Tilting at windmills! Why, Don Quixote, of course!
It may be a new wave, but I prefer full words...it really isn't that much harder to type you instead of u, and when I'm used to writing properly for school papers and stories I write on my own, it's sort of a habit anyway. Who is BQ1146? Tanoliel

I've heard of him (Don Quixote). I don't think that you could really classify me as literaryish though.

IR - I believe there is a certain degree of chat-speak that might be acceptable (just about everyone uses LOL etc) but to make up an entire post of it is ridiculous. In other "chat" rooms it's fine because of the context - if it's a "live" chat & you have something to say you have to do it fast before someone beats you to it, however here we do not have a chat facility so 'mooters have enough time (and space) to say what they feel without resorting to nonsensical "chats". Can you imagine what a headache it would be if all posts looked that? Especially the longer posts in the LoTR threads? Being too lazy / incapable of spelling correctly is no way of inventing a language (and no I am not referring to the fangirls - it's a general observation)

Im still clueless about the abreviations used even for Tolkien related material. Are they in the FAQ? I mean I know the LOTR and TTT and all that by now but sometimes Ill see strange abreviated references to other things and Im not sure what they are talking about. And sometimes there will be three or for of these abreviations in a row. To an outsider this kind of communication would probably look strange too. So its a matter of perspective I think.

Bah! I know that I at least have never (that I can remember, at least) skipped on of your posts because it was too wordy.
Which abbreviations do you not know?

Heres a question for you and all: have you ever in your life picked up an encyclopedia just to read for fun or for the heck of it?

The abbreviations puzzled me at first to, I remember asking about them on numerous occasions. Now I'm so used to them that I use them too without thinking about it. But you've got to admit that HoME takes a lot less time than typing History of Middle earth.

Well, if you count Robert Frost's Complete Guide to Middle-earth, or the Tolkien Handbook...

Egad! Robert FROST's Complete Guide to Middle-earth? What temporary lapse of brain activity possessed me!
