And like Hook said earlier, it does sound very much like numerology, doesn't it?
...or astrology. I learned cursive early, on my own. It was only in fifth grade that I decided to relearn how to print. I've always blamed that for the way I switch between the two, definitely mid-word. There are definite patterns I can see to it, but it's nothing I try to do. An 's' at the end of a word is in print, mid-word it's cursive. I hate cursive 'x', so that's always print. The same with 'Q'. Who came up with that, anyways? How is a 2 a Q?
My 'I' has top and bottom bars, and I get along just fine with my parents. I just spoke to both today. Mom's hooking me up with some networking contacts, and Dad's all excited about some stupid Nascar Race and their anniversary tomorrow.

I'm curious; Do you all act like this in real life or is there some transformation when you log onto MATY?
I second this. I recently wrote a research paper on "Internet Socializing" and "Online Communities" and NOT to my surprise the findings indicated that over 30% of the users in these communities seem to develop a second persona, which is usually close to the opposite or the exact opposite of their true personality of the outside world.
In real life, I say "Yay" about pretty much everything. That would not be appreciated here. But other than that, yes, I'm pretty much the same. Perhaps more profane.

Maybe a nod to your lack of impulse control? Why don't you just ignore me? I'm curious; Do you all act like this in real life or is there some transformation when you log onto MATY?
Do people become spineless illiterate sheep when they log onto the BBS or N99?
Should I log on there and rant about how nice they are being makes me want to puke? Will they just "ignore me"?
I am sure that would be frowned upon, as you coming here and spouting off about our culture is.

Fakers or liars. I'm pretty much the same in RL. I don't see the problem that you noobs are shouting about. If you came into my real home and started acting like an asshat (and YES, not adhering to the rules is being an asshat), I'd tell you so and then promptly give you a swift kick in the behind out my door.
No, I believe it. It is a lot easier to say things online that you wouldn't say in real life. However, if 30% of the users are the opposite of how they appear to be online then 70% of them are exactly what they seem to be. That means that the majority of us here at MATY are just as likely to make people cry in real life as we are here.

I'm trying to understand how a post about something as simple as grammar has gotten ten pages worth of replies. Why is it such a difficult task for people to type correctly? If we knew the meaning, would that unlock the secrets of the universe, perhaps? ???

It also means that 7 out of 10 of the sheep really are illiterate, retarded 12s in real life, whilst the remaining 3 are educated, intelligent, mature adults who choose to act as though they are brattish, egotistical children. If anything I hate the latter more than the former.
