Re: Text speak in posts
Totally agree with what has been said here, quite like Lorians posting as sometimes I see things before the mods do and Im sure others do as well (im not saying the mods are slow either, just that they cant be everywhere at once :love: )

If someone writes in text speak I cant be bothered to read it, hell I dont even text in text speak!!!

I have read stuff by some authors that was around 100 years old, you can not believe the depth of articulation, the thought behind the words and the poetry in the writing. And to think we are evolving into more intelligent beings....lol

Have to admit it takes me quite some time to read the older books, the grammer is of a far greater complexity. (1930s sentences are huge).

I did a law degree and work with lawyers in the Civil Service, so I know all about verbosity and grammar...

The trend in English over the last few hundred years is to simplify; we got rid of gender, number agreement and all voices apart from the possessive and the subjunctive (which people don't know how to use properly anyway). In Victorian times, no journalist worth his port-and-brandy would write "a crowd of people watched the building burn" but rather "a vast concourse was assembled to witness a great conflagration consume the edifice". However, there is a massive difference between simplification of grammar and construction and the atrocities that are happening to the English language today.

Partly and it's also cool to sound stooped!!! Look at me I stop reading after "the cat sat on the mat"!

Kids grow up embarrassed to sound intelligent so end up latching on and improving on the txt/ghetto speech!!

Wow, I like the way you write.
Some of the young kids use so much cursing in their words it is hard to understand what it is they are saying.

Very true the simplification of English was for a noble purpose - to make information avaible to everyone regardless of background or social standing (much like mainland China's reform of there writen language). However like you said the curent issues with language are from people useing and mis-aplying regional/social/racial expressions into the general language without proper context in a atempt to sound cool, show belonging and as a tool to exclude people not aware of current youth culture trends.
