I don't mind the odd LOL, LMAO type thing but when vowels disappear for no reason other than laziness then I begin to get annoyed.
What also gets my goat is where a word has been changed however still contains the same number of letters as it's meant to. So it's not even laziness that is prompting the change, it's really 'just because'. |

i'm a lol loather..it either means it's really not funny at all or you have judged me to be too ignorant to be able to recognise humour unless it's surrounded by neon lights and a pointer with 'joke' written on it with an accompanying 3 second warning siren to let me know that a funny is imminent |

Actually, you're right it's my pet hate. If I even read a profile that has abreviations in it I'm put off straight away. If you can't be bothered to write a correct profile and a correct email, how will you be bothered to keep me entertained all night long?  |

so long as the message IS understandable then generally we are ok ... but we have had messages we've read over and over a couple of times and replied ....

took me about a year to realise that LOL was 'laugh out loud' and not 'lots of love'.... used to wonder why all the str8 guys were sending me love messages and not offering their cocks when I seen em.. teasers. |

It winds me the fuck up! seriously, like you wouldn't believe. It's lazy, irritating and pretty much guaranteed to get any message you send us deleted.
Chuffing kids - grumble, grumble, old man, grumble...

Ah, 'Tis good to be here on this thread with my people.
Rest easy now, brave men and women of the English language, for they shall be here soon enough...
...the battle will be bloody, they'll try and make it a show trial about dyslexia, but now is your chance to stand firm.
They will point to typos and call them spelling mistakes, for they know not the difference. Do not let them distract you with their “LOL” and their “PMSL”
"Aye, fight and you may die.
Run and you'll live -- at least a while.
And dying in your beds many years from now, would you be willing to trade all the days from this day to that for one chance, just one chance to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take our Grammar, spelling and PROPERLY CONSTRUCTED SENTENCES!!!!".

The only place I would use LOL is if sending a message on this site, but only because there isn`t an emoticon facility. Other than that, if you messaged me in text speak, I would more than likely either ignore the message or delete it after sending a suitable reply! I don`t even use text speak when doing a text!  |

"The Grammar and spelling refuseniks are quiet tonight.
I just can't be fucking bothered anymore. It's a lost fight."
Now COME ON people!!
That's not the attitude.
If we'd taken that attitude then by now the Proud Scots would be a subservient people to the Engli....

"Are England playing by any chance?
I don't think you want to be raising the subject of football tonight.... "
Don't tell me, let me guess.
Scotland are playing the Pitcairn Island second Eleven and are 0-7 down?
At half time. |
