Texting lingo.

[12sndsgood]

I feel it's like anything else, there is a time and a place for it. People need to learn this, I have found myself trying to go back and start correcting how i type, I was big on just saying u instead of you, and then I would be writing a letter for work and realise I did it 3 or 4 times in a letter so I'm trying to break the habbit. I have a long way to go. LOL.

And that's why you should do it at all.

As part of my job involves proof reading letters to customers, text speak makes me sad.
I've lost count of the amount of times I've sent letters that are going to customers back to the original agent with red pen and highlighter all over it.

"You was calling"? Are you from 'the ghetto'?
Da? Are you Russian?
Ure? Really?

I pretty much just ignore posts that don't use the appropriate capital letters, or that aren't punctuated.

I figure if they don't care about making the minimal extra effort it takes to communicate effectively with the written word, I'll just skip them, and help someone who does make the effort.

I recently outed you for correcting someone with their grammar, and then using improper grammar in your very next post....nuff said If the post is readable, who cares?
