A friendly reminder

[bsherman]

Thanks, you know I do LOL when I see some of the great pictures on Pet of the Day. Have a good one.

LOL!Slang....one of my favorites....but I usually use that on MSN only....but sometimes on here I do when I have to(hafta one of my most often used) hurry, parents calling. I know(and kno is DEFINITLY a habit) adults can't stand slang, it's(oh and itz a favorite of mine) just something they just can't usually get, I'm teaching all of it to my mom for her msn. I'm definitly not against it, I find it MUCH easier to type! But for those people who are form different places your right about that!

[guineapiglover4ever]

okay

[Mkitty]

I agree, even though i do it! I'm 13, so I obviously do it a lot, but I now only use slang in pm's with people who are ok with it and understand it, and I don't do it with posts usually. I don't capitalize all the time though! Thanx Karen! lol Thanks! I do that sometimes too!

[cookieluver7]

I'm sorry Karen, I do that a lot. I always write things like b/c for because, and u instead of you, ppl instead of people, g2g instead of got to go, etc. Thanks for the reminder to help me remember that I'm not chatting online with my friends, but with people from all around the world who don't know what all of this means. I will try harder to not use these abreviations.

[guineapiglover4life]

I so agree! Chatspeak makes me...ughh...puke! Spray chatspeak-be-gone on all the inproper grammer posts!

[carole]

cookieluver7 you are not alone here, when I first joined I too used chat talk, as I was new to the internet and had just learned it, and was enjoying my new skill, but i soon realised it was not really appreciated on PT by many, so I made the changes, and it was no big deal. I still use the odd one like BTW by the way, and LOL laugh out loud, but that is about it nowadays.

One has to go with the majority.

[hamsterman]

ok karen

[Vette]

Uhoh. im in trouble then. i never have used that slang stuff but i never have added commas and stuff like that to where they belong.

hope i dont get into too big of trouble. can everyone understand me okay?

[Lexi_Lover]

Would we still be aloud to use LOL and PT


See, you read it Just kidding!

[luvofallhorses]

I think that that is great that you asked that it kind of bugs me too even though I sometimes get lazy and use unproper punctuation and capitilization but thanks for bringing it up, Karen

[Suki Wingy]

I try to type w/ correct capitalazation and gramar, but sometimes I see it and I'm too lazy to go back and fix it. I like tying to desihper other people's codes! I am a really slow typer, so I like to abbriviate. I will never stop using "pics"!

[Harmanie]

I have a question, can I still say jk( just kidding)

[Karen]

You can, as long as you realize that many people won't understand that. Typing out "just kidding" is safest!

[Harmanie]

Okay, thats understandable.
