The rules are actually fairly simple and no text talk is one of them. This isn't The Times newspaper, a lot of people who post on here haven't had a lot of schooling so we dont police spelling and language excessively although we do pull posts which are unreadable. I'm not going to enter into any more debate about text talk, life is too short. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Boom 0 Posted February 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 (edited) i have not long been in after a nice walk with the dog and came home to a message about (text talk) and next time if i REoffend my membership on this forum will be removed ????... i never realized such a thing could couse a stir and i was asking a general question i have a reply fair does.. but may i say the most common "text talk" is LOL and i have just seen YOU (Nightwalker) use it ??????? may i also add that most adults in this day and age use "text talk" no one should be judged by the way thay type.. allso i think you will find out its not "text talking" its INTERNET SLANG... and if lifes to short then using internet slang speeds up the typing progress there for giving you more time to enjoy life Edited February 23, 2007 by Boom Quote Link to post Share on other sites
