Marsha thanks for the reminder!! There are many times when I'll give up on reading a post because I don't know the slang and it takes too long to figure it out.

Bumping to top of list so we are reminded not to use shorthand, slang or IM terms. Not everyone uses them or knows what they mean.

THANK YOU for the reminder!!!
I find posts with shorthand and no punctuation SO frustrating that I usually don't even try to read them to the end. If I do, I'm usually too irritated to write an answer.

I too get very frustrated by shorthand in posts. If it's real bad I won't even take the time to read it let alone reply to it.

Thats one of the (many) reasons we stress this!
If people can't understand what you write you aren't going to get any replies.
And if a post is too illegible it will be removed!
And we REALLY dislike having to remove a post!

Admin note


We have many different countries on the forum and we ask that members use spell check and refrain from using slang or IM talk. Sometimes its is hard to read posts without proper spelling, spaces, caps and punctuation. Doesn't have to be perfect, just readable.



Thank you.
