I genuinely cannot read text speak. Is it really so hard to write "have" instead of "av" ?

StayingDavidTennantsGirl · 23/03/2010 16:34

Is it ok to say that text speak is really difficult to read, and that the odd paragraph makes life easier too?

Morloth - clary sage oil is supposed to bring on labour - in the bath (with a bit of bubble bath) or in an oil burner.

Tis to get the marker to work. Is it a stingy Irish thing to lick the tip of the marker to get it to work for a bit longer?

Anyway spitting worked and my fanjo has now been tango'd so where's the nearest council estate to holyhead? I assume I can just walk right in to my new house now?

Morloth · 23/03/2010 16:35

I don't mind if someone uses textspeak, but I don't usually bother to read/decipher it either. Is too hard, am probably not alone in this.

Same for when people don't use paragraphs.

The AK47 is the best gun on Modern Warfare 2.

Well Milly I beg to differ.

As a top player, I normally use the ACR - remember you have to be a level 48 to unlock it.

I would say ACR,TAR-21, M16A4, SCAR-H in that order. Once you get the TAR-21 get it upgraded with red dot sight and you're good to go until you get to higher ranks of 40 plus.

AF was that necessary?

I was just stating my opinion.

I am sorry I'm not a sheep who joins in ripping the piss.

That was sarcasm in case you're not sure.

catinthehat2 · 23/03/2010 16:42

Have a SCAR-H Gibbon, I find it helps at times like this.

MillyR · 23/03/2010 16:43

I bow down to your superior knowledge Cat. I am basing my choice on the recommendation of a child. That should take some heat off the OP, as people can now start flaming me instead.

Doodleydoo · 23/03/2010 16:44

There needs to be a crying emoticon - I don't understand WhoIsAskings post at all and am feeling panicky.

Can't type text speak quickly either so am buggered, (let alone read it.........my very much older dsis uses it and I have to pretend that I never got the text)

OK OK Its true the AK-47 has a very good stopping power and rate of fire and the ACR has almost no recoil and great range even with silencers. I find (and I suspect yr child does too)the key to using them effectively is small bursts and hip fire.

AnyFucker · 23/03/2010 16:46

< shrugs > @ gibbon

I am not a sheep, I am a fluffy lamb

and if you are happy for such idiocy as the OP to go un-commented-upon, then don't comment

GibbonInARibbon · 23/03/2010 16:48

You know AF today is about my worst day ever and I wanted to thank you for reminding me that MN is not the place to be on such days.

Stepping away now, have fun all.

porcamiseria · 23/03/2010 16:48

I dont use text speak either! Its just sounds SO POMPOUS and snobby when people post on here for the first time and someone inevitably says "we dont use text speak here"

anyway...............
