Lost and happy geek!
.....does anyone know the treatment or cure?
I am noticing more and more posts in text speak and not only does it really irritate me, it means that the members of this worldwide forum for whom English is not their first language must find it very hard work making sense of them.
I know that people younger than myself (and there are many!) use text speak in most communication but please can you not do it here? I find it hard to read with English as my first language, we have members here from Denmark, Greece, Sweden, France, Germany and Italy that I can think of. Those members post in the most fantastic English for all our benefit, please can we return the compliment to them?
This seems to be a recurring condition, so can we manage this latest outbreak?
