  1. well tbh.. u say ppl are annoying for writing in shorthand cos its lazy. i mainly do it for ease. if u look at our technology. lazy is good. as most progress has been lazy ppl designing things to make things easier. example. any form of transport. gets us to our destination faster and in comfort. and we even have cruise control so we dont need to always use peddle. and power steering to make turning easier. theres also the remote control as we didnt want to stand up or walk to what we want to turn on/up/down/off/over. indoor plumbing. telephone. lights. all made to make life easier.
    intelligence for me is the ability to learn, adapt, and apply ourselves to the world around us.
     
  2. I know a lot of smart ppl that isnt intelligent.
    Albert Einstein, math wasnt his strong suit.
     
  3. Some people just don't want to write properly when it comes to a game or a text. That doesn't mean their not smart in my opinion. I write for newspapers and yearbooks and I'm an editor in both areas; English is my second language, I spend all day writing proper English. If you saw how I texted my friends you'd never believe me. I'm very big on grammar and punctuation, but its a game, maybe people don't want to spend time writing essays. ( like this one). Someone mentioned if English is your first language that's sad um I disagree. The reason why is people who come to the U.S have to learn English and every rule and verbs before they can produce a sentence. Kids born here don't ever have to worry about that. They repeat what they hear as they get older and write what they see. I came here when I was 9 and spoke two languages prior to English and not one day in school from 4th grade did an "English" teacher teach me a verb. All the verbs I know I had to learn on my own. How many kids in my generation do you think would do that? Not many. So its kinda not their faults if they don't know or weren't taught to write properly.

  5. Intelligence is fertilisation
     
  6. actually most that learn english as a second language are better at it then most who speak it as there first. as formal english is taught. not the slang.
