50 Tips for Writing.

16. Chat speak is NOT your friend

Chat speak is NOT your friend, it needs to burn in hell had if you support chat speak, why are you here reading my guide if you support Writing the Idiot's Way? If you even think about chat speak, then no one will respect you. If you already use chat speak, go back and rewrite your story, typing out every single word properly. Looking 'dumb' and playing down your IQ might be considered 'in style' in today's society but if you want to write, stopp typpin lyk dis 2 me or 2 any1 els or ill shoote u wif ma watagunn! Looking at that sentence, I want to laugh. Ok should be typed as Okay even if the spell check won't pick up your shorthand form mistake. It's more professional the Okay (not Ok) way.
