Like it says, please type in proper english.

Txt spk is annoying and is not helpful for anyone searching the forum at a later date.

If you can't be bothered to type full words out then please don't bother posting.

sorry mate

Waddage points awarded to Bubba.  I absolutely abhor text speak, I just feel it shows a lack of respect for the reader; forcing them decrypt the bloody stuff to compensate for the author's laziness.  Though I realise that I am perhaps a little oversensitive when it comes to matters of spelling and semantics.   A job that largely comprises reading and writing chemistry patent specifications does that to a man, maybe I should just retire to Daily Mail Island....

I've banned myself from posting on UKC. It's full of utter cunts.

Hey Bubba, I hate txt speek. One thing though, will I get my wrists slapped (or negative kama) if I use old fashioned abbreviations ie -ve , btw, etc...

It's just I have gained a few abbreviations whilst writing notes at Uni and I can't quite shake them (or sometimes can't spell the long word  )

I've already gained -ve karma from my hubby when he thought I was dissing him

I stopped even looking at it about 2 years ago.

Some is fine, it's just when you get whole messages in it it can drive you mad. Not really much of a problem here but has been on the gaming forum i run.

[GCW]

How do you have the time to run UKB, UKCaving, gaming stuf etc????  I barely have time to sit on UKB all day

[Bubba]

The gaming forum is small and runs itself and ukb doesn't need a lot of time everyday. ukcaving.com is the most time consuming because i have to do quite a lot of moderation and user issues.

Bubba. What are you doing caving? I thought we just bouldered because we didn't want to get scared. I used to like Malham until they started cave diving under it. The mad fuckers gave me the willies!

[Bubba]

Well I don't really boulder or cave at the moment - i'm not really the right shape for either these days
