So historically this has always been a bad thing, Right?

AIBU to believe that I am not imaging the fact that it feels like this has been happening?

or have we just got goady fuckers playing bingo?

Yes I've noticed this on the pregnancy board! It's all "lol", "hun", "xxx" at the end of posts. urgh.

Maybe the pregnancy board has always been like that though, I only go there when pregnant!

I can't see 'hun' without feeling like I'm in a WWI period drama.

It's like this on the pregnancy boards and in some of the antenatal clubs.

I don't really like it either, but they mean well so I tolerate it :)

Yes. Some people might be coming on here who are poor and not highly educated. How dreadful. Don't they know this is a board where their betters discuss what is good for them? Somebody ought to tell them it's not appropriate for them to join in. Or by this time next week our children will all be drinking Froot Shoots!

The difference between the msg boards and inbox is quite funny. Inbox is lovely dovey with , lol, hun xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I quite like that the boards aren't all xxx but a good lol is very good. I like lols in places of fullstops.

Thanks

I actually saw AnyFucker end a post with x

I was and nearly called troll.

I've noticed too that people quote " " instead of bolding which annoys me.

The Pregnancy board is full of Huns. Terribly upsetting.

Maybe pregnancy turns us into huns? They will all resume normality once they've popped.

How patronising Kanye - there are plenty of people on mumsnet who are not very well off or who don't have a raft of sparkling qualifications, who don't 'hun'.

I just find it very insincere and would rather it didn't creep into mumsnet.

God...I was having a discussion with someone over something and they kept quoting my WHOLE fucking message every time they replied. There is a reason we don't have that automatic "replying to a message and quoting the message shit" they have on other boards. It's because it's annoying and takes up precious internet space. Why would you do it manually?!!

Thanks

I used to do the "" instead of bolding Nulla, as bolding doesn't show up on the MN app- which it makes it hard for anyone using it to follow the debate.

The app is kaput at the mo tho, so no need to use it any more.

I have noticed hubby creeping in too.

Some people might be coming on here who are poor and not highly educated. So, are you implying that the hunners are all poor and thick? Wow!

Thanks

I'm poor as they come, in receipt of all the benefits a single parent is entitled to, haven't any education beyond college, and live in one of the most deprived areas of the country. Please feel free to assume my spelling, grammar and ability to construct a decent sentence is going to be restricted by those things if it makes you feel better.
