Currently studying to be a Manual Arts teacher and one of the experienced teachers that I have talked to said that sometimes they feel pressured to be a bit lax on spelling and grammar in exams so long as the content is correct.:eek:Anyone elso getting Jack of SMS, Shortened eGlish Jibberish?

Welcome to the club mate, I don't know whether they are trying to be "With it" or are racing through life and can't spare the time, or are just plain bloody lazy. All I know is that it irritates me when I have to decipher it. Originally Posted by Ivan in Oz

No I can't stand it either. So much so that I don't read posts that are written that way.
Life is too short to spend time trying to deciper that crap.

I don't know what it means to others but to me it spells : " Please ignore this post, close this window and move on to the next post as I'm an idiot who really doesn't want your input." Originally Posted by Ivan in Oz

Quite so.
If one cannot be bothered (or have sufficient education) to write even approximately correct (insert relevant language here) messages, then, in my view, don't.
These SMS-type messages are just a gross impertinance IMO.
Grumpy auld buggah!

It's not shorthand, it's just semi literate crap, shorthand is an acquired skill not just some abbreviated rubbish.
Either you can spell or you can't, gr8 what a load of hot co*k, just spell great, it's probably quicker and intellectually more stimulating too.Stupidity kills. Absolute stupidity kills absolutely.

There is no reason for it if you are using a qwerty keyboard. It's just laziness.

Not wanting to offend any of our US friends, but it irritates me when some Australians spell in Amerienglish. Often chipping SWMBO who does this
