Why is it that people have become so lazy in their speech they can’t even be bothered to type the word YOU, and the inability to capitalise at the correct places,
It may be just a chat forum, but laziness and ignorance, has no excuse.

I believe that a question mark is appropriate when asking a question Tiler. It looks something like this :arrow: :?:

18 September, 2006 at 2:32 pm #241879I’m sorry…
18 September, 2006 at 2:40 pm #241880Why, it was meant for AW.
18 September, 2006 at 2:43 pm #241881I’m still sorry :lol:
18 September, 2006 at 3:00 pm #241882I’m a firm believer in good english…not too bothered about the correct grammar…but I hate this text speak…if I do use abbrieviations it is only on my mobile and only because it might take two messages to send if it isn’t shortened
most JCers are illiterate anyway so I wouldn’t worry too much about it :wink: 8)

Without wishing to be unduly pedantic Tiler, but conventionally one does not end a sentence with a comma. (See your original post).
Equally, when asking a question (characterised by the use of the word ”why” amongst others) and whether musing or not – it is customary to place a question mark at the end of that sentence (and NOT a comma).
18 September, 2006 at 5:13 pm #241884Makes me laugh all the post that pop up about grammer sloppyness in this that and tuther
Im as thick as pig sh ite and im in a very well paid job im in a good potition
I carnt spell very well yet there are people who have been to uni coming for jobs at our place who aint got a f00king clue
As for text wrighting on here carnt see the problem if its quicker to answer and the other peeps can understand it why is it a problem
Im sure there must be some sites out there full of well spoken people
Who use the correct grammer words full stops
But bet its as boring as f00k
