   | New members - Text speak We seem to be getting loads of new members recently which is great welcome to you all :welcome: One thing which isnt so great is the amount of text speak that seems to be creeping into the Forum stuff like wots de wurse dat cn hapn wit roids dats wot i fort etc.... Abreviations, like tbh, lol, rofl, etc. are easy enough to understand but text speak takes forever to read I dont think im the only person who this annoys as its been mentioned before, so newbies welcome enjoy the forum, its one of the most informative on the net...but please if your going to post do so in english

| Still on the first step - its huge!  | Re: New members - Text speak Does my head in. Whether in emails or on a forum. There is plenty of space unlike a phone so why the need to shorten it? I swear there are kids today who can't communicate unless that way. Imagine their job applications! Really is a struggle to read some like.
