If we can get enough people to agree we may be able to get the kind people at SR to discourage the use of "txt msg" abbreviations etc.
What do you think ?

Glad to see most of you agree, peoples bad spelling is bad enough without all this txt msg malarky !
(I think it's time I started writing my posts in Wordpad and spell checking them first)

Great idea - consider this my signature.

I can understand txt msging on mobiles - awkward keyboard, limited number of characters etc. - but there's no need for it on forums. You have a full keyboard - use the damn thing.

In fact I have a clause in the rules on my forum politely requesting that people don't use it - and they face banning if they use it frequently!

Worth a try. I find it annoying to read. Its ok for what its used for i.e. mobile phones and in chat rooms or MSN. But on a forum then I cant see the point, its not that hard to string together a sentence with out putting a ton of txt talk to shorten the amount of keys that need to be pressed.
