Contractor,
Did you learn all that in moderator school?
RPG means something else here right now.
Oh!And you forgot AKA.
Wholley.

Indeed wholley, hours spent under the tutorage of Sticky & Nasty Harry repeating the acronyms, I won't disclose the penalty for making a mistake - to hideous for those of a more sensitive disposition.

It was all worth it in the end though

Electrode's Huh?
I'm sure it is something you would'nt wan't to talk about.
They both make me shudder.
brave man Contractor.Carry On.
Wholley.

On request of sticky I've moved my post about spelling and grammar to this thread...

Lately there have been a few posts by people who have reverted back to text speak, I’m not sure if anyone else has picked up on this but its been severely getting on my nerves!!! Can we all please use the Queens English as it was intended to be used, and forget shortening words and spelling in phonetics, thank you...

I know this isn’t my place to say this, and Moderator's feel free to delete this thread if you wish, it’s just getting on my nerves that’s all...

lew

P.S. And just for you Spannerman there are the corrections that you pointed out…

Well said young lew, keep up the good work and who knows, you could become a moderator. The text speak etc: also annoys me.

Aye - Andy. :fadein:

Can we all please use the Queens English as it was intended to be used

What? Do you mean sort of like...ahem (said in a posh imperial voice)... "GET ON THE FLOOR AND SRCUB MY BOOTS YOU DAMNED NATIVE!" I only ask because I don't think thats very PC lol, I'm so bored

Seriously now (yes I can do it, I just need to get warmed up) I can't stand the text stuff, it's mainly done by the new ones to the site. I think if we just ask them nicely they'll stop it, and if they don't we should just chuck 'em.

Incidently I was going to make a "rules of engagment" thread for the board so we can all put down some rules we would like adhered to and have one of the mods use those magical powers to make it a sticky. It's a shame we have to but I don't think any of the newbies here read the rules when they join. So if you think it's a good idea tell me and I'll post the thread.

it makes me very happy to see (better: read), that you have the same problems as the germans with their forums (better: fora, latin plural for words ending with ...um). I think, everyone should write as he/she wants, but in a way, that other people can identify what they mean...

Ooops ... wish I'd read this thread before I'd posted.
My apologies folks, to anyone I may have offended ...
I understand I think I'm a "guilty lady" .... will reread
my threads and see if I can edit any of the expletives.
I usually tend to hold back and not sink to that level,
but am surprized by much I say and do these days.

Can I blame it MENOPAUSE perhaps, and be
forgiven?

I've only just come across this: but I'm so glad I did. So that's what KOTC means.

No wonder I keep getting slapped across the face!

Now heres a sugestion that'll keep a young Blade happy for a while and may even make him think he's important !! ....Hows about some one making an list of Text Accronyms and Mnemonics:







Hey........ Note the spellings .....Eh

You are quite right with this language-the trouble & reason they do it
is because they-the swear-words are easy to write-SHAME, but the
majority of ole time Booties Ithink you'll find are very good








I wish I could find $$$$$$ Dentures?

If anyone wants to catch up on the Queens language, watch the series
of ''Brat Camp'' on the tetevision-you'll be quite surprized & might even
learn$$$$$$$$$$$ Thank goodness I'm an Oldie!



Wish I could find my%%%% Dentures!!!!
