Well said, Chickenlady!

I am pretty clumsy with a keyboard so am pretty forgiving when someone's mistake is obviously a typo. If someone writes "belongng" it's reasonable to assume that they can really spell "belonging" for example. Sometimes we don't notice typos even when when we look for them, as we see what we think we've written rather than what is actually there.

My bugbear is text speak. I don't use it myself even for text messages, but can accept it as a result of the limitations of writing on a mobile phone's keyboard. I can NOT accept it in any other form of writing. If someone can't be bothered to type "your" instead of "ur" I can't be bothered to read what they've written. I suspect you may agree, Chickenlady - in which case any chance of a posting on this? I have a feeling it would be rather good.

Thankfully very few people here use text speak when posting.
