Well. I dittoed my earlier post. [b]What we need is awareness in how we placed ourself in a discussion. [/b] I think, adding such rules is too excessive. Text lingo has become a mass phenomenon, and it is not a subject to complaint. We need a very long time to wipe it away. And perhaps it couldn't be wiped away. I put FTalk down as a forum for fun, to discover our capability in tweaking, and much more. FTalk is not a formal institution which make the member as a good english speaker become the purpose. Honestly, i don't like [u]some of[/u] the lingos. But whatever i did, i couldn't change the phenomenon. So just let it go with the flow. They have their own way to express their minds. As long as they didn't break the rules or hurt someone's feeling. This is a no-end discussion. We need solutions, not only an empty argument. And i've suggested an idea before. When you found a lingo post, and you couldn't take the points. Just ask the poster. Hope that he/she will realize that his/her post isn't a popular post that can be easily understood by the others. If he/she is a open minded and not a stubborn person, i believe that he/she will change his/her bad habbit. Instead of adding new rules that couldn't be implemented easily, we have better to use a friendly patter or give a good example.
