Huh! In a huff now.

What are you doing DB, starting a thread like this without inviting me...............

I think locking a thread with the reason "Incomprehensible" then deleting it 24 hours later is the answer.

I think we all can and do make allowances for any non-native English speakers, but if Fillipe whos Portugese can do a fine job of posting here, some "local" from Essex, Yorkshire or even South Wales can make the same effort.

I'm afraid it's a disease that's spreading, text speak is fine on a phone where it allows you to fit more into a message, but shouldn't be used anywhere else.

Grammar is just dying these days I'm afraid

[edit] One of the guys I work with types everything in upper case with very little punctation - try reading a block of that!

+ 1 to OP. Lack of punctuation is the worst in my opinion. It makes solid blocks of text so hard to read.

*Refrains from making a joke thats probably been on every page of this thread*

Oh dear, lol at this.

If people have a problem with dictionaries, get Firefox. It has a spell checker (ohh look spell checker is two words ), albeit, a bloody US one on mine, so some of the stuff I look at and go "WTF doooood!"
