I know this is going to sound really, really petty in light of everything that is going on in the world of late but I have to say it.. sorry.

Why oh why do people do that flipping text talk typing on here?
We don't get charged by the letter or the word,, it takes no more time to type a real word rather than the sms short cut.

Please spare a thought for those of us that don't understand a word of what you are saying because text talk is like a language all of it's own.. Maybe I am just too old?? Of course there are those that don't even have English as thier first language too, what chance to they have of understanding what you are saying?
Please please.. try and use words.. it really does help!!

Who on here types in Txt Talk, Finch? I can't say i've noticed.

I know for a fact I don't..I cannot stand it either. Like it's a REAL pet hate for me. I think it makes you look like an uneducated edjit. And too lazy to be bothered to spell the words correctly.

Stop raping the English language!

You righty Finchie, but i dont want to be a bad admin like big brother watching their every move... sometimes i should be aggressive.
