[Barmy Grecian]

with the imo and imao etc loads of exewebbers use them.

True, but that isn't as bad as people abbreviating every word...

 

[Barmy Grecian]

yes but it can be annoying when i didnt know what they meant

 

[Joshyd123]

THERE'S NO E IN TULLY!!!

And your (Your item), you're (you are) has 2 different spellings!

As for there (There it is), there's also their (their item) and they're (they are) as well......

As for the text speak, it annoys me too, Logantime being one of the main perpetrators at the mo. I don't think I'm old before my time (I turn 20 tomorrow), but when I go onto a forum, I want to read posts in plain, simple, english......

 

[Joshyd123]

You don't want to mention Logantime and get him started again!

I'm with ******** on this. Text speak, patois, jargon - all language development not necessarily a sign that the country is going to the dogs (which country, which dogs?).

As for 'Southpaw' and 'cack-handed' meaning the same thing ... I just find that sinister.
