I agree.

And while you're about it, please note: lol is NOT a punctuation mark.

morningpaper · 24/03/2009 20:35

I KNOW lol

FFS are you laughing at YOURSELF? ARE YOU FUCKING INSANE?

beansontoast · 24/03/2009 20:35

where do multiples of punctuation (e.g. ????)fit with your notion of terrible grammar?

scrooged · 24/03/2009 20:36

You should have put a comma after SERIOUSLY.

Thunderduck · 24/03/2009 20:36

MP. Your use of capitals is causing me considerable pain.

psychomum5 · 24/03/2009 20:37

but text speak is surely worse than the 'there/their/they're' debate....???

lol

Heated · 24/03/2009 20:37

Surely they'd be more at home on Bounty?

nickytwotimes · 24/03/2009 20:41

Can't stand txt spk.
Typos are fine - I make these.
There/their.they're is annoying as is loose/lose, but I am generally willing to forgive these.
Poor grammar is the pits.

pointydog · 24/03/2009 20:43

don;t you mean 'grammer'?

Heated · 24/03/2009 20:45

How about if your child can spell grammar school, they're in?
