Hiya,
I find it a real drag having to translate posts that are full of 'text speak'.
Most other forums that Iam a member of have a rule prohibiting the use of crappy english, why doesn't RIU?
I don't expect people to spell things perfectly and to always use correct grammar. I realise that typos can easily occour, and that not everyone can spell very well.
But I think when people fill their posts with 'u' for 'you', 'no' for 'know', 'yr' for 'your' or 'your'e' it shows a lack of respect for the reader.
