It has come to my attention that several users prefer to talk in "txt" language. What i mean by this is, instead of writing a clear and concise message that everyone can understand they use shortcuts such as "k" and "coz".

I would also ask that everyone checks their posts before they press submit for spelling/grammatical errors. It makes life easier for the people reading the forum and will also help us in terms of seo.

(Yes, we all make spelling mistakes! I have probably made quite a few throughout this forum but lets at least try and cut them down)

Regards.

I can see your point. Since I'm not a native English speaker I tend to write as in the books I had to study (from all the Shakespeare I've eaten these years I should write quite retro ) ... I can see people try to get rid of long words and write carelessly. It's a pity, because we're debating here some serious subjects.

I agree with this and hope the quality of our posts would rise dramatically.

If you are that concerned about it, why don't you install the spell checker?

Because that doesn't solve anything, I shouldn't have to. It really isn't that hard to double check your posts before you click send.

Sure it does solve things. People aren't going to break a habit that fast just for their post to look appealing to others. Obviously they don't care what their posts look like to others if they are typeing like that in the first place. It is very easy to install that hack, and very hard to break habit. Plus you get what you want acomplished. Its like telling a dog to learn new tricks or whatever without actually teaching it?

Like i said, I'm not interested in installing the hack. It's a simple reminder to people to double check their posts before posting, thats all.
