I do not mind it at all when it's ON the LOLcats photos, because well, that's what makes lolcats lolcats

But when you're a normal human being trying to have a conversation with another human being via typing, I find it to be ridiculous to try to decipher. When I was younger maybe I could spend more time trying to figure it out, but with me being back in school I can't afford to fry many more brain cells -- I need them all!

Aside from a few exceptions (when it's a "pet" talking versus their "human") I don't mind it here and there.

And I am not referring to JUST "LOL speak", I'm referring to 1nt3rn37 5p34k also. On myspace, facebook, etc... it literally give me a HEADACHE trying to figure it out, and if those people are my friends, I delete them because it just... drives me nuts.

And I'm a grammar/spelling freak too, for the most part. LOL
