Why? Does one have to speak "proper" English to not be a moron? Personally I find poor spelling, grammar and punctuation more "moronic" than spikkin guid braid Scots.

I have three pieces of advice for you:
1. Get over your cringe.
2. Don't ever go to http://www.firstfoot.com as you may explode with boiling blood.
3. Awa an bile yer heid!

Now, what do you think?

Does it appear moronic, or is it cringeworthy?

[Polwarth]

My answer is: neither

Isn't "moron" non-pc?

The Morons came round to visit me yesterday. They always wear such nice suits.

[aNonnyMoose]

But they have rather funny accents an dinna talk propir Scots. Eh fund thir nae affy guid at takkin constructive criticism ehthir...

[Mersey_View]

I think it's unnecessary to type the way that you speak.

If it's allowed is txt talk allowed?

Can I start typing in Scouse as that's my local dialect?

My accent in real ife is a mixture of Scouse/Scottish I sound flipping dreadful IMHO.

I think the person that can't read in the Scottish accent need to eighter(?) go to Scotland and learn or meet some one that speaks in the Scottish accent and learn from them.

I can fully understand the scots accent as well as on paper but it should be written on paper its moronic and thick,
can you imagian the welsh typing their accents in english or the italians or the japanese it is stupid and makes the scots look like idiots fullstop.
