Re: The O/T thread! spanners wrote: I should just add that my rant isn't just aimed at any one person but, I'm sure the guilty parties can work out who they are........... I suspect its not having grown up with texting John. If you find it difficult to understand things like "It doesnt m@R how U wrte, whoever wntz 2 rED it jst hz 2 bloody decipher it." then what chance has someone the wrong side of 50. I think what is more important is that our non English friends who might use an on line translator to understand things have no chance.

Re: The O/T thread! Joking apart. I do find it quite odd that some people just don't seem to care about making the things they write readily legible. What is the point of posting if you're not actually communicating what you want to say effectively? There again I'm not English so what do I know? And whilst we're ranting, stray apostrophes annoy me

Re: The O/T thread! Somewhere there is a Cambridge study that tested the limit to what we can decipher. Apparently their findings were that as long as the first and last letter were in the correct place you could read pretty much any word. Like fcuk (the company) and so on.
