TextSpeak
Just a gentle reminder concerning textspeak. It doesn't belong in these forums. Many members, and not just the old and bold, do not like it and object to having to wade through it. Any postings including it will be deleted and the poster will receive a reminder of this along with a warning.
This stance is not about correct punctuation, grammar or syntax. Some people write better English than others. All of us can articulate an idea or participate in a debate without resorting to textspeak though. This is a good site, partly due to this rule.
Enjoy!

I'm confused.
What exactly is and isn't text speak? I never use text speak personally but occasionally will use "internet speak" in the form of a "LOL" or a "IMHO" (in my humble opinion).
I hate text speak as much as anyone but I don't get why it's an issue? Live and let live I say, or die and burn in hell if you use text speak!

Are just first letter of word abbreviations. Text twaddle is chopping words down and using "sound alikes" ie, M8 for mate. On a mobile phone, for speed and cost saving I can more understand it. On here, just confusing. Laziness springs to mind, with the users convinced it's the new way to go.FD wrote:I'm confused.
