My pet hates (some of)

Whilst I have a quick coffee break from packing orders

1. People who use text speak on forums. I cant read it and I cant understand it.
I dont like making phone calls and so have learnt finally how to text but just cant bring myself to use txt spk. By the time I have figured out how to shorten a word and worked out if it's appropriate for the person I am texting (ie do I need to sound intelligent?!) it's always quicker to write the whole word out in full anyway!

2. people who havent learnt the 'paragraph concept'
I have missed many a good debate I am sure due to never even getting past the first word. I look at the whole mass of words, think "eeek!" and pass on to the next post without reading.

These two are the most important things for forum posts I think. Spelling mistakes I can forgive. I find things like its it's your you're their there they're and so on annoy me a lot but at least I can read it. The above makes me not read posts which can be a shame for the person who wot wrote it
