Dave I agree - please take this in the spirit in which it is intended. I think you may have pressed the wrong key by accident whilst spelling grammar. (I am sorry I couldn't resist but mean it in good nature)

Errol--lazy illiterates is right -I despair when I hear the younger generation-the beautiful English Language I fear is doomed--most youngsters think grammer is A RELATIVE, Dave

I do not use text language but I actually like Thanx because it means a 'Ta with a kiss !!!!!' Joan

lol Errol... it's not just the text language though..The use of 'gonna' for going to, and 'I done it' (one of my most hated) so many.... Tina x

I refuse to use it on my mobile....and won't reply to it. (probably because I don't understand it) I, personally, think it's lazy. But, things change, and who am I to say it's wrong...I'll stay a dinosaur with the English Language. Tina x

Has anyone noticed how text language is creeping into everyday written grammer, instances like Thanx, M8, i can see in a couple of generations of our kids & their kids the english language will be gone. Brian
