You may have put your text in simpleton English, but I doubt that it was in simple English. Your posts are nearly as difficult to translate as piratetroll's. This is a discussion board, not a chat room. You can be assured that you will not be taken seriously as long as you write like a six-year old.

I learnt that the hard way.
On another forum of course. ;)

Something else to consider before using chatroom abbreviations on a forum read worldwide is that they make no sense at all to non-native English speakers.

That was nice of you to try to help Borat, even though he's probably a troll.

I'm opposed to the use of chatspeak on message boards, believe me, but I'm not sure that all non-native English speakers understand "real" English better than chatspeak. I seem to remember hearing from someone (perhaps on a message board) who actually understood chatpseak better, I suppose because it's used so often.

However, that's no excuse, either way. I'm no expert on dyslexia, but I don't believe that there's a form of it that causes a person to write "ne1," "sum1," "ppl," etc. Nor is there a form, to my knowledge, that leads to snake knot-tying. Perhaps, at best, some sort of compulsive disorder? :)

I did read the whole thread actually.
So don't jump to conclusions.
I will say no more on this subject.

:roflmao: I'll agree with you on one point: age doesn't matter one bit. There are MANY young posters here for whom I only have the utmost respect. These young posters know the difference between a discussion board and a chat room. I AM old (sorry Nanci; you're only as old as you feel, and I feel old), so it doesn't offend me in any way when you point it out. And "back in my day", if you engaged adults in conversation, you had to do so in an adult manner, or you were not taken seriously. That has not changed, despite your excuses and delusions. The ESTABLISHED forum members here value mature communication skills. We don't want this place to be a rubbish-heap of silly chat-speak. Ask around.

And spare me the threats. You won't even be here in three months, so your respect for me, or lack thereof, doesn't bother me in the slightest. Nor do I have the least bit of concern for what you will or will not stand for.

Yours truly,
Methuselah

Served. :grin01:
 
You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Roy Munson again.

If you're Methusela, I'm dirt. :cheers:

You've got to be one of the most enthusiastic, effluent new owners there is. I appreciate that- and would like to nurture it. I can tell by looking at your blog that you truly care about the well-being of Damien, and I respect that. No one has asked so many questions in such a short period of time. :) And you actually _listen_ to what people tell you!

Nanci (older than dirt!)
 
thanks nanci, if i dont get banned for "annoying ppl and spamming" then ill just come on here and ask my questions and pm ppl like i normally do


p.s i mean people
 
I really don't see why you can't just take the time to make sure your posts are written in a readable, intelligent manner. I promise, it does not take long. If you type like an intelligent human being, you will be treated like one. Not only that, but it makes it a lot easier to understand the message of the post and give a good answer to whatever questions are in it, when you don't have to spend five minutes deciphering your so called 'modern' typing.

Also, it's kids like you, who are too lazy to put any effort into making your posts readable, who give a bad reputation to the rest of us younger members.

Please, just type your posts correctly, and you'll cause a lot less friction between yourself and other members. It's really not that hard. You've even got a spell-check function at the bottom of every post-input screen, so there's no excuse (other than laziness) not to use it.
 
It's all simple. I use this type of spelling and grammar for Cornsnakes.com.

nd a us dis typ o spln n grmmr 4 wndws lyv msngr!

See, how simple, and seriously, you don't wanna' be tying knots in your snake, or biting him (Salmonella)
