posted more in response to Stan's comment than the actual write.

does text-speak bug you?

i've let u, ur, LOL & tho slip into use- but generally i avoid it.
i'm a slow reader & awful at spelling, so for me text-speak amounts to a whole new language to work out & decode.

ROTFL? really?

more than seeing it on screen, i hate hearing it in spoken conversation... now that really gets me!

a funny thing happened really funny- and she saw face unmoving eyes staring straight ahead no trace of a smile- "lol" she said lol? npmpilsh. wrote this a while back. it REALLY happened like that. i couldn't believe it & found the whole thing ridiculously funny. my niece actually says "OMG" & "LOL" in everyday, face-to-face, conversation. & she's come out with a few more which totally baffle me. (really didn't need a "sorry" from you- i'm so glad for you reading & the warm welcome, lovely comments. i just wondered how others feel about the dreaded text-speak) do you know that france has a committee-type-thing to either allow or block new words from entering into their official language? so they blocked "email" & came up with an alternative.... i don't know what else they blocked. or what they let in.

If someone actually says OMG or LOL out loud and I hear them, they get a number 3 frown. This will usually make them either vomit on themselves or cry hysterically. Number 4 frowns are reserved for people who bump into me on trains and the parents of children who play loudly near me in restuarants and the recipient is struck dumb for two weeks. I have only ever used a number 5 frown once, at the man who made loud comments during my wedding reception and he burst into flames

Blimey, lavadis, let's hope you never develop a number 6! Re textspeak - can't stand it (agree with Stan), but in this case it fits the poem rather well (as I mentioned on said poem). http://www.ukauthors.com

The Other Terre...

Yeah I don't like ROTFL, my writing's so funny I want people to be Pissing Their Trousers Laughing (PTTL), not rolling on the bloody floor.
