I use to frequent the E30 Zone and they introduced a filter that would delete what you had tyed and replace it with "I'm a numpty and tried use text speak!" That soon put a stop to "doze wat cant help dem selvs innit bruv!"
-
Can do the same here, just need to define what you want filtered/changed. Maybe 'tryin' for starters :grin:

l8 and m8 etc etc would be good ones to get rid of. I've also seen these popping up:
bit lt8 on reply
That doesn't even make sense!?

Can we ban old people too?
I don't get text talk, it is just lazyness!
-
I banned my missus from texting me in txt talk. :cool:
-

old people or just one old person in particular? :grin:
-
It might be simpler to type , but its like trying to crack the enigma code to undestand what people are trying to say.
Though texta between blokes sually involve "pub?" "yeah" "time" "7" "sorted" much the same as a male-male phonecall
-
You could get a replacer so it replaces text speak with normal words, it wouldnt work all the time, but it would replace a lot. Just like the smileys repalce with pictures :S
-
anyone noticed bast*rd comes up "fatherless son" when typed without a star etc?
-
Thats coz you cant f**kin swear on here!
-
text speak is for gays
-
No its for sending long messages in the least characters! :smug:
-
^^ hahah! i was jst makin the point that if basta*d is auto changed, other phrases could be too..
-
text speak is for gays
correct.
-
if people can't write proper words then they shouldn't write at all
-
Oh well if we're being @nal...can all the dumb fcuks who keep spelling brakes as breaks please fcuk off..
i mean...jeez..lighten up people... :rolleyes:
I for one, considering I send a shed load of letters/emails for work, quite enjoy not having to think and write correctly on here as well as everywhere else in my daily working day.. :rolleyes:
oh and Neaty, at least get your writing correct if people are to write "proper words" :rolleyes:
Dinx :kiss:
-
yes but do you use full on text speak?? spelling isnt really a big deal but tbh maybe i am getting a little old but i cant understad text speak! lol i always text full words :rolleyes:
-
Neaty said proper words...I drop the g off things purely because I'm lazy..so therefore, they aren't proper words..
I don't understand some of the b0llix (stupid text speak - like ma car and iz it blue) people write, but I think some people just get a tad ott on stuff, including grammar and spelling, when they don't know people's educational background, imo..
not just having a go at Neaty here..btw
Dinx :kiss:

I fail to see what is wrong with this sentence bar a capital letter not being present at the start.
if people can't write proper words then they shouldn't write at all
Di, i have obviously hit a nerve here. I didn't mean it like that, what i meant was, saying things like 'm8' or missing key letters out of the middle of a word.
-
Will if I was picking someone up on it, I would re-write it as "If people can not write properly, they should not write at all".
Not a nerve, no, it's just that it started out with having a go about text speak, which I totally agree with - it being stupid, and as per, when people see an opportunity to jump on the band wagon, it then snow-balls into a free for all to have a moan about everything.
I just think that it's a car forum and to be honest, if people do go really get on your nerves doing it, don't answer there posts or ask them to translate.
As previously stated Paul, this was not just a dig at you.

We use "text speak" on here anyway though!
ISV
ABS
DV
etc. etc. Its just a form of abreviation within the genre you are using.
-
^^^yes thats exactly the same len. and well done for using examples from the other thread about technical terms.
