Very busy forums allow for the vernacular because most of the people who read it talk that way and the choice is theirs to write any way they like.

The majority of them frown on text style printing and ammend it automatically because they have found that in time everybody is struggling to read codes, shortcuts and downright gobblygook. Yes Dorian it does matter.

That is what I meant. You wouldn't put u for you in a letter so why put it in a post for all to understand Before we know it we will be saying color instead of colour like the night shift across the pond

I knew that you meant the text messaging style, Bubbly. That was very clear in your initial post. And I agree, it is difficult to follow. That wasn't what my comment was about.

As far as vernacular goes, whats good for the gander is good for the goose :lol: You write colour... I write color. :wink:

PS..I don't think its contagious.

i never realised my still of typing would upset so many people. i also never realised making words shorter where frowned upon. does this mean things like"lol and "btw" are also frowned upon. just incase i upset anyone else.

If someone pronounced my name wand without the d id punch them in the groin, my name is pronounced chwan, with the ch noise coming from the back of the throat. An argentinian typing horse knows how to pronounce his own name.

If the pc brigade is unhappy with the way people type or 'netiquette', then they are very sad.

Bubbly, dont feel threatened, you probably are still first, cos ive got a long way to go before i write as many informative posts as you have.

and lightning u r very handsome, look at those lovely cheekbones

He might be banned but I think the horse IS the most valuable. We could sell him to the glue factory at a small profit, but only after we sell all the metal from his teeth to the scrappy.


you boys were busy last night eh?
