I admit, I have a habit of writing in fragments on GC. I'll just start a sentence with "and" or "but" and I know it's wrong, but it sounds conversational and indicates pause. Sometimes I use use "..." or "---".

Co-sign on the bit about ending sentences with prepositions. I guess we've bastardized our own language to the point where correctness sounds stuffy.

The expectation for writing for Greek Chat is not the same level as MLA or APA, but it's definitely at a higher level than texting/IM etc. It is fun to pick apart the grammar/spelling of obnoxious posters.
