I hate gradients. They're a pain even if you can read all the different colors used. And if you can't they're even worse.

I hate it when people use chatspeak. It takes no time at all just to type out one more letter or two to spell something the proper way. I don't mind abbreviations like "lol", but I can't stand it when people are too freaking lazy to type out an extra letter. I know not everybody is a fast typer, but I think using chatspeak isn't going to improve your typing skills at all. It'll probably make them even worse. I hate it when people spell "cool" with a k so it says "kool". Drives me insane!

I sometimes write "kewl" rather than "cool" but thats because its a slightly different word...

I rather like gradients. I think they add visual appeal to your posts. Plus, you can use them to "set the mood" for a post.

I don't mind a bit of it, but excessive chatspeak makes my skin crawl.

If its a word or two I don't really mind it but when its starts to be the whole sentence, then its annoying.

After being an avid user of the internet for so long, I can honestly say that I hate it.
