dude improve ur grammar... I'm a 12 year old boy and every little ***** in my class has better grammar than you

And since this is the way I type and converse here, I suppose that I annoy the piss out of u and regard urself better than me because u use full words rather than substituting shorter versions of words that are too long to begin with in the first place???but damn it i'm better than "u" and "ur".........
