Hi all,

I think I'm really showing my age when i write this, but i really struggle to read threads that are written in 'text speak' and not full words. I can generally understand misspelled words but it takes me twice as long to decipher a thread written in 'text speak'. Please can people try to write in words, I may be able to answer some questions if i can.

sorry for being a grump.

Text Speak

Hi Melanie

 

I don't know how old you are (I'm 58 this year) but I can't understand text speak either.  My husband grumbles at me about it sometimes.  I don't think it has a lot to do with age, as he's 64 this year and he sends texts all the time and has no problem at all.  Maybe there's a text speak course somewhere for us 'older people'.  I can just about manage to use my mobile phone to be quite honest and that's only because hubby has programmed in the most used numbers for me.

 

Regards
