Default reading can help ...

In this forum we communicate via words. How you speak *is* how you are
to us. We tell people coming here that we spell out words ("you"
instead of "u", for example), but no one grades for spelling or typos or
the occasional grammatical error.

But your use of contractions without punctuation is hard to read, and
your convention of not using capital letters is hard to parse. Why
would you choose to not use the conventions of the language being used
in the room? What's in it for you? Is it a fashion statement? You're
going for the illiterate lazy look for some reason? Or is it a
sophisticated thing, like e. e. cummings, where you figure you're
special enough to warrant the extra effort?

Look, we're about substance here, but it's not asking too much that you
conform a bit to some conventions designed to make you more understandable.

At least you didn't top-post.
