Was the researcher at Cambridge called Cod?

a bunch of the usual suspects droning on about textspeak again. would be so funny if no newbie clicked on this thread at it stays a convo among yourselves.

Also with you, but have a sad feeling it's due to my age!

Twiglett R u Noyed? I think your comments are gr8 got 2 stop it, text speek is blx

Also hate text speak but think its up to other people how they write

I think that while it is up to people to write how they see fit, it is also up to the reader to decide if they can be bothered to read the message.

I can't, at my great age, be bothered to 'translate' a message, unless it was vital.

(realise that my typos cause a problem, but I don't try to do them , if you see what I mean....normaly would write IYSWIM )

at kiskidee .. yes it would

I wish everyone would write their messages on scented tissue-lined Basildon Bond in italic hand-writing with a fountain pen, I don't really like these plain white box things with Times New Roman print on them.

ARF

How do you know the text speak people are 'newbies'? Personally, I text all the time but do not understand some of the lingo (sorry is that to common a word for you to understand?) which my friends use but WHO CARES!!! The point gets across! If the newbies are annoying you so much then piddle(!) off to THE PEOPLES FRIEND website for all the oldies, stuck in their ways. GET A LIFE!!!

arf arf

That was a laugh wasnt it? See you really have to be totally stupid not to understand that?!?
