I agree with you mate,but I'm starting to think that people think this is a normal way to post.

[Grumpy Old Fart]

again I agree. There's no need for text speak on forums as you have plenty of time to write your reply and you haven't got limited digits when posting.

Unfortunately there is no way to stop people using it and it's just an annoyance we have to put up with

Another person agreeing with you here. I hate short-hand.

[Real Maximo]

it's a lazy mans way!

[morphec]

Yeah i suppose your right, aw well we'll just have to put up with these people or hit them with very large stick's that go through pc monitors

[Gee]

Last thing we need is these forums ending up looking like xbox.com forums

[Grumpy Old Fart]

I don't mind abbreviations for games, for example Rainbow Six: Lock Down as RS:LD. It's when see things like b4 instead of before that bugs me.

[morphec]

Yeah it's just pointless on forum's you can take an hour to type up 1 post but aslong as it look's good your sorted!

[Dawn]

wot r u on about - its reel cool 2 type this way.

I am of course being sarcastic.

[morphec]

I don't even mind the suttle way's of doing it, if they were to say hey how r you every now and again but just not over the top txt it just blow's!

[Adrenaline]

I seriously believe, most people that type that way talk that way in person??

[Iron Orta]

Nah it probably people that are just lazy!!! like me, i dont mined it to a certain extent but when u need to decode it thats when its gone a bit 2 far.

|-|3y j00 |\|008$, dis is da reel kl tlk innit lyk bruv? lol rofl lmao wtf bbq omg

Yes, I hate people speaking Idiot-Language. I used to speak like that over MSN, but after about 2 hours of typing normally, I got used to it. It takes me longer 2 tytp lyk dis lol - than it does to type normally.

[morphec]

lol same, i alway's used to type like that but now im just to used to typing like this

[bennyboo03]

ok ill stop or should i say I'll stop.

[MH_prophet]

Shorthand to me is okay, (i haven't had much of a problem with any of your posts benny), but when it looks like they went out of the way just to make their post that way, it's too much.

I find that too.

One one board (which has now closed - kor might remember it), I was actually criticised for typing normally and not in shorthand. For some reason, they thought that typing normally was really posh, and as a result they would make comments on it in school and talk in posh accents to me. Which I found funny, considering some of them aren't what you would call 'cool' in any way.
