I think everyone knows what txt is.
It's just that most of us prefer to use the full richness of the English language, the language of Chauser, Milton and Shakespeare, rather than voluntarily stunt our own communication.

Communication is all that sets us apart from the apes.
I for one would rather not regress.

To be fair Shakespeare, and Chaucer mainly didnt use the language we are used to today, their langauge was created phonetically, as was his. Not that i am comparing him to fantastics poets like Chaucher or anything.

Blimey, the kid is posting his opinion and people are ripping into him because he's using text speak and spelling a few things wrong.

Brighton - the tolerant society? Don't make me laugh.

As an old man, I didn't understand a word of his post.

If kids want to communicate like this, fine but, if this is a message board
for all Albion fans, can we use a language that we all understand?
 










With hym ther was his sone, a yong squier,
A lovyere and a lusty bacheler;
With lokkes crulle, as they were leyd in presse.
Of twenty yeer of age he was, I gesse.
Of his stature he was of evene lengthe,
And wonderly delyvere, and of greet strengthe.
And he hadde been somtyme in chyvachie
In Flaundres, in Artoys, and Pycardie,
And born hym weel, as of so litel space,
In hope to stonden in his lady grace.
Embrouded was he, as it were a meede,
Al ful of fresshe floures, whyte and reede;
Syngynge he was, or floytynge, al the day,
He was as fressh as is the monthe of May.
Short was his gowne, with sleves longe and wyde.
Wel koude he sitte on hors, and faire ryde.
He koude songes make, and wel endite,
Juste, and eek daunce, and weel purtreye and write.
So hoote he lovede, that by nyghtertale
He slepte namoore than dooth a nyghtyngale.
Curteis he was, lowely, and servysable,
And carf biforn his fader at the table.

I have been thinking, before, about Michael Adams, and which personnel he should attempt to attract to our association football team.

To my mind, the fellows that left, did not in fact regularly make the starting eleven last season, and so;

The areas, in which I feel we need to develop the squad, are;


An association footballer, in the style of Mr Charles Oatway, who is not scared of the rough and tumble of a midfield battle.

Another, in the playing style of Mr Dean Hammond, who may contribute some goals.

A left-half or a centre-half. Just one of these gentlemen are required, as Mr Joel Lynch is able to accomodate either position on the field.

I believe that we can achieve promotion in the forthcoming season, though I do appreciate that it is a difficult proposition.

It is however, within the realms of possibility.

Michael Adams knows this, I myself know this, and you fellows believe this too.

It will be difficult. Indeed, it may be rather frightening, but if we persevere, right until the end, your lives will be changed.

What's so hard to understand? ???

Stop being so f***ing precious. Text speak is fine for texting and if he was using a portable device like a blackberry maybe, but if you are in front of a proper keyboard then why type like a spaz?

Why do you assume he is NOT posting from a Blackberry? Half of my posts are - they are the ones with all the typos.

anyway, back to the original post

we need a left back, a winger or two, a central midfielder and perhaps a back up striker

I think we need TWO left-backs, as Lynch, promising centre-half though he is, is GASH there.

Definitely a centre-mid.

Definitely a left mid.

Also another centre-back if El Abd doesn't sign.

If he was I would have though the first thing he'd post once people started ripping the piss is "leave me alone I'm posting from a blackberry for fucks sake"
or more probably "leav me lone dis from blakberi ffs".

Here we go, it's the off season and people have to find something to moan about. I'm from a generation where they barely had computers of any kind (I know, I worked on one which took up the size of a basketball court and was dumber than the cheapest Blackberry). I managed to decipher what the bloke was saying).

Think some people could do with getting a life.
 


I think we (nearly) all managed to decipher it. But it did take me about 5 minutes, rather than simply being able to write it.

Given that someone has interpreted what was initially written, let me interpret, for the original poster, the (ill put across) message from other posters is;

Please would you write out whole words it will make it much easier for us to understand, and make it more likely that you will get sensible replies.

Thanks :thumbsup:
