Text speak

[johnlambert]

can we have something to filter this out please?

[bigmamma]

Lol I thought we had been invaded by aliens , I know AB is popular but ......:-)

[Goodsoulette]

no probs, I was smiling whilst I choked, bizarrely.

[Kidd72]

smooth...., txt speak is ok in parts but in my case it got to the point where people were phoning me up asking 'what the h... is this txt supposed to mean?' which kind of defeated the purpose

[LoftyLottie]

Shorthand is nothing like text speak. Shorthand is fast, very fast and has a purpose. Please leave text speak for mobile phones. People will either ignore your questions or won't take them seriously if you use text speak on here - so please join in and use normal language and become one of the AB crowd.

im glad this point has been raised as i find myself losing night after night of sleep worrying about it

it is laziness - in the sense that you cannot be bothered to write in a manner that is easy for all to understand.

you have said you can ''right'' (!!) so why do you choose to sound like a dimwit?

it may be quicker for YOU to write ( though i suspect the difference in negligable) but it takes everyone else longer to read!!

woteva i honestly dont care at dis point of tym okay so just drop it ive apologised countless of tyms yet u choose to ignore dat nd tbh (that means To Be Honest btw oh nd dat means By The Way to those DIMWITS out there) okay i dont see why ur givin me such a hard tym over it all

[joko]

because YOU ARE STILL DOING IT!!

you really are dumb!

[glitzybabe]

i really am not dumb and i would prove it to you if i knew how to prove it....and the way you write doesnt determine if your dumb or not for all i know you could be the dumb one and you just go round looking for others to take your pain out on?!?

and also i only did that last night because i had just had a bad time okay so sorry but i don't see why you get sooo wound up about it all but it gives me and my mates a laugh thanks i needed a laugh an all love yas X*X*mwah*X*X

[bednobs]

it is just disrespectful to other people, that's why people rant about it .... you expect people to put thought and time into answering your question, yet you yourself cannot put the thought and time into phrasing it so that it easy to read and understand for the majority of people likely to be reading it. Therfore instead of getting loads of ideas about your dilemma, you get loads of posts saying "i can't understand" and the like, which isn't helpful to you or the question answerers

[glitzybabe]

yeah but i wrote the question before i realised people on here don't understand it, and i have apologised and as you can see i am writing properly now

[johnlambert]

[johnlambert]

You a "wee free"?

[glitzybabe]

whats a wee free?

[johnlambert]

Free Presbytarian,
popular in the highlands and islands, I had a friend in Edinburgh who was one and described them as the "taliban", she said it was because when she went to the church the Minister was preaching al the bad things that would happen if you didnt comply to the very strict rules, apparently everyone was going to burn in hell, even the regular church goers. She eventually came with us to the Church of Scotland

[glitzybabe]

fair enough, erm i don't know what type of church its labelled as its not a free church or church of scotland, its called the new wine church - www.newwinechurch.com i think thats the website but its pretty much talking about the gift of the spirit with people speaking in tongues ect

[johnlambert]

I've never heard of them, just googled it and got this is that the one?
do you speak in tongues?
