Ur out of luck

Even if I know the answer, you're out of luck if you can't be bothered to type out "you're" or "your" in your question.

ur kind of resembles a word in Tagalog (and may even be one), but not English.

Its the SMS Age that we live in today Doug. My eldest is the same when sending texts or on MSN. I can barely decipher it. God help her and her friends when they come to sit their exams.

So where exactly did you catch sight of this text speak?

haha I'm guilty of that when I'm typing text messages or instant messages to friends, but not when I'm asking for help here. Not to mention the fact that we have people helping in these forums whose first language isn't English. So it might not makes sense to some of them. I really hate when the sentence or paragraph they type makes completely no sense at all.

Nowhere in particular, it's just been cumulatively growing in my mind, so I thought I'd just ignore such posts in the future, since it drives me nuts. And it wouldn't be fair to ignore people without giving some advance warning

there were some members who posted here without knowing even
tiny bit of english. they used online translators.. you can imagine
how their questions looked like, and of course they could never
understand the answers. now that was nightmare..
as for the laziness of the younger generations - in general, people
try to achieve more by doing less. nothing new, it's the same lady
in different dress.

I see where you are coming from doug! Just be aware of those with writing difficulties like dyslexia etc.

So you heard about the dyslexic agnostic insomniac who stayed up all night wondering if there is a dog?

yeah, u've met him too then !
