guilty po ako dito, yun hindi gumagamit ng capital letters and lots of typo error. pero may period naman po after ng sentence ko. nagmamadali lang akong mag type baka kasi mawala sa isip ko yun isusulat ko. siguro po wag naman masyadong mahipit, a simple PM would do sa mga SMS type na posts. hindi po lahat tayo magagaling sa english and sometimes filipino. Pero ako lang ito.

Mahirap kasi mag text ng full words kasi isang daliri lang per hand ang gamit. Kaya intindihin din natin yung mga short cut mag post. Yes, they have a full keyboard in front of them, pero baka naman isang finger lang ang meron sila per hand. PEACE!

OT: Congratulations ssaloon, moderator ka na pala. Regards to your Dad!

I think typos and minor grammatical errors are forgivable... huwag lang yung "shortened text" as the title of this thread implies. Peace!

yeah, i'm not familiar with SMS shortcuts. i really don't mind the typos and the occasional grammar error - after all, like someone above said: no one is perfect, especially not me.

but if i cannot even make sense of a reply, or get a headache playing 'fill in the blanks', i just don't read the post.

hmmmmm..

IMO, there is a really need for us... not to use the text lingo... though we say we are the texting capital of the world but still we must respect the ettiquettes on the board...

even for the moderators and poster and even I am guilty of this.. but we must bear in mind that we must respect others opinion as we respect them...

so my verdict is.. AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE DON'T USE TEXT LINGO..

probably, there will come a time na SMS shortcuts will be accepted worldwide.
it would be a part of man's evolution,
and we'll be the pioneers! ;)

sa city of manila, may mga sign na PED XING sa kalye,
Pedestrian Crossing pala yun?!

Good point Zero!

OT: International sign na ba yang PED XING? First time I saw it di ko maintindihan. Kala ko pedicab exiting or pedophile exercising along Roxas blvd.
