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.

EX) Then He Thinks about what To wear in the Prom He decides To Wear his Red Formal outfit for the Prom so he Gets it from his closet and he prepares it For the Upcoming prom

My favorite kind of RP format is Semi-Lit.

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.

English: This test is crucial to passing because it counts for 25% of my grade.
Semiliterate slang: This test is crucial because it's too hard!"

English: "They're going over there to get their equipment."
Semiliterate misuse: "Their going over their to get their equipment."

English: "Why are you writing like that?"
Semiliterate netspeak: "y r u riten lyke dat??"
