Great! Old codgers whinging again

I don't really understand why people use it indiscriminately. I couldn't even do it properly even if I wanted to as I don't really know how to to be honest. Quicker to just spell it correctly than trying to work how to do it in txtspk :P .
Why is it fine on the phone? Surely if it's incomprehensible on a monitor it's going to be the same on a phone screen

.
Another thing I hate is getting PMs or Emails without any sort of salutation. It's not so bad if it's not the first contact but when it's the initial contact
