Hey guys, can we please refrain from using chatspeak such as 'r', 'c', 'u', etc. anywhere on the forum? It may be helpful in IM's, but it also gives the forum sort of a spammy look. I, myself, am guitly of using chatspeak on the forum when I first came, but I no longer use it. It deters some users from joining or coming back to the site.

Thanks.

I've given up using chatspeak on IM's...It confuses me especially when I come on here, and then on MSN or something and also typing out Homework stuff. I just type out all the letters...well not sometimes!!!

And H.Q, it's worried, with an "i"! :lol:

It confuses me, too. I don't understand a lot of my friends who use it in every word. I prefer to type out all of the letters, though sometimes I do occasionally slip out a 'u'.

Any orders??
