AIBU?

To wonder why so many people are putting kisses at the end of their posts.

I've noticed it too lately and assumed it was something to do with Facebook...where it seems more acceptable.

It doesn't bother me and I'd never mention it on a thread

I do however silently think it makes them come across as a bit of a sap Blush

The guidelines do actually suggest you avoid textspeak.

I (pleasantly, I hope) pulled someone new up on kissiness this week. It's the thin end of the wedge...

Mmmmmm.......maybe because the rules don't state you have to write in 'proper english' with technically correct spelling,grammar,sentence construction etc..... :-D

Anyway,they look perfectly normal next to the LTB/YANBU/DC/DH/DP/OW and :-D , :-) , :-o .......

Definitely a good thing if it's silenced the nest of vipers! Lol!

Actually....wait,no! I've just posted....prepare yourself for their return! Lmao!

I do it if I mean it - if people on a thread have been particularly kind to me and I have warm fuzzy feelings towards them then I express them with a 'x'. That's not so bad. I have just noticed people putting them in randomly, like on a thread title. They must have that lovin' feeling Grin

Lol and x is punctuation for people under 20.

I never call anyone huns though, unless I'm referring to their campaign against the Eastern Roman Empire.

Some people think a kiss or a lol is the same as a full stop lol xx

Buzzardbird · 23/09/2013 11:00

Should that be a full stop at the end of your post noisy? Grin

The youngsters do it. They may be a nicer group than us older ones imo.

I've noticed the x's too. They seem to go nicely with the posts written in text speak or littered with bad spelling, punctuation and grammar
