Instant Message Speak
Am I the only one here who gets frustrated that people use Instant Message Speak when posting threads?
U no i h8 2b so harsh but i really d0'nt lik 2 read thingz 40 timez 2b understand what some1 iz saying.
I'm not referring to spelling or gramatical errors as everyone one does that from time to time. The IM speak is no longer limited to text messaging. It is out of control and starting to affect learning in school.
One of the things I like about GS is the intelligence of its members and the fact that threads are smart, savvy, clear and concise. While IM speak is not rampant here, it is starting to show up, and from visiting other forums I have found that it is growing like a cancer at some . I personally don't want to see this forum go down that same path.
Any opinions on this?
