2 b'in told tht im nt allwed 2 use txt spk on this site??

[HailStorm]

Im sori I dnt actually speak like that but being a student and a normal 24yr old who admittitly is addicted to her Phone i do lapse and more often than not revert to forgetting to add a letter to make my words complete. I do not deem this as lazy nor ignorant and i dnt feel that my abbreviations are that different from using DS, DH and FIL on here. I have been told that to use such 'txt spk' or to not write my words completley i will be hated on mumsnet. So am i being unreasonable if i forget my stupid letters?? Think bloody not! Ps, am crap at spelling, does mean im thick though does it

I would say being crap at spelling ( dyslexia aside) DOES make you thick tbh. Now typing is another issue..

And since when do you get an 'A' at uni?!

when you can call it "UNIVERSITY"

Isn't there speculation that what Einstein had was aspergers?

'Oh n if we are going to start judging books by there covers id say ur name suggests ur a hooker, a dirty one at that'

Ooh that's fighting talk!!

"Ps, am crap at spelling, does mean im thick though does it"

OP said herself it makes her thick. I assume she meant DOESN'T mean I'm thick.

At least I didn't capitalise it

But your not capable of atriculate writing, or good grammar, or even good basic English. Your proving that to us right now with your posts

I hate that "i am just me; like it or lumnp it" attitude.
Very thatcher

Roffle@this thread

I am baffled.

Clearly, HailStorm is a gifted individual with he 80 per cent plus marks 'n' all....clearly, she is able to communicate in accurate, easy to read English (otherwise she would not get high marks).

She sees that it is normal to adjust one's writing style for the readership.

But she doesn't apply that to mumsnet.

Instead we get mis-spelled maunderings on Einstain (sic).....

What could be going on?

I think the Looney Lounge huns are back.

Hecates
he was very late to speak so possibly verbal dyspraxia and speculation now is that he had aspergers.

thank you all for cheering me up no end!

It's lovely when we can bring two generations together and share the love isn't it?

Me, I'm of the "older variety". Text speak hurts my head so I don't use it and I try to avoid reading it. I'm sure you've got some really smashing points to make OP, but they will probably go over my head.

I agree with VT. How are you convincing people that you're not thick if you:

• can't type
• can't spell
• have no grasp of grammar.

And yet get "A's" at your uni course. Your MS Word must be about to melt down with all the corrections it has to make.

Clever girl i missed the n and t to make a point

I'm off theres nowt worse than a troll whos trying to be funny when they are not

very poor effort

I'm not sure which is worse text speak or 'hunni'.

I do think you're an idiot
See how I missed off the n't?
Clever, innit

• I use staroffice :P

"Clever girl i missed the n and t to make a point"

What point were you trying to make exactly?

Eh? "OP said herself it makes her thick". Aren't you the OP? And cordonbleugh, you can't be a very good friend if you don't warn HailStorm off posting such a thing in AIBU. She's BOUND to get flamed

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

'Clever girl i missed the n and t to make a point '

Oh I think that has made my day
