Don't feel too bad, Blu: He's Irish. "Law degree" or no, if he chooses to type that way he's likely just another ignorant drunk like so many others from the UK.
And if he's got a complaint, I'm fucking British. If anyone speaks English "properly," according to him, it would be me. So, by his logic, he should be taking my word as gospel based solely on where I learned my diction.
He needs to stop speaking like one of the Broon family and passing it off as Irish, even though I know the book originates from Scotland. He uses every abbreviation in those books, and it makes him look like a retard. There are plenty of Irish people who know exactly how to speak and type proper English, and do so because they don't wish to feed the stereotypes apparently made by the "big, bad Americans."

If you're so intelligent, why hide behind that tripe? Jesus, if I typed out ever "doooood" I said, NONE OF YOU would want to associate with me.
Don't worry, I'm not judging and entire country based on one WANKER.
Blah!
