First couple lines really got me. Then I got used to it.

Thanks, but don't spread that around too much, I have enough trouble trying to get the builders to use correct spelling and punctuation as it is ;-)

We have players on our mud who type like that all the time!

I don't believe it is intentional, though...

lol, very sad but true. Especially how phrases like "r u goin 2 hunt?" are just as common.
