Um, thanks gunnie. If you'd like to know, that's just a short hand. It makes typing something in a lot faster, and no one else seems to have had any problems reading my posts. I know many people, both here and elsewhere on the internet whose use the same system. In fact, nearly everyone here uses some form of shorthand when typing, simply to make it go faster. This is just a casual forum, it's not a site dedicated to fine language and typistry. These aren't essays we're writing, they are just posts asking and answering questions of what is a casual hobby for most people. The shorthand is fairly easy to understand if you just follow the sound the composed letters make when verbally pronounced. For instance, 'thanks' sounds like thnx. Furthermore, there are some phrases that are simply abbreviated on internet sites like this one. The most commonly used phrases here would be 'lol' for laugh-out-loud, or laughing out loud; 'lmao' is taken to mean laughing my ****** off. 'HTH' means 'hope it helps'
I thank you for bringing to light the fact that I don't always spell out every word I type, but it's part of a system that practically everyone here uses, and I do suggest that you acquaint yourself with this method, as you will encounter many, many others using it, and it will become a necessity if you wish to understand what people are trying to communicateto you here. Otherwise, you will find yourself having a very difficult time when you visit.
I also suggest that you aren't quite as cynical in your pointing out of other peoples mistakes. It won't win you many friendly voices here.
