I have noticed over recent weeks that a new language is creeping into posts.
It's not text talk or even abbreviations, it seems more like completely made up words.
I have to read, reread and read again to try and get a sense of what the poster is trying to impart, but I am sure a lot of my fellow geeks don't have this determination or patience, therefore they will just ignore it and move on.
That is not good for anyone
Sadly people are still abbreviating words like you and your to u and ur and r instead of are which also, like this made up language is off putting, and dare I say it rude!
This is a Global site English is the language used, therefore it should be used properly to make sure all our members especially those for whom English is a second or even third language can understand and join in the discussion.
I don't expect everyone to use perfect grammar or punctuation but please stop making up words for the sake of it!
(I think I worked out that cud is not actually what cows chew it is someone's idea of the word could!
Wud is would
Shud is should
Guna is actually a triple whammy of laziness here because its a shorter version of gonna which is of course meant to be going to ! )
