: Re: How to type chat dialogue? I've seen similar questions on here but often people use short hand when they are chatting like "U" and "R" and how would you go about this using screen names?

The first thing that I would do is defining a bunch of writing styles which are used by different people in the chat. Some might care for correctness, while others do less so or not at all, and even then they can write things differently; For example, the phrase "I am" can be rendered as: I am, i am, I'm, i'm, Im, im; Some might only use/prefer one specific variation while others use several on different occasions.
Other things you can variate:

grammar
spelling
number of typos
use of smileys
puncuation
AE/BE, and dialects in general
use of uppercase letters
general length of messeges (like some tend to write longer messeges)
period of time someone needs to answer (some people type slowly)

Also be sure to have at least one person who can't be bothered to use backspace at all.
