Chat Etiquette

What is Chat Etiquette?
Describes how you should act while chatting online, and how some people act wrongly-how to react to that. The following are some tips on of chat etiquette:
  • Talking in caps. This is not only annoying, but perceived as yelling. Personally, I would much rather see people typing all in lower case with frequent typos and misspellings than see them type all in caps. You wouldn’t yell things in a normal conversation, would you? And if you would, I’m sorry, but I wouldn’t really enjoy conversing with you.
  • Asking people for personal information, AKA A/S/L. Would you go up to a complete stranger in public and ask their precise age and where they lived? Or what their current relationship status is? I don’t know about others, but I find this to be very rude.
