To think those that type indechiperably through - Laziness!? - Should be just as vilified as those that do txt speak

[TheDevilWearsPrimark]

Message after message full of typos where you have to stop and try to decipher it.

Plus all this 'tis, twas'. Oh It annoys me.

i sometimes type on my iphone,thats when my typos creep in

but on the whole,i'd say no. dont think someone should be vilified for it

Just as much as those who cannot spell!

Indecipherably

I don't mean the odd typo - just the once who consistently type in an almost incoherent way.

Maybe they are druk

or spell 'drunk'

(haha etc)

or perhaps they have dyslexia?

Text speak is deliberate, mis-spelt words tend to be accidental, as you have just proven.

YABU.

My dh can't spell to save his life.
He is dyslexic though - hope you don't vilify him for it though

I don't villify people who use text speak although I confess I mostly ignore them.

I don't villify people who make typos as I do often, I may be in a hurry or I may just spell poorly but I don't think they are often hard to read. I don't tend to pick up on posting style as it is a bit snotty IMHO.
I also use tis sometimes. So bite me.

There are worse offences.
I can forgive most things in most threads except picking on minorities, when I think about it. And crap babies names.

I caught the 'tis and 'twas bug from Mumsnet. I like it. As for laziness - YABU. Many of the typos are because of toddlers on laps or because we are in a rush.

I type like that frequently whilst multitasking.

btw TDWP - how are you ?
I thought( from the little I could see)that you and I were having equally shitty weeks last week... hope a better one this week.

Indeed Pag - I'm heading over to SN in a mo.

Hope you are having a better week?

well it might be mildly annoying sometimes if a post is really hard to understand but I wouldn't vilify anyone for it

so YABU

My typing goes to shit whilst tyoing in a hurry. I think my posts are perfectly readable albeit spelled terribly so don't care tbh.

However if I put an apostrophe in a wring place or my grammar is all wrong I usually post to apologise or am paranouid the pedant harpies will point it out and think I am thick.

If you mean the usual suspect crap typist i think most people can work out what she is saying.

Agree with the OP: slovenly typing/spelling/grammar on MN is in the same league as going to Tesco in pyjamas, in my book. This is a public forum. Please adhere to publicly acceptable forms of behaviour

well I have just sent grumpy "sort this out" style email about DS2 to about 20 people so either things will improve or I will be villified

oh i dont care
dont like it dont read it
twas ever htus

I think there is a big difference between the odd typo (I am a horrible typist) and posts which are made difficult to comprehend due to abysmally shoddy typing/spelling. I think that some consider it to be a "style" - I just skip over the post.

god is there an elephant in the room?

Yup. tis a big elephant that twas forever being villified by the pescatarian brigade.

Today I have been v embarrassed (are we allowed to use "V"? ) as I read through earlier posts and they were shockingly mistyped. I thought I'd checked my spelling/grammar, but obv (oops!) not.

I used to hate Tis and Twas but have found myself using them both.

In my defence this laptop is on it's way out.

WHO could you mean
i mean WHO types badly on this site?
i cant think of anyone and oyu obviosly cant
or maybe youd just name them?

Never mind Joan.

There was me thinking your madcap tyoing was due to nonconformist nature and now find out that you are actually doing it out of laziness.

Who knew?

hahahaha, who's rattled your cage, tdwp?

lazy.
that is me.
i am continually amazed by the level of interest some posters have in me.
its most flattering.

well just don't read it I would say

besides, you can't make that point and then have your own post full of typos. Makes me feel like uttering the word victimisation.
