How often do you use internet slang?

[J]

Just watching other people use net slang makes by head hurt; if I were directly exposed to it by using it myself, my head would probably explode. (with the exception of "lol" and smilies)

Rarely, there's the occasional "lol" but not much really. Even though people I know speak it.

I never use internet slang, despite my username (hehe). Even on AOL Instant Messenger (which, by the way, I always say AOL Instant Messenger instead of AIM), I always put a capital letter at the start of each sentence and put a punctuation mark at the end. However, I do occasionally use smilies. ^_^

I don't usually use it unless I'm tired or don't want to right it out. normally I use lol ,omg, wtf, and g2g.

I voted for - Never. Its really noobish.

I hate it.

Used to, but stopped using it after I realised it made me look like even a bigger noob. Sometimes I use it to make fun of noobs, like

'ZOMG I HERDS U LIEKZ MUDKIPS!!!!!!11one!!eleventy'

Hardly ever. The only time I'm caught using it is if I just don't care, I'm sleep deprived or I'm mocking an idiot that actually does use chatspeak. It makes you look smarter to type properly than to user chatspeak anyways, as someone has already said.
