Semi-lit 

A term used in RPing, and its referred to as, A response with around a paragraph of information. I distinguish a paragraph to be something with 3+ sentences and that has at least thirty words in it. When they use Semi-Lit format, they usually just turn off their brain to type a easy coherent paragraph or a simple sentence. Leading to terrible grammatical errors and often have zero punctuation or incorrect punctuation.

Semiliterate 

Semiliterate: An adjective describing the state of being only partially or poorly literate. A semiliterate individual may struggle with reading, but their partial literacy is particularly evident in their writing.

Using slang is not itself a sign of being semiliterate, but knowing only the slang definitions of many words may be.

Consistently using the wrong spelling of similar-sounding words such as "their", "there", and "they're" is another common sign of poor literacy skills.

Perhaps the most frustrating sign of semiliteracy is the use of 'netspeak' or 'txt-speak', wherein the writer abbreviates short and simple words for no reason beyond laziness.

Semiliterate slang: This test is crucial because it's too hard!"
