is there a way

Sturdee I don't think that you have anything to apologise for. When I txt my wife while I am away working I always type you not u because I like using proper english. Personally some of the english used in this post is just pure laziness ( or maybe we are not cool enough to use crappy english?).

Good for you.
BTW English is spelt with a capital E.

Hey, I'm training to be a manual arts teacher not an English Teacher! (That's my brother's job ).

I can write properly when I want to and I am a teenager, it is just easier for us to write in short.

The reason I write in short is because of the One hundred and twenty characters limit on Short Message Service.

And wood Butcher, it has got nothing to do with coolness. it is because of the laziness of my generation ( just as you have mentioned in an above post ).



P.S, this whole post is a first for me, because it is my first on this forum with perfect ( or near ) punctuation and spelling. Also I feel proud about this.

Then you'll be pleased to know that on this board there is a 10,000 character limit per post and you can make multiple posts every 2 minutes.

So you don't have to worry about writing in full rather than short, as you so quaintly put it.

BTW, I was a teenager when I came here and very quickly had to learn the language correctly, for in those days in every school exam ( English or otherwise ) they deducted one mark for every spelling or grammar mistake. So the "I am a teenager" excuse is IMHO crap.

1st that would be really bad for todays kids ( i kid in my english class asked the teacher how to spell suspenseful- and this is the top class of my year - and we've had worse spelling questions than that too. )

2nd, i feel really dumb for asking this cos its probably obvious but, what does imho mean.:confused:

Sorry sunshine, punctuation mistakes were abundant. There shoiuld not be a space after an opening bracket nor a space before a closing bracket, but, one who is used to cramming so much information into 120 characters must be revelling in the lenient character limits in this forum so a few extra spaces mean nothing.
