What's with all this

'im nt goin to us pnctuatin or vwls no mttr how lng the sentans is becas i think im txt messagin sm ppl nevr mnd what my spellng is like coz mybe i like sounding lik im dim and youz cn all sd off if you dont lke it by the wy can i by your dm5 for 15p'

this is a Forum not a phone im not trying to have a go at anyone but there's a fkn keyboard infront of you , maybe its just me (being 31) but im having difficulty understanding what people are saying I have to re read posts and mentally put in the full stops and extra letters.

I fully open myself up to flames here and im sure im guilty doing this myself on the odd occasion - but only for a word not a whole sentence -

does anyone care ?

will this post be stomped to the bottom or only answered by 'fck off you wnkr im proppa englnd'

probly

Its an age thing, or is it just the fault of the phone companies with the text packages on most contracts and the cost of voice calls over text on PAYG deals.

A good ass whooping is what your generation needs...

Quicker to type maybe, but much slower for some of us to read! Back in the dark ages when I was still at school we had to be able to spell, use punctuation and know the basics of correct grammar to pass any written exams - has this changed? These skills were also needed to be able to get any decent job e.g. an office type job; I know I wouldn't have been able to employ anyone who couldn't write correctly in any of the "proper" jobs I had.

So in answer to your question Dskise no, you aren't the only one who cares and this isn't the only time the subject has been raised on these forums.
