    Occasionally. Most of the time, I use proper grammar. ._. Unless smilies count, in which case, I can abuse them like mad, depending on the post or IM.

    The internet slang I use is mostly abbreviations (brb, lol, wtf, omg, ect), with a bit of lulz every once in awhile.

    I always use proper grammer, even on chats and especially on forums. Unless smilies count, of course, which means then I'm a smily maniac. ^^

    I... don't use that many, now that I think about it. Really only "omg", "brb", and "amirite?". For the most part, I prefer to use proper grammar :> But like Sammi said, if smilies count, then hell yes XD; I abuse smilies like crazy.

    mostly just the common slangs like "lol" "wtf" "brb" "bbs" "bbl" "tl;dr" mainly because typing those words are too long, otherwise I use correct grammar and etc

    My response is very similar to the one's right above me.
    I tend to use really common one's such as: lol, brb, rofl, etc.

    However, that's where I draw the line. I must have proper grammar, I must!
    My heart seriously hurts when I see internet slang or "text talk". I feel bad for the people using it. xD
    However, I do tend to use smilies a lot. That way people can see the face I made when I responded to their threads. ;)

    Well, I've gotten used to use it often thanks to you, people, since most seem to use it 24/7.
    I'd really like to avoid using it at all, but it's something that's already inside my head so I really cant avoid it.

    Still, it's not as serious as some other people around the web world, luckily :)

    I use some internet slang. Like "brb", "bbl", "tl;dr", "omg". But nothing like "soz" or "teh" (though I typo the as that sometimes). D:

    Only in things like chat rooms or in an IM conversation. Even then I kind of limit myself to small things, like btw or brb. I'm not against using internet slang, though. I think it only irritates me at the point where it's every other thing a person types.

    I chose the Rarely/sometimes option on the poll.

    Aside from emoticons and the occasional chat-speak abbreviation, I go out of my way to make sure that my posts on forums are grammatically correct and in the form of complete sentences. The correctness of my posting generally reflects how relaxed or serious I feel about a certain topic.

    Well I would have to say not all the time, but sometimes either when I get really bored or feel really sick etc. I will use it.

    Not really often, now that I think about it. O_o;; Smilies take care of any slang. XD I use "liek" whenever Mudkip can be involved in the topic though. \o\ "WTF" sometimes, not many others. I guess "brb" "lol" and the like, but kinda rare. So yeah, I try to use proper grammar these days. :D
