute for f***, c*** etc I've become use to the words f*** and c*** as I hear them a bit everywhere particularly where I live xD But I hate it when it's used excessively or used unnecessarily that really gets on my nerves! >:|

Why do people self-censor, especially when they mean to use the word anyway? Typing 'f***' is a lot more inconvenient than 'fuck'

I don't feel comfortable saying it but I felt that it was needed to make my point clear. If I really wanted to say it to someone I'd probably just uncensor it.

[JellyDonut]

I meant the latter but yeah

the way in which someone speaks can say a lot. Can also exacerbate the chance for acceptance in regards to accents. We shouldn't indeed judge a book by its cover as they say, but, such a characteristic is innate within humanity.

Speech is a whole different thing. I am very judgemental when it comes to how people speak to me. Although... making judgements based on written text is not something that I would describe as 'innate'.

@ above: Do I even want to watch that!?

^ Haha it was on the ninemsn home page a few days ago, you haven't seen it?

I my opinion judging people is simply human. The tone of voice and the language used can reveal alot about a person, this is less likely online, but I do judge people for being complete trolls online. But anyways you can hear if somebody has a non-english speaking background, sometimes you can hear some sort of "bogan accent" and simply I think that you can here if people aren't really educated out of sombody's voice.
