Thank you for your comment and support. We are really concerned about the textese's widespread. Not using capitals are considered the textese as well. It may take seconds for you to press the shift key when you type. If you don't want to press the shift key, you can type in MS Word first and post.
I will try to clear up messages with the textese. If you want me to help you in answering your questions, please use Standard English when you post. This will increase productivity in the forum. We are all educated here. I hope that you understand.
I will not give an infraction to those who have limited knowledge of grammar or spelling. However, using capital letters at the beginning of sentences, not using excessive abbreviation such as, u, thy, thx, and intentionally leaving out too many punctuations such as (.), (?), ('), (i m) are considered the textese. We all studied basic grammar rules about capital letters, punctuations, and correct spelling of you, your, thanks, and some easy words since our elementary school. Any message contains such textese will be given infraction.
For example, if you post "ca' instead of "CA", it may be interpreted as Ca++ or California. We want to prevent confusion. Another example is that if you type, "ph" instead of "pH", it will cause confusion as well. In the future, we have to deal with life threatening issues so it is better to communicate and give information as clearly as possible. Therefore, please use Standard English. Every one studied Standard English.
In addition, English language is the only medium used in our communication. We rely on your typing. Please try to post proper English so that others can understand your posts and help to answer your questions.
