Dear Newbies ... If you could possibly stop typing in text speak and bringing down the tone of the neighbourhood

[Twiglett]

we'd appreciate it

thank you

oh and by the way ... should have, could have, would have (not of)

I dont mean to get into a massive row here, but I dont think you can really have a go at newbies (or anyone else for that matter) for their use of text speak when MumsNet as a whole is so absolutely bursting with acronyms.

The whole premise of text speak to shortening of words and use of acronyms... how is this any worse than your regular use of such increasinly long and ridiculous acronyms as DC, DH, DP, BFP, DSS1, STBXW etc?

You might have a point slappy... if this thread wasn't 6 years old
