I run a business and we are all over social media, have a website etc etc.
Today we received a really lovely (and I mean truly lovely) testimonial from a customer. Without going into too much detail about who we are or what we do, this testimonial went into great detail about how our 'product/service' had made a measurable difference to their child's development.
It was quite a long testimonial, it was very heartfelt and it made me snivel a tiny bit (soppy cow that I am).
The problem is that the testimonial is 50% 'text speak', to the point that I can hardly decipher it. (think cuz/wat/av/u/fink/wen etc).
We do reproduce testimonials on our website/twitter/Facebook etc and the lady that left the testimonial has been in contact giving us permission to do so (we didn't seek permission though, she just offered it).
I just can't reproduce it faithfully word for word and there isn't even a particular sentence that I can pick out without all of the above text speak in.
Bless her, she is lovely but I just can't have this on our webpage - it's just too awful.
What would you do?
If I correct it all then she would be (quite rightly) very offended I should imagine?
