Is It Too Much To Ask?
107 Answers
I have just read a thread with a reply that I simply cannot understand as it is using abbreviations/street slang/local dialect/I don't know what.
When such posts are queried the questioner is frequently vilified with a similarly unintelligible response.
Can anyone please tell me why adults feel the need to use such inane phrasing that is to many of us complete gibberish? If it was an obvious short cut I would understand but quite frequently the gibberish word is longer than the dictionary listed version.
We have a hard enough time struggling through posts that are poorly punctuated and have a total absence of paragraphs, to add translating gibberish just adds to the mire.
Given that this a Q&A site it would be a good thing if both the Q&A were easily understood?
