Guys, this isn't about what will be their outcomes when they still continue using text lingos. I don't really care if they will suck in English in the future and won't get better jobs and we should take advantage to be a good example for them.
[quote=andHa]Just ask when you couldn't understand their posts. Or ignore them if you think those are not important topics.[/quote]
Isn't that a bit too harsh if we will just disregard their post? For me, all the posts are important. I read them one by one because the posts can have their partial reason to exist because the poster wants to be heard. But in this case, I think they should adjust to the forum. Meaning to say, why do we have to take our hard time reading their posts with text lingo? They are the ones who entered here and by the rules they should abide to it! I know that it's with the freedom of speech but like what I've said, would you even bother reading and understanding them when you can't fully understand what they are saying?
As my teacher in programming had explained, computers can't understand what humans imply. So, the humans should try to understand and use the words the computers know so that the computer can follow what the humans command them. Same with the users who use text lingo, they should try and adjust themselves so that the members of the community in this forum may understand what they are meaning to say. Is it that really hard to follow the correct usage of words to post?
