Is it just me? Is anyone else annoyed by the prevalence of IM style writing? U no, rittin lik this. I don’t see why I should deal with someone who can’t be bothered to at least approximate correct English. There are several posters who are on my Ignore list due to their unreadable text. What do people think about this?
It can be annoying but you have to deal with it. What do you do if you have to talk to a customer service representative that’s from a non-english speaking country? Do you ignore them because they are a bit hard to understand?
I think it takes a great deal of imagination to rewrite the language. I am in school to be an english teacher. I see this as being a problem in the future. Teach by example. Send them messages back that the Queen would be proud of!
Mortac, are you intentionally misrepresenting my point or do you just not get it? Almost all of the non-native English speakers here are fine. Pepl wrtin lk this r da problaem.
No I’m not intentionally doing anything. Sure it’s hard to read sometimes but so what?
I agree with Juggler. It frustrates me when people write like that. If they want to share and receive information on this site (or another other) then they should at least make an effort to communicate clearly.
Geez, if you dont like how somebody writes then dont read it, whats the big deal.
You dont have to read it if you dont like how they write.
Yea I think I’m going to stop listening to X-Man and Churandy Martina because their grammar isn’t good enough for me.
Are you talking about utfootball? His posts’ grammar may not be great but he’s a sharp guy. I’m sure you could learn something from him if you read closely.
Mortac, again you mischaracterize my point. But you’re just going to do that, so never mind.
As far as utfootball, yes he is the worst culprit.
But it’s clear that almost no one cares at all so I won’t mention it again.
ahrr, cmon mate, u go2 b likn it ey
