about the txt talk....well its become 2nd nature to type like that. i dont like the full, grammatically correct posts than many users use as it it time consuming to read


It's sad when people become too lazy to a) bother to type words in full, and even worse when b) they can't even be bothered to read sentences written in English. Quite how something written correctly is more time consuming to read thn sum stpd txt tlk is beyond me....


too busy...got lots of basketball coachin forms and stuff to complete.

i seriously doubt Ad would give a flying feck if you had more posts than him or not, as AD makes good posts, that are informative, humurous, or at least spark off new conversation

yes, i am "incinuating" that.
i didnt say it to hurt your ego, Nablo has given a fair reason for this.
the majority of your posts are one word (where have i read this before......) and are not informative, humerous, nor interesting in any way

Some are mildly informative, just mostly conjecture though. Right on all other accounts. Then again I do get a good laugh out of Mr Dion now and again.

So you're busy - why does that make it harder to read correctly written sentences than stupid text-talk ones? Am I missing something? Are people today so * lazy and illiterate that they can only read words that have had all teh vowels removed, and all the s's turned into z's?

No wonder your busy, it must take a while trying to work out what your messages say before you hit the Submit button, just a thought.

Look Spanky - the reason why the text slang annoys the most of us, is because it really is difficult to decode and puts you off the post and what its really saying. Hey I get the odd spelling mistake, I'm not against that, its the text slang.

ok well thats okay then, i will try not to take up everbody's time with text talk, it is just people we usually talk to use that text talk also. so it is really a bit of a misunderstanding!
i am sorry for not being grammatically correct thus far and will try to change to everybody's apparently high standards.

All we are askin is to use your txt talk in text messages! surley that is what its invented for, your givin a lovely sized key board with each letter haveing its very own button and you insist on shortening words. Plus i dont know about you but i shorten words on text messages so i can get better value for money, THIS IS FREE!!

I actually tend to spell things properly in text messages - but I find that easier as I use the predictive text option on my phone...

Same here. If that puts my message past the 160c limit I economise on words, not letters. - jc

this statement is of little validity...if you check you will find that the majority of my posts are well over the one word limit.
please personalize your statement...my posts may not be interesting informative or humerous TO YOU...but to some sickly twisted person of a low intelligence they mite be..

to busy most of the time to type...not read. if i was illiterate i would not be able to reply of even read your posts...stop calling people illiterate when they are obviously not.
