Profeshnul standards iz slipn init
Have been helping a client with the insurance aspects of some tense contract negotiations with their customer over the last few days.
It's been pretty tricky - obviously things get much simpler when the lawyers get involved  - but we finally got it over the line this afternoon and were indulging in the usual round of mutual love-in congratulatory e-mails.The last one I received, from a professional organisation, was not only sprinkled with a smattering of text speak but also contained a smiley bloody face, thus  .I don't wish to appear old fashioned, but really, whatever next? Surprised? I almost knocked over my inkwell. |

Re: Profeshnul standards iz slipn init
You should see some of the e-mails I get when people are appealing declined insurance claims. You'd think they were trying to talk to their friend from the hood rather than an insurance company...

I don't understand it and don't want to use it. Send them all to university for free. That is what I say!

Re: Profeshnul standards iz slipn init
I hate text talk, and people who actually speek it...
Even my text's are in as near proper English as I can get, my spelling is not the best though. Last edited by Stonesie; 10-12-10 at 07:14 PM. |
