    JesseG you are right :)
    The thing is just that in some post you can't make out what the guys are even saying. I am not talking about
    the few spelling mistakes.

    I've also noticed that a lot of the engrish becomes not understandable... the spelling we can work around... the bad grammar syntac (i.e sms style) is sometimes irritating... but I'm young enough to understand it. It's the pretty blatant english errors... meaning words are completely omitted... makes the thread a little bit of a problem.

    But needless to say... we all part of one big happy family.... we all speek fish fluently.

    lol I think Zoom was taking the piss with that post.

    Yeah it's very annoying trying to decipher 1337 5p34k, especially when you don't use it yourself.

    I think it would be nice if everyone used proper english and grammar as well as punctuation, as a sentence could easily be misinterpreted if the reader doesn't know what he/she is reading. I think this is where a lot of fights stem from simply due to lack of proper communication.

    Anyhoo, I'm not really one to judge as I know for a fact I leave words out at times.

    I am no english boffin myself but I use a dictionary,spell checker and read through my own post before
    actually posting it.
    The phone lingo is the very problem that is why nobody can spell or construct an normal english sentence.
    Also keep in mind I am old school man, u feelin my flavor? :)
