YES, IT IZ.

LOL!


Well text speak is always unnecessary – I refuse to use it even in texts. I’ve even asked people to send me messages again “in English”.

See not even any punctuation. Urgh, I think I just upset myself by writing that! I imagine a spell check would have a fit!

There's no requirement for perfection in the spelling and grammar department, just some kind of evidence of appropriate effort. It is important, it affects everyone who reads the forums.

As I say, I don't have a problem with it, except for text speech because that is just lazy. All I'm saying is I understand why people do get irritated by it!

People have been great to me as a n00b too :)

I think Chris maybe expects us to love absolutley everything 100% of the time, but it's also true that the biggest fans of things are also the harshest critics. Also, you tend to only remember the bad things.

But Chris - I still love it every morning :D

You joined in 2003.

How the hell you are a 'n00b' is beyond me.

You are though.

Of course that's why we all joined, the show is great. But giving criticism where it's due is important.
