This kind of applies to any conversation, too, and really only comes out in written messages.
It pisses me off when people do not use contractions when they are talking to someone. Even if it is a professional conversation, I think that speaking without contractions makes you sound like a fucking douche. Then, if you are talking to someone that is your buddy and you do not use contractions, you sound like even more of an asshole. Imagine if everyone went around talking the way that typing this way makes someone sound? No one would need their nose in the air because our speech patterns would present that imagery for us.
Maybe it's just because I'm all about contractions. Over the years since I gave up on how Starcraft taught me to speak, I've been making a point to mold my written messages to sound more like the way I speak—with additional care applied to grammar and spelling, of course.
I don't really know where I'm going with this, but I know for sure that I hate reading messages without contractions. I feel like someone's either making a point to avoid using them or making a point to impress upon me that they're better than me. Either way, fuck that.
