Hots on Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Is spelt with an 'i' dear Sheffielders. There is no such word as 'rediculous'. That's all, carry on. Have you taken an "E"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Gobby Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I have to admit my grammar isn't that good, but i do like to see good grammar and spelling used.Unfortunately the use of TEXT on mobile phones is killing the art of good writing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I write in text speach on my mobile phone which is where it should, in my opinion, be the ONLY place it should be used. For any other writing - on forums, in letters, debates, etc - correct writing skills should be used. Unfortunately, there are far too many young people who haven't, as yet, grasped that there is a difference and seem to think that "text speach" is actually the "correct" way of writing!

discodown Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I write in text speach on my mobile phone which is where it should, in my opinion, be the ONLY place it should be used.Why should it be used there? I can appreciate that text messages used to be expensive and you needed to shorten things but these days most people have thousands as part of their package. Theres no need to use it at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't have too though. If I am forced to send a Text message,which,admittedly,I do try to avoid,I still write everything out in full and try to punctuate it to the best of my ability.

Theres no need to use it at all I personally just find it easier and quicker to write in "text" on my mobile - it's just my own preference. BUT, the difference is I know when to use and when NOT to use it!!! Unfortunately, as I have previously said, a lot of young people simply don't and just take text speach as being the "norm".
