    "haha" is a word. look it up in the dictionary. it is a interjection/noun

        It's considered an interjection most times, Not a common word used in everyday English.

        Interjection: a word or phrase with no particular grammatical relation to a sentence

          It may not be a common word but it is still a word.
          I see you chose to ignore that an interjection also adds emotion to a sentence.

            Yes, But so do acronyms which are NOT considered words.

              Capitalizing after a comma is not on.
              A member of the grammar police making a most fundamental error.
              Also acronyms are alright if they are used as slangs, which if you go back 1-2 pages I proved is grammatically correct.

                So what your trying to tell me is that slang is Ok to use in a sentence and is considered as proper grammar?

                I don't think so.

                  Yes I am.
                  On the point of correct grammar, capitalizing in the middle of the sentence is certainly not correct.

                    I think we all know that if you are writing a formal paper or essay, using slang is not permitted. If I were to turn in an essay to one of my college professors with words like "gonna" and "haha" in it, I would certainly be marked down.

                      Well sir, this isn't a formal essay is it. It's actually very far from it. As many of your 'buddies' have stated earlier it's just the internet. So your post is hence meaningless and unwarranted.

                          On the contrary, this is the grammar thread. Therefore, we use correct and formal grammar here. That is one of the primary purposes for this thread.
