Posted	Spelling
07-05-2007 20:27 by -Rob C-	Without meaning to sound harsh toward teenagers (i am one myself), would it not be a lot easier to use correct English? It is easier for everyone to understand and it makes your point much clearer. I know it starting to get annoying I mean seeing "i hv jst gt sum nu fsh wat r dey" is *** hard to understand and to be honnest looks stupid! I don't mean a abreviations and not using 100% correct spelling and punctuation, it's not an English exam, but I'm sure you can see my point. Now everyone feel free to attack and insult me as some of you cannot have a debate and instead use petty name calling. I'm pretty sure some other users are feeling the same way.
07-05-2007 20:28 by -Rob C-	Yes I'm aware theres some spelling errors, it was intentional
07-05-2007 20:33 by Woz	yeh a agree rob, dont see anything wrong with abit of slang but its better if i ca easily read whats going on.....im sure you will get the support of some of the older guys anall

07-05-2007 23:42 by Jim Son	thats fair enough Rob, there seem to be quite few kids on here all talking this text speak nonsense, i know they young but they are at school and they should make an effort, they will probably be a bit ashamed to reply to this thread

08-05-2007 19:56 by bluboy	brap ho is in da hoose m8 lol. text speak to an extent is o.k but i agree sumtimes its a bit annoying to try read. i no ull all laugh because im probably the main culprit lol (laugh out loud)for you oldies
08-05-2007 20:15 by -Rob C-	It's not that I (or probably the majority of users) can't understand it. It's more the fact that it looks stupid and really doesn't make sense to use it. I t doesn't save that much time and the main reason for 'xt tlk' is that theres a word limit for each text, thats not on the forum; why use it then?
08-05-2007 20:38 by bluboy	and in my first post ive proven i can spell. im cleaning up
08-05-2007 20:38 by bluboy	it saves time
08-05-2007 20:46 by tasha	i cnt help but use the words i use lol i find it easy and quick
08-05-2007 20:50 by -Rob C-	Does it honestly take that much longer to use correct English? I really don't think it makes a massive difference. Also (this may just be me) has anyone else been typing up something on the computer and unintentionally used text talk? That's one of the main reasons I've stopped using it.
09-05-2007 10:24 by tasha	i normlly use txt words it catches on and u dont really reolize
09-05-2007 11:10 by D.R.	Following text courtesy of Linda Chenapa: Cna yuo raed tihs? Olny 55% of plepoe can i cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdanieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid, aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it dseno't mtaetr in waht oerdr the ltteres in a wrod are, the olny iproamtnt tihng is taht the frsit and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can sitll raed it whotuit a pboerlm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but teh wrod as a wlohe. Azanmig huh? yaeh and I awlyas tghuhot slpeling was ipmorantt! if y ou can raed tihs forwrad it. Have to back Rob up on this one. The boy will go far. Txt chat is fine for chatrooms, personal emails, PMs or for using a mobile. The general consenus of other forums is to use proper spelling with the odd abbreviation/acronym at the end of the text. eg LOL - loads of laughs Having said that, this is a forum and everyone is free to text as they wish, provided it is within forum rules.
09-05-2007 19:35 by Linda Chenapa	LOL - laugh out loud?
10-05-2007 15:56 by bluboy	yeah linda
