It's lazy, annoys me and for sure will not be tolerated when in the Corps of Royal Marines both during or after training. Use the Queens English please people.
Anymore of it and I will delete any lazy use of our language ASAP!

Artist I must be getting on a bit, I completely agree with you. I have a mobile phone that you actually make a phone call from and not a lot else.

I'm not sure it's really much to do with age. I think it's more to do with the technology of comms. I know grown adults who use this puerile lingo because they believe they need to/should do.

I've been doing my best davidemmerson, but I just get grief from people who think there's nothing wrong with it.
I know it's not just me thinking that if a question is important enough to someone for them to want to post it on the forums, then it should be important enough to them that they read over it before hitting the submit button.
'Oh that'll do' is not the attitude we want to see from people who aspire to join HM Armed Forces, innit!

You can have peace.
Or you can have freedom.
Don't ever count on having both at once.

The life that I have
Is all that I have
And the life that I have
Is yours

Mobile phones with text availability has to be the worst thing to happen to the English language.
The US use of texting is limited if not non-existent as calls are cheap(Even though we speak funny)
I have yelled myself hoarse about the use of text speak here.
It will no longer be a warning from me but a press of the"Delete"Button.
