| Write/type in such a way you can almost hear them and grimace
If you read such statuses or posts do you also quit midway and find a new post to read! It drives me insane I'm from Essex, home of crap speak/accent and would never dream of typing/speaking such crap..
Sorry ladies rant over xx |

| Yes! We can all laugh about it I and hate it BUT am guilty of doing it! But my worry is that our los will actually write like that and it may be the norm by then. Language evolves and changes all the time and it's becoming acceptable to write/email in text language.
My daughter is 20 and is well educated and socialised but leaves me notes which I can't understand. (ok I know I'm old hehe). |
