OK, so I'm in a bad mood, but I'm getting increasingly pigged off with people using abbreviations when posting questions and answers. It is difficult enough for a fluent speaker to understand them, heaven knows how people who are learning the language cope. If these boards are here to help people learn English surely we should ensure that, within their capabilities, they use a recognised - and recognisable - form of the language. Apart from clarity it would set a good example.
Can we get some moderation on this?
What do others think?
My comments only apply to the 'technical' areas and exclude 'social' forums like this (but it still pigs me off here - well, I said I was in a bad mood).
