A very emotive subject, this thread has produced some interesting replies. I enjoy a cig, but would never smoke in front of or near a child. Just spent a few days up in scotland with family in a caravan, 2 small children with us. The smoking area was my car parked some distance away from the van.

Please, if you are going to quote me, or use me in anyway do it in English not text! We have no need to use anything other than the normal language on here we have plenty of room and the keyboard is so much bigger!

(what you are trying to say could make sense if as the majority of us, you use plain language).

(Oh dear have I opened a different can of worms? Again!)

Can I join you on your tangent Less? I find it very difficut to read some posts these days which are full of textspeak and grammatical errors.

Thank you willow, though I can forgive the grammar, after all English is a difficult subject but being lazy with the words what you can be using isn't something what I like!

my grammer is bad along with my spelling and have in te past used text speak to hide a few flaws result unhappy people so I now grin and bare it. Yet some people including children have it down to a fine art. We teach them bad habits then we pick up theirs.

I have no problem with grammar or spelling that people use we all learn, I try all the time to improve and fail, I just don't think with such a wonderful thing as the English language that I have to dechipher gibberish.

i am slightly illiterate. it dont matter how many times i am told if i or e comes first. or which there or thier to use...or when and where to use a comma...i still cant do it.. i also cant write much... well i cant write... never learnt join up writing and my print is unreadable.

so long as people can figure out what I am typing... thats all that matters...

Gayle · 06-09-2005, 15:20

You're right, that's all that matters. Everyone makes allowances for the odd wonky spelling or grammar error, we completely accept that - it's the text speak that's hard to understand.

Children could be weaned onto nicotine by the parent's use of a pipe which is apparently less harmful.
