Please consider this while posting..

Not all members have english as their first language - I can name several members, including myself.

So when you type your post, please use just a minimal of effort in not typing in a way that makes it hard to understand... like sloppy spelling, weird abbreviations and/or lack of punctuations.

Both makes it hard to read and understand... and not only for the foreign members.

Seconded!

.... and unfortunately my babelfish has gone AWOL - if someone finds it, please return to me asap

I find it hard to understand a lot of people.

have you looked down the back of the sofa cushions for your babelfish?

nah.. I'm afraid to look there.. I'm afraid of the the wild dustbunnies hiding there

dustbunnies are fine, they don't bite! You never know, you may find some money down there too

I just know I have a mutated kind.. I've heard them growl, and they sound ferocious!

I think we need to bump this.

Remember - punctuations are free, and the keys are on your keyboard - us old folks do not understand text-lingo... and nor do we want to.

LOL

*Bump*

Just a reminder, can we avoid txt talk on the forum please. Thank you.

But are we okay with LOL and such?

Yes that's fine and I do that myself, but it does become a bit annoying for some members when ppl tlk like this, not exactly gr8 is it?

HERE HERE!! I have enough of it marking assignments withough having it on here too!!
