Essay competition
"if others can understand, then you should be able to, sorry i did not type full and 'proper' english for you last time i looked this was a forum and not an english essay writing competition"
I didn't say I did not understand your take on the english language - but I do confess to having to read such posts about 3 times before I get the full gist of them. Yes, this is a forum - and nowhere does it state it is an essay writing competition - but nowhere does it state that you must post in compressed phonetical pseudo-speak.
I am not the sort of person who gets hung up on grammar or spelling mistakes - but posting as if you were sending a text message has the side effect of making people think you have no command of your native tongue, or to put it more rudely, that you are dumb.
As you say this is a forum - so we're all entitled to our own opinion.
