Well, your talking to the queen half the time I can't even make up what I mail or even text cause half the time I am doing half a dozen things at the sane time.. And don't look at what I type I am sure people sometimes look at my text, mail and go what the hell is she in on about ,,,

Don't mind the Lols or the Pmsls or even the lmaos

It's when it turns into a long list of garbled letters and you have to reread it like a dozen times and even then you aren't sure if you have the correct message then I usually give up

Too much effort

I'm actually allergic to text speak. I delete any mails that I receive with text speak. It's seriously off putting!! I'm a fussy cow, so I've been told!!

Lol, pmsl, lmao are acceptable but anything other than that - eh, jog on!

I don't like it either, I feel if they can't be bothered to write right then what else are they going to rush through. The one I hate the most is K or heaven forbid KK destroys a perfectly good conversation

I don't mind it, use some myself but overkill is a no no for me, it just seems lazy, cue being called a snob for saying so.

I see it on this site so much and It makes me grind my teeth, what the hell did you go to school for? it really makes me feel like screaming at the screen at times

Its just sheer laziness and to be honest I find it off putting to the degree I wonder 'does this person actually talk like that in real life....?' if so christ

I totally agree with you. plus not everybody is great at spelling and getting there point across in writeing. This does not make them a bad person so people should not look down there noses at them. Anyway this is a swinging site not an english writeing class.

can I just say have you ever wondered that maybe just maybe a person could be dyslexic , so spelling mistakes will occur,

What if that's the only way they can spell, talk about putting them off mailing people, there's a thing called learning disorder and dyslexia, my personal opinion this thread benefits this site in no way other than telling people learn to spell before you mail, and they say this site is fun for everyone

everyone makes spelling mistakes, we are far from perfect, the only time text speak annoys me is when I can't understand it, cos it makes me feel stupid lol

In all fairness very few threads actually benefit the site...but they keep the Forum going apart from the "would you" threads.

Yes there are people who have language difficulties..dyslexia and other problems with spelling and comprehension....but there is an increase in the amount of text speak mail I get...so it can't ALL be put down to that.

It doesn't really bother me unless it's a mail where I have to study it to understand it..i use shortcuts for some words also...if I can't read it I'll usually reply saying so.

Wow i didn't know that it was down to you what benefits and doesn't benefit this site. And heres me thinking that was admins and the mods jobs. As foxxy said most threads don't give actual benefit to the site. A forum is meant for opinions and fun last i looked.

Is it just me or are people from belfast always giving out, running down, and complaining on the forums? Seems to be a common thread. No pun intended

Not all of course, but without naming any names, the complainers and negative comments seem to come primarily from the north. Just curious observation.

I think it's a case for me personally that text speak in a mail is a bit harder to decipher than in an actual text as I tend to just glance quick at a text.

On here I would read mail..read profile...go back and read the mail again...then attempt to reply.

If it's all in text that can be difficult.

But everyone is different

Theres a fine line between Dyslexia and text speak I am dyslexic, hasnt had much of an adverse effect on my abilities to communicate via text. But you know what as someone else said this threads pretty pointless as its a constant which wont change.
