Can I ask again, I only got three responses. One from someone who obviously knows what I look like.

There are so many new people on Entmoot that I'm begginning to blank out...I can't think what people might look like.
And by the way, I agree with Lizra...

i agree with lizra too. but it doesn't bother me as much. i try not to make alot of spelling mistakes,in fact i spell check the stuff i don't think i spelt right most of the time. although i miss some of my mistyped words so they become misspelled. sorry about that.

Yes, the dire tongue of 'chat-speak' is most annoying!

I know that I do slip into typing with my own accent quite regularly, that's a slip-back from my old chatroom days where a bunch of use all typed in our accents....made it easier to recognise each other in a crowded room. If ya wanna use chat-speak you should really use it propers, like so- AQAQAQICI82QB4IP! |

Having never "chatted", I am totally clueless here. (I guess that's more than obvious! )
You mean you all typed in your "funny" English accents? What a trip!

I don't think anyone really tries to spell words incorrectly (unless they do so in jest), but to deliberately use "chat-speak" all the time becomes tiresome.
And just to show that I can actually stay on topic - how do I envision the 'mooters?: Fangirls - all seem to fade into 1 blurry vision of screaming teenagers, resembling the mobs that were "Beatle Mania" Lizra - very pretty & pensive with a quirky sense of humour and loves nature Coney - drunken rabbit ('nuf said) and I'm unable to go on 'cos I seem to be typing very slowly and it is infuriating me, if I muster the energy I shall post the rest later Edit - added pretty with Lizra's description ('cos I thought that anyway and was horrified to find that I had omitted it - my humblest apologies Liz)

welcome to the 21st century
I used to be annoyed by chat speak as well then I got used to it. Now I barely even notice it. Its just a slang short cut language developed by teens to chat online while minimizing finger use. I dont really see the harm in it. Once you become "fluent" you dont even notice it. And yet you can respond in "normal" english to it and both parties understand each other. I have even seen chat speak in other languages. Its really part of the lanscape now. No sense trying to resist it. Resistance if futile after all. You will be assimilated. Or you will die by the side of the road and join us dinosaurs. In my book anything that bridges communication is a good thing. k? c-ya.

I spend most of my free time at work reading posts on an email list inhabited mainly by professors, authors and doctorate holders. The only time I have ever seen shorthand used there was by some kid who thought he could take on the big guys (but got his ass nailed to the wall instead). At a place like that, shorthand is seriously frowned upon. As are emoticons.
So now you know why I don't use smilies that often. Nevermind about me holding the record for most smilies in one post... |

Our smilie here is very nice! I post on several forums, and "chat talk" is always frowned on.
