Perfectly true, I can read that once, at near normal reading speed, and understand it perfectly. Which I can't do with Jons. But I know now after someone explained it.

The thing with Jons is there are 3 levels . Initial posts sent from home on his pc , lap top or whatever are " entry level " posts . The next degree up are the " off out " posts . The ultimate challenge are the " down the pub on cizzer " posts sent from his phone . This is where the enigma machine come into play .....

I try not to use text speak and put punctuation in it's right and proper place but then again, 99% of what I post is mindless bollocks and probably wrong anyway so its swings and roundabouts.

Language is generally getting worse anyway regardless of age, I blame the internet:001_rolleyes:

 

Seriously though, there are some 40 plusses who wouldn't know what punctuation is if it came up and bit them on the arse, and some 40 minuses that are word whizzes. You can't tar everyone with the same brush:biggrin:

 

I have found that internet forums tend to bring out the laziness in some people some of the time (I have been guilty myself)... But others are just lazy all of the the time. It's not hard to write sentences in the correct English language and structure.

Does it really matter though? Is it not about the language evolving?

I can read that ok, can also read upside down and back to front with no problem, though struggle with Jon's posts sometimes punctuation has never been my strong point though I always try and spell correctly, though sometimes it goes astray usually when tired or ranting lol, oops hang on I've used a smiley and a lol does that make me sub 25? instead of my 38 years ?
