Using texting talk in posting.

[emilya]

Folks, I am old, almost as old as dirt. I text, but I still spell out my words. I find trying to read 'texting english' extremely difficult and essentially when I see it I don't bother reading the post. I figure if someone is too lazy to type the word, or learn to spell, I am too lazy to read the post.

I would assume some of the other older members would be the same. I do realize old dogs need to learn new tricks....and I do often, but to read out a post in jargon is something I do not wish to do.

Food for thought, I would appreciate it, I don't know about others. Have an awesome day.:thumbsup:

I'm right there with you WW. I might not be old, but I also try to spell correctly and I try very hard to use proper punctuation. When I see someone breaking these rules, I may still read the post but I can't help judging the author just a little bit as I ponder whether I should respond to their message. It is hard to take someone seriously who doesn't care how they look.
