Ok, we all make mistakes when typing quickly but there's no excuse for deliberately missing out letters or completely changing how word are spelt :roll:

SO MANY people on this forum and others do it now :evil:

I mean

stil
thanx
comin
goin
gettin
hav
wot
wen

and so on......

If you can't be bothered to write properly then people will not be bothered to read your childish squibble. For the sake of typing another letter which takes less than a second what is the point of not typing it?

no major problem, i dont think anyone will lose sleep over it. its just that you have a full keyboard in front of you and as much space as you like and a lot of people who read the forums that aren't native english speakers.

i know....if you read up you'll see that i mentioned about the nationality thing...i do see where everyone is coming from though...i mean i do try to spell every word fully but sometimes you just dont notice,i dont check over my spelling when i've finished as its only a message board but being honest they arent hard to figure out ive seen alot worse
