to not want Mumsnet to become a forum where people sign off with a x?

[Mintyy]

and/or use textspeak/hun/lil' man/b**tch etc and no paragraphs and no discernible grammar?

OR

am I a terrible old curmudgeon and change is inevitable and in the end the huns will take over the asylum?

sorry hun

x

I just can't see it happening tbh

Especially not with the reactions if anyone does dare do any of the above! I think in order for it to happen we'd have to be invaded by more hunners than there are MNers.

it's a bad habit I have got into x

sorry x

NB it is a 'x' I am not committing genocide x

I think it is annoying.

I wanted to go on that thread and say 'you are allowed to say BITCH ffs, we are all adults around here'

I agree with you minty. Text speak and hunning and 'would of' get right on my tits.

YABU

Its an informal chat forum, does it really matter if all the I's are dotted and T's crossed?

x x x

Mate I do forget and do a x at the end sometimes.

I shall NEVER get over visceral hate of txtspk, lil man, bockle etc, yeuch.

Grammar, well I try to ignore, cos not everyone is edumacated like me.

I agree.

( runs )

two second til my next x hun

I knew it would be you Mintyy

I don't care. hth

You are being unreasonable to start threads when you owe me an update.

And I'm going to stalk you round mumsnet going like this

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I would hate it if Mumsnet became one of those forums where everyone has a huge signature at the bottom of every post they make that has a counter for how old each of their children is/how far along they are in pregnancy.

I really don't care that your 'little angel number 1' is 4 years, three months, 2 days and 1 hour old.

I think

You are being a being a cunt hun. Lol x

definitely works

I think a bit of variety is fine. If you are not that kind of poster then don't post like that. xxx

Sorry forgot.

x

You are being a being a cunt hun. Lol x

oh you are all terrible cunts, but ya know what I mean!

I agree with pagwatch

x

I saw someone write 'fupping' on a thread yesterday. They had capitalised it and were using it in place of the word 'fucking'.

I had to hide the thread. It made me feel sick.

Pagwatch it's c**nt ya naughty hun x

Don't like this Hun business. But I'm really guilty of not using paragraphs. It saves space.

Pagwatch

Grin - "bockle"? Really? People really say that? How horrendous

I think we need to make a stand.

Next time I see a thread where someone says b1tch or something I am going to pile on and say 'you can swear on mumsnet, you pious motherfucker' or similar.

It is not really me at all, but I do do it for those that use it themselves, especially if they seem young and vulnerable.
I tend to adapt myself quickly to the situation I am in.
I always think I would become institutionalised very quickly, but would adapt once again if released!

So yep,if it spreads on here I am in! x
