It's not WEIRD, it's just DIFFERENT.
I co-maintain a community on LiveJournal -- learn_russian. It's usually a nice, quiet community. I suspect that this has lulled me into a sense of complacency.
Enter 1margaret7, who wants to know how to type in Russian. Unfortunately, people have issues with her wording:
how do you make the letters in the russian language?
they seem all wierd to me..
Then 1margaret7 has issues with people having issues with her wording. CAPS are USED for EMPHASIS.
The sad part? I completely missed it when it was happening, and I have no excuse to give an adminly smackdown now since everyone has gone their merry way on their own. :(
Edit: Forgot the link to the post. Duh.
