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?
