EA you are a fun girl

Maybe I'd find her more fun if I could actually understand anything she writes.

 

 

EA a word of advice - 'the' is spelt t-h-e, NOT d-a

thanx

"get wit it" ... "da" ... that's not text-speak! That's imitating these boy bands who are trying to sound black.

 

Besides, there's a good reason for abbreviating on your phone - because of the character limit per text message. Doing it online is just plain cryptic.

[edinburgh_angel]

this isnt a classroom or sum kinda test - y does my spellin matter???

[Dawn]

Thats what i'm saying ... it does not matter one iota ... spell the way you want to ... if other's can't be bothered to read it, then that' up to them, if it's bothering them, it's their problem not yours.

You are exhibiting a typical "mardy teenager" attitude towards school ... you seem to think that spelling will suddenly not be important when you enter the real world!

 

Seriously, have a think about some of these points:

 

1. People will take you more seriously (in most areas of life) if you articulate yourself well and spell correctly. FACT.

2. People will take you more seriously if you don't sound like you're trying to sound "black" (as in the gangster sense of deliberately abusing language).

3. English is easier to read than "text speak" or "'black' speak".

4. Ask yourself: if you can't be arsed to take any time over writing your post, why should people be arsed to read your post?

5. What is the point of language if it isn't to communicate your point effectively? If you don't think it's worth speaking proper English, why not take your argument to its logical conclusion and make your posts even more cryptic? Why not speak Welsh or Klingon or something?

6. Writing some proper English online would be some good practice for when you're older and it really matters. Trust me, there are a lot of areas of life where sub-standard writing skills will set you back!

i definitely skip over posts that you have to decipher to read

[edinburgh_angel]

Righty Ho People, can we leave angel alone now?

 

You've all made your points, and i'm sure you've all got much better things to do then slag people off for spelling and grammer erorrs, at the end of the day the world is not going to stop just because someone puts things across a little differently to everyone else.

 

Lets make the new folk feel welcome, and you never know we may get more members!
