Gluttony I certainly hope you dont curb your posting,
time for bed for this thread me thinks, is another topic where we will never all agree, one of the better things about forums is the opinions all differ.

Being 22 I grew up with a lot of txt talk on instant messages and mobile phones, while I was a teenager I used to txt talk all the time.
Now I can barely understand half of it, I still use the old abbreviations as I honestly believe they make things easy such as 'brb' and 'lol' etc. But shortening words because it takes 0.1 second longer to type the whole thing I just find childish whenever I see somebody typing like it on a forum I assume they are under 14 and i'm always surprised when they're actually a 40 year old in a professional job, it's hard to tell if it's a professionalism thing or an intelligence thing, I believe it differs from person to person I find people with rather a poor vocabulary tend to txt talk more but that can't be the world reason. I guess a lot of it is just plain laziness.
However on a forum it is pretty important to type correctly and get your point across as crystal clear as you can, it was mentioned earlier about not replying to txt talk, well I don't, that might make me uncaring but hey i'm not a mod or admin it's not my job to decipher txt talk.
Well said all around :) |

Btw, I should point out that I think it's important to keep this thread rather than retire it, but hey, that's just my opinion, lol.
This forum in particular is suffering from this affliction, and is less and less used as a result, so perhaps we could just clean up the thread and keep it around in some form so that users know how important it is to clearly get a message across. Just a thought :) |

SMH = either "so much hate" or "smacking my head." LMFAO I won't translate, but is somewhat dicey for a family forum. ;-)
Ed, I really do enjoy your presence and input here. However, I feel that texting is a separate world from other forms of written communication, and that skipping any effort to puncuate or spell -- in any medium other than texts -- is, well, not very cool. It's not a matter of age: it's a matter of respect.
Anyway, back to snakes! :-) |

I wouldn't ever say "Laughing My ****ing Ass Off" live on air  I don't care, I'm 23, Student, just I would never want to hear it on radio, or let my future kids, or anyone elses for that matter hear it. |
