Do I get the green T-shirt?

Good stance and admonition, Tal! Your efforts at making this a quality site are appreciated!

Thank goodness!

Well actually, if the "and text talk" was an interjection, it would be grammatically correct. And I realize that I'm grasping at straws, but come on, SOMEBODY's got to be on Tal's side =D

I must admit I do prefer my version: Ask Me Help Desk - Announcements in Forum : Teens

But Tal's is snappier ;)

My version is meaner.

People really hate my version.

Probably because I'm telling them that they're acting like children in an adult forum, really.

I'll arm wrestle you for the shirt! Any bets gentlemen? You know you want to watch! ;) :D

I think part of the problem is that they *are* children and texting is their world outside of here. With the advent of more and more web-enabled portable devices we can sadly expect more text-talk not less. <sigh>

I guess that makes me some kind of outlaw text messager. I use complete sentences and punctuation :D

I really have to wonder how the kids are getting a passing grade in school. Not only is it text talk, many can't even spell a word correctly anymore. I'm not saying all kids/teens are like this, but there sure are a good majority of them, I've noticed. It's too bad.

Also, apparently the use of capital letters, puntuation, and paragraphs have gone out the window too! I guess they are used to "spell check." Is there any such thing as translate this into English so I can read it, check? LOL!

For school work they use Word, complete with spellcheck and grammar check. :D

Amazingly, since I work at a college----those SAME kids are amazed when they don't get "excepted to ur collage".

Dats knot rite! Y didn't u cept them?

Now that's scary! I could actually read that! Eeeekkk! They've gotten ahold of my brain!

There's spell check on this forum. Yet, I still see misspelled words. Sad.

And Firefox has the spell check built in. IE sucks to high heaven.

God, I'm such a geek.

Okay, I feel left out. Ben, what the heck did you say? I think Starbuck was in there, but the rest is a mystery.

Don't make me start writing in German, I will! ;)

Вы обещает сделать ваши пальцы не может держать;)

Alty sollten Sie nicht mit den Jungen wie das spielen! Sie werden sie schreien lassen! Sie sind ein großer Geizhals!

Starby, that's not fair, you're cheating, badly! ;)

Ben. Huh?

Eww, this thread is sticky! GROSS!

Retsy, was that a hint, or am I completely off my rocker?

Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

Ich werde jetzt Deutsch sprechen. Ich kann nich Chat speak sprechen, aber Deutsch, Englisch under swein latin kann ich sprechen. Sei gut kinder, ich bin alt und kann nicht mehr lernen. ;)

Ha! :)

ACHTUNG!

Das forum is nicht fur gerfingerpoken und mittengrabben.
Ist easy schnappen der Sprinngwerk, blowenfusen und

Relaxen, reading und watching...

Oh fooey, busted! :);)

Love it K.I.S.S. now that's funny! :)

This thread has now degenerated into using other languages...
AND YOU YELL AT US KIDS FOR SAYING LOL??
=P

Yesireee! We can't understand a lot of the teen text talk, so they have to figure out our German! LOL!

Thank god for Google translate

Personally I can't read through stuff slowly and so when they use a lot of txting it gets to where it can't be followed so then it is difficult to give a reply. Then if it is something I really want to reply to I have to refer to the other posts to get what is going on. I don't mind a couple texts here and there but every third word or so is just too much!

Wirklich ist Altenweg von Deutschland, so braucht sie nicht einen Übersetzer, und es gibt viele andere auch! Ich bin deutsch, aber ich bin daran nicht sehr gut! Versuchen Sie jetzt und übersetzen Sie diesen Rücken ins Englische. Leider bin ich auf eine Google-Seite für das dumme Gespräch nicht gestoßen... LOL!

I think I tried to read something that looked similar to this from a teen just lastnite! ;)

What drives me nuts is when they are not only using text talk, the questions are 3 mls. Long, and there is no capitals, no puntuation, and no spaces! I often won't bother. It just gives me a headache! :rolleyes:

Edit: I have to add, that it is not just teens! A lot of the adults are guilty too!

Here you goes you po peeps kant eva git it str8 txting or alien language.:rolleyes:

Old way of Germany is actual, needs it not a translator, and there is many other also! I am German, but I am on that not very good! Try now and translate this back into the English. Unfortunately I am not bumped into a Google side for the stupid conversation...

Sorry there is no txting to english translator on the site. :(:eek:
