My brother has a nasty habit of using ome in place of home.
You're saving 1 letter FFS!

Edit - I use abbreviation without even noticing sometimes! But do notice the correct use of You're :)

Hex to char conversion C8 = H, C5 = E, E7 = X.

And talking of annoying things some newpapers are difficult to beat,

‘Tiger Woods Plays With Own Balls, Says Nike’
This just in! ‘Diana Was Still Alive Hours Before She Died’
‘Hooker Named Lay Person of the Year’

Yes I thought so, hex colour code.. I didn't want to say in case I was wrong. I thought two things;
1 hex and 2, server coding.

@Looby&Lew spelling mistakes i can live with, i make enough of them myself, but i was specifically referring to text talk like 'w8 4me' etc . . . and expressions like 'coolio' and 'innit'. I would never criticise anyone for making spelling mistakes.

My pet hate as frequent report writer and reviewer is not the abbreviations or the text speak but the bullshit used by managers to make themselves look intelligent. Oops did I say that out loud (think inner voice Looby)

Slightly to one side of the topic (yes I hate text speak) but I had to share this. Even a university educated matron didn't see why this was wrong... in a Wigan hospital!

Hmm interesting point.
However my friend, some say it's actually the correct way of spelling a cubical in a hospital as opposed to a cubicle - in a desk/office arena.
Frustrating I know, as I'm not one for poor grammar shall we say but aye this is true..

However, in UK English, no it's NOT correct... And here is my argument for poor Americanisation of the English Language
