typing quirks (rant)

i'm going to say something people might get mad over, but a lot of typing quirks are annoying.

i want to know what you have against using the right letters. why do you use numbers in place of letters? like, i can understand doing it for a username, link, etc, but everytime you type something? do you know how hard that is to read, especially to people who have reading disabilities like myself? what do you have against the letter s?

i can understand people who don't use capital letters. i can understand those who don't use commas unless it's serious. that doesn't mess with reading comprehension and word processing. replacing letters with other characters does.


idk. i don't have anything else to add. i just wanted to rant about this and get it out of my system.

@bugz_35: agreed :] using z instead of s and the FRONT of a word is not the vibe for me, but liek at the end of a thing, i think it's cool :]

as someone who has previously used typing quirks i gotta agree. i never realized until it was pointed out to me how big of a pain in the ass it would be for someone with a screen reader or even just someone who wasn't used to reading it. I still do occasionally in private dms or say in a discord server where i know everyones fine with it, but youll never catch me posting stuff online with a typing quirk bc it gets obnoxious real fast

the only reason ill ever i mean ever use z instead of s is at the end of something because i just think it looks neat ((example: i got new beltz and stuff)) i just think it makes the word more fun tbh tongue

this i completely understand - typing quirks are tiring to read and honestly feel like low-key ableism.

edit: i say low-key... but it's really just tasteless and without consideration for others

typing quirks are usually strictly for fun or whatever, but they generally always should come with a translation afterwards regardless kao yeskao yes
