Personally, I find text speak and bad spelling/grammar far more offensive than swearing. If people can't be bothered to give me the respect of communicating clearly, I can't be bothered to listen.
The only thing I would say in response to that is that there is being lazy and there is being Dyslexic...don’t get the two mixed up.

I for one was never tought the rights and wrongs of good or bad spelling and grammar, so I had to muddle my way through School, College and University into my working career picking it up as I went along. Its easy enough to assume that those that cant string a sentence together are lazy, but sometimes they might not had an opportunity to learn or even know that what they have done is wrong.

I understand completely and would never knowingly 'dis' a dyslexic.

Also, I forgot to ask the powers that be if it were possible to provide a spell/grammar checker?

A right little hornets nest I stirred up here  :thumb:

We're all decided that those at fault are to be banned from the forum and have their heads ripped off  :bat:

Or, perhaps in answer to an offending post, we could just insert a link to this topic. They'd get the message!

Do you also wince at incorrect spelling, grammar and the use of text language on this forum?
 :bat:
In my view this points at laziness and a lack of education and intelligence. :thumbd:
Cue the tirade of replies using said language......


in my view your wrong, you do realise theres (theirs?) certain forms of illness - if thats the right word, and because of that some people do get it wrong... i do, iv never claimed to be the greatest speller in the world and dam my grammer sucks, but i certainly wouldnt put it down to intelligence and lack of education - on my part anyway!

text spk on the other hand can be a little annoying, i dont mind abriviated words here and there but if every words like it then i struggle to even read it!

at end of day, text speak i dont like, but you cant paint everybody with the same brush if they spell words wrong.

You will notice in 4311 posts, I've never spelt anything wrong!

I type quite fast, so a lot of the letters get a little jumbled, but i downloaded Google spell check thingy. Every time I'm about to hit post, i hit the spell check button and anything spelt incorrectly gets highlighted in red. It's awesome  :thumb:

So now my secret is out...

As much as possible, use correct spelling and grammar.  Posts consisting entirely of 'txt-speak' will be deleted.

I am closing this thread as it does seem to be causing issues with members, above is the official position from the code of conduct.
