Default Texting in the forums

Something that drives me crazy is when people dont use all the ltrs in a word lik they r txting.

Every key board I have ever used has all the letters in the alphabet. No key is any harder to press down that others.

For old people like me its hard as heck to read!!!

Definitely a pain. I just skip those posts. I have enough on my plate to worry about. I'm not going to waste my time trying to first decipher & then diagnose a person's problem when they can't be bothered with proper punctuation, spelling, & grammar in the first place.

Not that anyone sees these links in my sig, but I really wish people would follow them:

lol but what r u tkg abt, im nt sure, i cnt typ fast bcs im drvng... ttyl sw k?

sw was sleep well, not you Kyle lol

I know, I see people err ppl with broken words, abbreviations & HEY, if you're here asking for help or offering it - speak english! I don't care what "ur" doing - you can type even on a cell/smart phone. Although we do use abbreviations like A/C, diff. auto etc <--- there's another, but they're common (to 99% of any population) knowledge.

Thanks everyone, I feel much better. Thought I was just getting old.
Been a little stressed lately. My Dad's sick. Bad sick.
So when I read a post where half the letter were missing I blew a gasket.

Hope everyone stays cool. Im stuck at work and its 83 degrees at 2:30 am!

Thanks again
