Re: Lazy Typing

I just HATE lazy typing. The whole point of writing is to exchange information in a way that should be readable by people who can speak the same language. I shouldn't have to try and decipher a simple post because words have been shortened to the phonetic spelling and letters have been replaced by numbers.

Obviously a little punctuation goes a long way like your basic Fullstops and Commas, but even that seems like a waste of 1 second of their life.

I find foreign people type better English/American than others who use it as their Mother tongue and for that I congragulate them on learning such a complicated language. I speak English; well, Aberdonian Slang English; and still have a few words I can't spell without thinking about it with it's constant silent letters.

Scottish on the other hand, is pretty simple and mostly phonetic. Unless you come across 'ach', which I cannot even begin to explain how to pronounce. Then you have words like: Tcheuchter
