I was actually refreshed by it too. I absolutely hate the "netspeak takeover" as it was aptly put. I'm not the grammar police or anything...but stuff like "R u a rouge?" makes me squirm in my skin. For the longest time, I wondered how a few people figured out it was me on some of my alternate characters. About a week ago someone enlightened me. "You put a dot at the end of your sentences, Dot = Alex."
