This is my pet hate! I often find myself reaching for my red pen to correct posts and emails! I see other clubs list events on A Nother swinging site and I hold my head in my hands at the spelling and grammar; it is SO unprofessional! In the days of spell checkers, businesses especially should be double checking their entries online, in order that they portray the right online presence. I understand that some people have learning difficulties, but again...spell checker! Type your entry into a Word document first and it even suggests any grammar alterations that may be apparent.
On a social level, I think text speak on emails and forums is sloppy. It says that I don't really have the time or want to put in the time to make an effort with this conversation and I don't care what people think about me. Text speak should be kept to phones. I understand that many people access forums on phones, but this does not mean that they should resort to text speak online. Grrrrr
If this makes me a grumpy old fart, then so be it, but I would walk on by if someone emailed for a potential meet in text speak.

I did get a notice removed from a local swimming pool where the management would not 'except' responsibility for items not placed in lockers. Very worrying
We agree totally, No to text talk it maybe, wrongly, gives an impression of a person, and not always a good one, even if that impression is totally wrong the damage is often done, we would presume the majority of people suffering with text talk are those like ourselves (a little over 30 ish ) We don't feel its our responsibility, to learn a new version of the English language, so we can understand a younger generation when they have had access to the same language as us during their school years !! Rant Over !!

Short hand like "u", "k", and similar don't bother me. But fuck, please use the correct "your", "you're" and "two, too, to" hehehehehe

Cannot stand and any message sent like that will get a sarcastic reply from me...especially as on my profiles on sites I do say that I am a sapiosexual......
Now there's an educated term We've not heard for a while !! How refreshing !!
Another person in agreement here! I delete messages containing 'u', 'wat' and other similar terms. (I also despise the use of 'hun', 'hunni', 'babe' and 'doll' - argh!!!!)
If a profile is a shop window to entice someone in (and I am well aware that our profile text currently leaves a lot to be desired!) then a first message to someone is akin to unsolicited/ junk mail - without something to make it alluring or interesting (which 'txt spk' certainly is not!) it will go straight into the (recycling) bin!

I'm with Mrs! ^^
It's true though, as the first message to someone, it's critical and can be the make or break.
The "Hi hun wuup 2nite" messages just won't cut it.
No one is saying you have to write war and peace, but blimey.. Add some creativity!
That doesn't mean 'Ello darlin' either.
