Has MN turned into NM today????

[hairyprawn]

I am simply referring to a random sample of threads I have come across today.

I think it was a sterling effort pavlov. I would not know where to begin.

Can't we just ask MNHQ to pull all inappropriate thread titles? like Cunt is not not allowed, so txtspk should not be either surely, it is just as bad no?

I was going to start a thread like this t'other day. I've noticed a lot of ck and b**s going on across the boards, amongst all the itchiness and hunning.

Makes me sad :(

Three seconds since I did a :( face

kk so we are no longer allowed to use Cu t? when was this decreed?

X days to my Wedding.
X days to my hen weekend in Brighton.

Well someone posted the plot of Jane Eyre as an AIBU and most people clicked right away, so my faith in MN is whole for now.

The future Mrs Rochester is here not NM.

I offered something on Freecycle the other day. I had a 'phone mustn't forget the apostophe there call that finished it all but also had an e-mail for it before that in textspeak, beginning Hello, Hun. I ignored it. Don't people realise that there are different ways of communicating for different things?

I didn't mean the way we quote punk < like that.

It always turns weird when someone asks again for a like button and a button that lets you copy "quote" the whole post and reply within your reply, I'm not explaining it very well -

here is an example of the quoting I mean

I can't do textspeak, either read it or write it.
It takes me ages to decipher a post on a forum, I'm too old for it.
When I text myself I use proper words.

I had to run away from the 'Can we have a like button' thread because it was as if I'd inadvertently walked into the 'coffee house'

Since when can we not say cunt? I will get cross if I can't say cunt.

Have the swearing police been out then?

she sounded desperate and sad I didn't realise being distressed you had to add full stops to be taking seriously

I meant the mum and daughter thread

omg hun r u ok?????

^^ That was actually physically painful to type.

I can't take text speak, lack of paragraphs or lack / misuse of grammar seriously. I've tried before. Its like my body rejects it.

If cunt goes then MN will literally fall. I love a good bastarding fuck as much of the next person, but cunt is necessary, at times.

Do ya ppl get me hunnies?! Baby dust all round lol lol

"... cunt is necessary, at times."

lol lol lol luv ya hun, xxxxxxx

Please link the Jane Eyre thread, pretty please...

we can say cunt, oliva said cunt this week

cunting sainsbury's was an old thread that was frowned upon, as I recall.

I used to be on an AIBU Books thread until we used up all the books we could possibly think of. Sounds a bit like the Jane Eyre one. It was brilliant, I loved it [nostalgic]

I loved the "cunting sainsbury's" thread! Was aghast at people whinging about the title.

Can't be doing with txtspk - Pavlov, your example was excellent, took me at least 3 goes to work out wtf you were trying to say!

While perfect grammar is not a pre-requisite, breaking sentences up into readable chunks, using commas and full stops, does rather help with intelligibility. And paragraphs increase the number of people who will bother to read a long post. Soooo - it's up to the poster really - if they want to maximise their chances of decent advice/ response, then effective communication will help (including basic punctuation, whole words and paragraphs).

Olivia said cunt?
