Default txt spk (Text Speak)

Hi guys,

I don't want to put a downer on everything, and this dosn't affect many of you, but there are some people who use so-called "text langauge" when they type posts. Everyone makes typo's every now and then, and everyone makes spelling mistakes and grammatical errors.

But these are accidental, and most of you try to write as best you can in the queens english

But for those who insist on using "text langauge", can you refrain please? It makes it hard to 1) read the posts and 2) understand any requests made.

Cheers,

Matt

Also if you cant be bothered to communicate fluently and clearly, why should anyone be bothered to reply.

Put some effort in guys.

translates to:

I have no idea what you mean, old chap. Is there a possibility that what is comming out of your mouth is the same as that which comes out the rear of a large horned bovine beasty?
