Using texting talk in posting.

[Weezard]

Yep, guilty here too . . .

Not so guilty.
You know the proper use of ellipses.

I can understanding folks using texting abbreviations when they are texting. I suppose that even some forum board posts are being made from a cell phone. Again, that makes sense to abbreviate. If you've ever tried to used those tiny keyboards, you know what a pain it is to type anything of any length. It's a mistake to equate texting language with lack of education.

That said, I'm sure some folks use that all the time regardless of where they are posting from. I'm like the original poster. If a post is in abbreviated jargon, I don't read it.

Yup, I don't have the time to figure out their timesavers.

I'm old, less flexible, and have less patience for new things as time goes by. I'm sure the younger folks look at dudes like me and think, "who cares what that dinosaur thinks?" They better stay off my dang lawn though . . . :wtf:

But, if da OMG WTF kine D00Ds need ancient knowledge, dey jus' gonna hafta learn "Fogey".
Or pidgin.

If the meaning is clear, it's all good, yah?

Aloha,
