I am writing on this thread as this is where I have noticed the problem. Would people please stop posting using text style abbreviations. There are several examples of this on this site at the moment & I personally find it very annoying. I am writing this in the hope that others also consider it bad form and agree with me that it should cease. What do you think? Is it just me? Bob

Text style abbreviations a tad annoying I admit, but as far as punctuation, grammar or spelling goes, we have to remember all ages and abilities post here... I was recently teaching somebody how to use a computer at the age of 49, eye-opener as it is so second nature to me. L8ers Andy

It would be better for all if we just read them in the way they were intended with the best intentions. Now, IMO I am not having a go at anyone, it took me a while to pluck up the courage to ask what IMO ment but hey if you are not that good a typing or spelling if it helps to shorten it, what's the problem. Relax, think happy thoughts and enjoy the site.

It is a idle way of getting round our language and was designed as a time saver. Dyslexia is something quite different and I would have thought easy to differentiate fom the above. Regarding abbreviations....I know what you mean, I had the same problem with LOL. Best Regards Dave
