In roleplays, I learn and pick up a few things as I go along with it. Problem is that there are too many people looking for "shortcuts" and not putting much detail into their posts (in Roleplay in-game, sometimes forums but I like participating because of the fear of "Superior-ness" and intimidation) or too much detail.
-Somewhere in between would be nice.
Although some people don't read forums when they said among the lines of "Leaving Feral Heart" (I did because my laptop was corrupted and stated that I occasionally "sneak" on my mother's monitor/desktop/computer) and some people throw tantrums when they leave and poof back in. Look once in a while.
By the way, I don't favor much on "chat speak", "leets" or the like, but I use "chat speak" whenever I feel is necessary (maybe this should be "stickied" because its so informative and thorough).
