    Punctuation is your friend!
    My home is usually the House Buying, Renting and Selling Forum where I can be found trying to (sometimes unsucessfully) prove that not all Estate Agents are crooks. With 20 years experience of Sales/Lettings and having bought and sold many of my own properties I've usually got something to say ;)

    At least he hasn't used foul language unlike most teenagers, has made the effort and apologised. More than some do!
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Why does being 13 mean you can't string a sentence together in a proper manner in english where at least 90% of the population will understand it.

    Does he talk face to face with people like that,I doubt it.

    This forum has a range of ages. And yes some times we all spell a word wrong or miss out a letter. I am gulity of that even after proof reading.

    If the target audience for there message where all the same age as they are e.g 13 years old then I would say fine. But we range from 13 to people who are in there 80's.

    If you want help then you need to use language that appropriate for the audience that will give you the help. And text speak is not correct for here in general. As could be seen if they had read around the forum.

    What if they had been asking a non texting question. Then he would have got very little answers. As I for one will not reply if I can't make out what the person wants in the first place. Even if I had knowledge they required.

    Also I would say there was no need to apologise to any one as I don't think they offended any one just confused a few people.



    Yours
