How about Mature Themes?

"Oooh, this book is going to be the greatest suppliment ever because it has an Elf Domanatrix prestige class as well as spells that prolong orgasm. Mature themes rock!"

 

[DrZombie]

DC Stupid
Lawful weird
inishnivit (initiative)
Doubts (instead of questions)
Incorrect use of their, there and they're
Once again, for those who missed it the first time:
their = possessive form of they.
there = a place
they're = they are

I'd like to see you write in dutch, or french, or in the most spoken language on the planet : chinese.

Just be happy that people from allover the world try to play together, although i must agree that sometimes it's a bit hard to know what they mean (and sometimes it's just plain hilarious)

Hey, hey! Watch it with badmouthing the Vikings. Unless you WANT us to raid and pillage!

The Vikings will raid from Emmett, Idaho?

I'd like to see you try to read a text with poor grammar and spelling in a language that is not yours. English is not my mother tongue. Reading fugly English (with chat abbreviations, phonetic confusions, and typos) is harder than reading proper English.

The they're/there/their confusions, notably, may slow down comprehension of a sentence, because the grammar error change the meaning of the sentence, and you have to reconstruct it. This effort is probably greater for people who are less used to phonetic (spoken and heard) English than native speakers.

Or, to get an example, for the people around here with some basic training in French, what do you find easier to understand:

Je prob c ke ce bouquin offre des sort EXTREMEMENT bourrins .... c vraiment un grios defaut
kunkun de mon club JdR la acheter, je pense l'utiliser pour donner un sort simpa si on ve pa donner d'ekip
ya des objets ki peuvent etre marrant ... g pa trop u le temps de bien le regarder encore ...
je te conseil de le feuilleter chez l'acheteur pour que tu voye bien de koi il retourne et ensuite a toi de te faire ton opppinion par rapport au gas ki jouent avec toi et kiki masterise et le reste ...

(Example taken from this messageboard.)

Or this:

Le problème, c'est que ce bouquin offre des sort extrêmement bourrins .... C'est vraiment un gros defaut.
Quelqu'un dans mon club de JdR l'a acheté, je pense l'utiliser pour donner un ou deux sort sympas quand je ne veux pas trop donner d'equipement magique.
Il y a des objets qui peuvent être marrants... Je n'ai pas encore trop eû le temps de bien le regarder...
Je te conseille de le feuilleter chez le vendeur pour que tu vois bien de quoi il retourne, et ensuite, à toi de te faire ton opinion par rapport aux joueurs et au MJ de ton groupe.

We're probably the only two who can read both, although I had a hard time with the first one. I know what you mean, but there's a difference in making the occasional spelling or grammar mistake, and typeing in abbreviated roleplayspeak. Funny thing is that a lot of native english speakers are the worst offenders in using weird abbreviations.
