Thank God it's not just me.......maybe I should start a new thread for this but AIBU by choosing people who spell and punctuate their emails correctly when responding to Freecycle ads that I've put on? Even if they're not first to reply?

It is hard to read and feels like you're talking to a twelve year old. Hate it in texts too can never understand them

wannaBe · 24/09/2007 18:54

I hate it. I also think it must be harder to write, but then I touch type so guess if you're typing with two fingers maybe not?

But am afraid to say that text speak doesn't make one come across as hugely inteligent/elequant. Imo anyway.

mimi03 · 24/09/2007 18:59

omg wannabe! what a thing to say!! i dont want to say it but snob! im signing out! cant believe im talking to u!
