I cannot imagine how a person could be so lazy that they are unable to type a complete sentence on a computer keyboard.TL;DR
To quote Mark Twain: It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.
I agree, I hope this forum does not slide into the "text speak/mambo jumbo" of teenagers

C'mon guys lighten up will you? The OP of this thread is spamming us with shit and I responded with TL;DR and yet I'm the one getting drilled.
TL;DR is commonly used on internet forums to dismiss long winded posts that provide no value or content.
I agree that this forum shouldn't devolve into juvenile internet speak but are we really going to check every users use of language, grammar and abbreviations?
No we don't "check every users use of language" ........but you will get a reaction when you say - "you'll get over it." - especially considering you are a month old on the forum. But anyway ..... don't worry about it - enjoy the forum ...... and follow the rules
I was just thinking of this again. And I am not at all getting to you Basement Dweller, but being in the recruitment industry we get this quite a lot when people either e mail us or comment on our work Facebook page. It irritates the shit out of me/us. And as much as I fully agree with you that the posting above was way too long and I also lose interest after the second line because it is too long and it is very boring. We are instant gratification people, therefore when a person posts long postings like that it is normally utter crap ! But to get back to the "mixit" talk - In our industry people do themselves NO justice at all when communicating with us or a potential employer - they give the wrong impression - it looks like they can't read or write and definitely can't bother to put a proper sentence together. I and I know a few of our girls delete an e mail with this kind of mixit talk and we do this from past experience. I handle our Facebook work page and if I see a posting with da and all the other shortened version of talking that I have to actually read 3 times before I understand what is being said - I immediately delete it.
I also know our clients do NOT accept it - so as much as it has a place between friends it does not have a place in the workplace.
I guess I've been lurking too much around the Reddit forum users and bodybuilding.com miscers. Different forums, different styles
BTW I was REALLY surprised to find such and active forum that is South African based. Forums are awesome sources of information.
