I find that people who write in text speak usually have an equally worthless opinion.

By damselindistress• 4 Dec 2011 21:11
damselindistress

Well, because their opinions still matter to me, if i am following a thread, i read everyones opinion, i dont selectively read what i only want to read, their opinion might same as mine or whatever, it's just that the way they write is pretty annoying and the way they shortcut the word is sometimes hard to read and comprehend :(

What I know is I will never even try to read things that will hurt my eyes or hurt me. Hahaha! :p

big ado about nothing.

I never read any posts written in text speak...and that's it.

Why should anybody be punished for it??

If they don't want people to read their posts, that's their business, right?

By Segmund• 4 Dec 2011 18:00

I wish I could be that lucky not to be of any consequence for the likes of you. I have never responded to any of your posts before although you kept on talking about mine (and this is the last you will see from me). Yet you drop into my discussion like a housefly falling into a cup of tea. If you are true to your word, you will never reply to any of my posts. Only then would it mean I do not exist for you.

By timebandit• 4 Dec 2011 17:58

Text Speak is blooming annoying. I say kill them all!

Now I am going for a nice relaxing cup of tea.

LoL at Segmund- practice what you preach babe...

Who is being judgemental here? you called me judgemental even without knowing me... how funny is that? Did i say that people who write text speak are dumbass? i suggested to Mods to at least warn members to refrain from using text speak... lol

You are not a teacher here. Nor are you a parent. Your stance is completely paternalistic and pedagogical. By being judgmental you can not achieve anything but loss of friends. I know you are a cute girl with a cute heart. Why then would you go around and annoying people by pointing mistakes in what they write, mistakes which they are completely fine with, but which only bother you. When you are their teacher, or had you happened to be their parent, you would have all the liberty to strike upon them like thunder.

Segmund-Mayroon mong basahin ang aking post? Ako malinaw na nakasaad doon sa hindi bababa sa magbigay ng isang babala unang, o suspensyon para sa paulit-ulit na pangyayari at hindi nabanggit tungkol sa ban ... bilang ko na sinabi doon ...

Mayroon bang anumang pagkakataon sa hindi bababa sa magbigay ng babala o suspindihin ng mga miyembro na gumagamit ng text magsalita? (hindi ban kahit) Magbasa nang higit pa: http://qatarliving.c ...

Mods maaaring ilagay (pigilin ang sarili mula sa paggamit ng text nagsasalita) kung sabihin ko gr8 .... tulad sa mga Mods ilagay (natin hindi pinagbawalan kayo ng telco) kung sabihin ko SH * t ... :) Nakuha ito? : P

Magbasa nang higit pa: http://www.qatarliving.com/node/2348336 # ixzz1fZgHicO4

Hanapin, hindi ako fighting sa iyo dito. Lamang ako sinasabi hindi na kailangan upang gumawa ng tulad ng isang isyu sa mga ito. Ano ang kailangan para sa pagbibigay ng babala? Kaya maraming mga tao ang may gusto sa pagsulat at pagbasa ng estilo. Lamang dahil hindi mo gusto ito, ang mga tao ay dapat makakuha ng 'babala' at 'suspensions'. Halika sa, walang mabangis.

honey....

I am not fighting with you either....

come on, don't try to be cute with me though :) :P lol..j/k

I am also just saying that text speak is something that is not appropriate in the forum. Let's not talk gibberish here..

Does your teacher/parent allow you to talk giberrish?

By anonymous• 4 Dec 2011 16:59

put the claws back in girl,,, why you pinos like to text talk i dont know,, maybe im not the only one who hates text talk... grow up. we can talk for real not childich cheap text talk..

Look, I am not fighting with you here. I am just saying there is no need to make such an issue of it. What is the need for giving a warning? So many people like writing and reading the style. Just because you do not like it, people should get 'warnings' and 'suspensions'. Come on, be no barbarous.

By damselindistress• 4 Dec 2011 16:53
damselindistress

Segmund- Have you read my post? I clearly stated there to at least give a warning first, or suspension for repeatedly occurence and never mentioned about banning... as I've said there...

Mods could put (refrain from using text speak) if I say gr8 .... just like Mods put (Let's not get banned by telco) if I say sh*t ... :) got it? :P

You can always say that you do not like this style. May be you can point out what is wrong with the style. You can be as vocal as you like about it. But I do not think you should slam a ban on it, just because your eyes 'mubarak' can not take the trouble to read them.

I do not like cricket. I feel it just makes you lazy and waste time. But I am not going to appeal to the government to make it illegal. The problem is with me, not the game.

As I said, I too do not like such casual style, but I do not mind if someone is writing in it. At least, he/she will never get my attention, that is enough as far as I am concerned. And it is really not like using the bad words. Those words are offensive and must be discourage whether by a ban or anything. This one is not that serious, I guess.

By damselindistress• 4 Dec 2011 16:35

Segmund- It's the same precaution that Mods are doing if members are trying to write shyte, fook or other (let's not get banned by telco) thing.

I'm sorry but I'm not the type who keep silent if i dont like what i read, hear or see... if it is a sign of distress... then i guess there's no sane people left in this QL Community :)

**Let's just say that this is part of an advocacy to preserve correct spellings ... LoL :P

By Segmund• 4 Dec 2011 16:27
Segmund

You really seem to be in distrss. But the cause of your distress is yourself. Why do you bother to read a post with such text? Just read something else. I too do not like it but I would never ask someone to take action against it. There are so many things which others do, and I do not. That does not mean I should go around fighting with them and stopping them. Live and let live.

Drover- I am a Filipina, and if you dont get the context of my appeal to Mods, get out of here :P lol just kidding!

I am making an appeal to Mods if they can at least give warning or suspend members who are using text speak in the forum as it hurt my eyes and I'm sure others dont want to read this kind of text too.

Envy Me- I dont think I'll get use to it :(

Also, i just find people who do that a bit childish... trying to be cute
