The conception boards are getting stacked to the rafters with this shite

The conception boards are gentler, they stop using it quite quickly in AIBU Wink.

I just think some of these posters should lurk before posting as much as possible to get a feel of the place.

Ly xxx

YANBU hun xx

LordNibbler · 04/10/2019 20:32

We don't need xx, or lol, or ur, or u. And this is because we are grown ups who can hopefully construct sentences as such. This is not facebook or whatsapp. And yes, I do silently judge all those people who use such language.

T1gerEye · 04/10/2019 20:33

Christ just let people BE. Who cares? These stupid threads just clutter up the boards and the same tired 'jokes' are trotted out.

As long as you yourself ensures you are holding up standards at all times, just let other folk crack on Hmm

MissDemelzaCarne · 04/10/2019 20:35

Your thread, your rulz hun.

RancidOldHag · 04/10/2019 20:36

It's basic consideration.

We have posters who useistive technology, who are dyslexic or whondo not have English as a flint language. It is much easier for those wupith barriers when standard English is used. The who can, should use it

stickeritup · 04/10/2019 20:36

I fucking hate 'lol' with every fibre of my soul.

My friend, who I do adore, uses it bloody constantly.

'Having a bag of crisps for lunch lol'

'I need to clean the house before I go out lol'

Christ it winds me up so much. I started a thread about it in AIBU once but got ripped to shreds lol

dinomonkey · 04/10/2019 20:36

@T1gerEye I kind of agree but I also find it irritating

OP posts:
Fi1982 · 04/10/2019 20:37

Hear hear T1gerEye WTF is up with this spiteful shite? Just leave people be to seek advice and look for support in a welcoming environment, instead of sticking the boot in.

dinomonkey · 04/10/2019 20:37

The lol thing is like a fucking verbal tick.

OP posts:
Fi1982 · 04/10/2019 20:38

Pot Kettle RancidOldHag it’s easier to understand LOL and xx than your poorly spelt post.

NoSauce · 04/10/2019 20:40

Hold on to your hat OP. You’ll soon be lectured on your way of thinking.

sanityisamyth · 04/10/2019 20:41

I get irritated with people writing "tia" on the end of FB recommendation posts. TIA (as capitals) wouldn't be half as annoying, but can people seriously not be arsed to write "thanks" in full now?!

Lolling, not killing

OP posts:
T1gerEye · 04/10/2019 20:42

There's no lecturing. But I'm going to assume that most of you are here to have fun, pass time and receive and offer advice, yes? And I'll assume that you're not here to be bitchy, unwelcoming and getting your knickers in a twist because some other poster has the fucking temerity to pop a kiss at the end of her post.

Just don't engage with those posters who you feel are beneath you with their stupid lolling

juicyjuicymangoes · 04/10/2019 20:43

YANBU

It drives me mad

Conception boards are a breeding ground for huns
