yep, great minds think alike ! or is that fools seldom differ ?

Anyway thanks for the translations timber. Much appreciated, but keep them coming.

And fellow addicted poster, of course!!!

Fraid to say you cant beat plain old typing, cant stand all these abbreviations, makes reading hard work,
What does anyone else think?

Agreed for the most part. I can cope with a little bit of the obvious stuff, but don't generally use it myself. I studied English at Uni - it goes against all my principles!!!!

was reading a report a while back that was discussing computers and play stations etc. It said that in a few hundred / thousands years (cant remember the exact number) we will all be chosing our husbands/wives on the basis of the size of their fingers !!!!!

(personally I still prefer muscles )

Yeah, but which muscles?

Im with Sandra & bundy Im afraid, although I know all the ones above (plus a whole heaps more) theres not too many I use apart from the internet ones like LOL & ROFL & a couple of others (btw is one that springs to mind).

It might be easy for someone to type shorthand, but it makes it bloody hard for most people to read!

Perhaps the Webmasters could provide a convert to english button

Or just try reading this for a while LMAOOO

Haha, I've seen that one before, mind you, I dont have to go back very far to see it

lmao try this 1

OK, so what does LMAOOO stand for ? I guess the first bit is laughing my ass off, but what are the last two letters standing for ?

i was excited LOL apologies > plus i have a BIG ASS !!
