Dear certain new posters, please STOP using 'lil', 'hugz', 'hon' / 'hun', 'bless', or any form of text speak. It is not welcome here. Thank you.

[Rhinestone]

I am getting seriously fed up.

I dislike pmsl, personally.

are we allowed to use WTF?

aww bless, lol

((((((hugz you lil hunny))))))

I don't like lol either.

I wish I could click like to the op

Must agree with the whole thing

Fucking fuck off squeaky and when you get there fuck off some more.

Please don't banhammer WTF or STFU.

They are brilliant. :(

I dislike it too.

I think about 50% of it may be intended to be in good humour, but it has stopped being funny.

What are you Mumsnet police?

how rude!

get over yourself.

no

I think WTF is fine as it contains 'fuck' which is an excellent Anglo-Saxon word.

It's the new, ignorant text speak that I object to and the posters who insist on using it.

See I'd take your point OP if the majority of posters didn't use 'Dh, DD, DS, BF, FF' and all that jazz.

To me, it's just as lazy as text talk

didn't we do this thread this morning? i must see this is an awfully friendly,welcoming place!

Yabu. mumsnet is not a select group. let them write how they like.

agree with worra

These kinds of threads are getting old now. Yawn.

YANBU Thank you OP. I would like to add 'lol' and 'pmsl'

STFU is going to become an essential methinks

There are around 2 million Mumsnet users if I remember correctly.
It's not a super exclusive club for clever snarky people only you know.

YABU, obviously.

Rhinestone, that kind of talk annoys me too but I accept that there are different people on here and they might want to use it. Why should everyone talk the way you want them to?

this is my point

OP It's threads like yours that create a platform for the very thing you are trying to avoid OP....with your obvious disgust you may have inadvertently created a monster....

The very fact that this kind of text speak annoys you means that the "eejits" will continue to get a rise out of you/us....

I would like to ask for snobbery to be banned. Thank you.
