Idle Banter For non SV and non bike related chat (and the odd bit of humour - but if any post isn't suitable it'll get deleted real quick).
There's also a "U" rating so please respect this. Newbies can also say "hello" here too.

Default Spelling

Why is it that many people seem to believe that the letter "U" is an acceptible substitution for the letters "OO".

The number of times I see people writing online such rubbish as "gud" the more I despair.

Well rant over.

When INTENTIONALLY misspelled - like to avoid sensorship thats fine.

But when someone writes that they had got "hucked" on biking I got confused (confoosed ??? :P ) myself.

Is hucked (I figured it rhymed with erm f... erm ducked yes ducked will do) and wondered if it was just some regional slang.

Nothing personal in this, I see it from a lot of people in a lot of places, just wondered if I was the only person it annoys.
