Don't get me started on spelling mistakes! The SMS generation is driving me nuts!


Even when sending SMS messages, I still spell and punctuate correctly. And if my message takes up too much space? I paraphrase it.

Same here, and I actually send quite a few. If paraphrasing doesn't work, I start taking out words... it's great!

I can read, write and spell and I still use short hand in SMS messages and some forum posts.

Communiction is about the intended message. If u can get yr message across then there is no problem.

I agree some SMS short hand is ridiculous and it takes longer to decode it than it would have taken to type had it been typed with correct spelling.

I also agree that kids not being able to spell is a problem.

However dont confuse convenience with inability.

Using short hand does not effect my ability to spell correctly. So if kids cant spell, dont look at SMS messages, look at parents and teachers.

There should be some sort of rule about posting topics asking questions about when new features and the like are coming out, they aren't state secrets, when there's a date I'm sure the site will announce it.

And yet, many kids start out with the ability to spell, but after much practice with the so-called 'shorthand' writing in SMS's and emails, they often lapse and have even been known to use these ridiculous abbreviations in exams

I save correct grammar and punctuation for my reports and essays at uni.

I couldn't give a toss about how I write things on forums/blogs etc.
