Judging by appearances

Just curious - personally, the use of netspeak turns me off like no one's business. I'm not referring to grammar, as I trample it gleefully on a daily basis, but simple sentence construction, punctuation, capitalization, and the "ur" thing. When it comes to casual interactions (Myspace, LJ, AIM, e-mails) if you're in the middle of "first contact" what's your take on what you're reading?

...did you watch the movie on Comedy Central on Sunday? "The Royal Tenenbaums", I mean. It was the first thing I thought about when I saw your icon.

Poor grammar and spelling are fine as I view LJ sort of like a diary - after all, we are not writing theses here.
True. Although there is spell check. But, as a person who cannot get number agreement correct to save her ass, I'm with you.
