i understand the need to shorten words to save space on a text, and the use of emoticons and abreviations etc, but ma and my are the same length, as are a few other things you have written... why?
i have to say that i asked a few people what their first impression was of someone who uses text speak in other places - and i am afraid the general consensus was that they imagined the person to be either about 13 or a bit thick....

I was born in Scotland too and live by London now .John was just being friendly - what gave you away was the phrase ' your Dad has enough to think about the now' THE NOW is a phrase used by Scots, just as if you had said ' now, in a minute' we might have concluded you were Irish, that's all honey! Do a rota or give evryone a set task to do so that if it isnae done everyone knows who was responsible.
I think you were being asked where you were from because you write phonetically - I thought Ireland myself at first, but was obviously wrong!
Definitely all adults you're living with, let them sort themselves out. Problem is where is the cash coming from for food and basics? Then you might need to all get together if you're not the main bread-winner.

Glitzy please don't take this as me having a go at you. It's just a straighforward explanation that comes across the right way in speech but not in text. I mean you no ill-feeling.
The vast majority of ABers are not of your generation and although it is the norm to use text speak to communicate with your own generation, it is generally considered somewhat disrespectful and unacceptable to use it as a general means of communication. That's one reason people keep on commenting on your posts. The other reason is that despite being asked not to do it, especially when people say they don't understand what you are saying, you acknowledge their comments then continue to do it anyway! That will rattle cages without any doubt.
There are times and places when text speak is appropriate. I use it myself when texting and sending instant messages. But AB in my (and countless others) opinion isn't one of them. There are some people who are not bothered too much by it but there are many, many more that find it hugely irritating. It is a fact that you will always get comments from people while you still use text speak on AB. If you want to continue to use it then you must be prepared to accept that will happen. If the comments upset you then you must be willing to write your posts in full. It will never work both ways I'm afraid.

Apologies glitzy. I was under the impression that it had been used again on other posts. That'll teach me for reading random Qs and not looking at the date/time etc. Anyway, you've done right hon. Happy ABing! Have you been issued your bullet proof vest yet? It's standard issue to keep you safe, particularly when you venture into B&S. It should have been in the post to you as soon as you registered on here along with a warning that if you stray into certain threads without it, it's at your own risk. Lol ;-p
