On another not I have never understood text-tardness as it seems to take more effort to write like that then 'proper'

The odd mistake is fine. Those quotes in my first post are not examples of odd mistakes.

Is there any form spell checker you can install on the board? Just a one click system to highlight any errors?

Though saying that, it would struggle with some of the shit in your first post

Firefox is the way forward tbh. Sometimes I get letters the wrong way round because of typing too fast and it picks up on that otherwise I wouldn't notice

I find it takes five times longer trying to decipher this stupid form of writing that people seem to adopt than reading proper English.

With regard to someone saying about it's only the English that do it - it's because only England has chavs that are impressed by this sort of illiteracy

If you using Firefox just right click on any text area and choose Add Dictionary.

Good post. Personally I'll never reply to something I have to read more than once. I come on here to read interesting stuff and for the banter, not to look at other peoples sheer laziness.

If its written like shit, don't reply. If no one replies then the problem will quickly clear up surely?
