Articulate

Able to convert one's thoughts and emotions into words. Those who are articulate can use large, 'higher-level' words in their sentences without making a conscious effort to do so.

Just because somebody types without proper grammar doesn't make them inarticulate; after all, why does it matter whether or not you waste your time trying to add proper punctuation.

Patchwork

Slipshod, poorly-designed. Most often used to describe organizations.

Our patchwork trash committee has changed the weekly trash day three times in the past two months; those guys need to get their collective act together quickly.

Russian

Russians do have the balls to say what they think. Of course, this used to get them killed under the Stalin regime.

Russians, like all people, voice their opinions.
