I think I should point out we dont have a problem with people under 25. I meet a lot of people younger than this that are mature and switched on. By the same token I meet a few 40 year olds that are not :biggrin:

 

Ditto you can't pigeon hole an irritant.:thumbup:

Yes please, and can we have more parentheses while we're at it.

Do you want more of what the English call parentheses or more of what the Yanks call parentheses? Though both do pretty much the same thing, unless we're writing maths that is.

I'm slightly concerned by the fact that I could read that faster than I can normally read!!

Well I'm 29 and text speak, poor punctuation and poor annunciation all drive me nuts. That said, it's something that has always annoyed me, so I don't think that it's an age thing. Language is only truly valuable when it's universally understood (amongst those who claim to speak it).

 

Yaffle Trees - ditto! Didn't have any problems reading that at all!
