Ed Why Must I Abandon My Style?

[ToraToraTora]

I use hyperbole, acronyms, some slang yes but they are well known to the regulars and mostly obvious. This site is largely conversational we are writing like talking, do you really want us all to turn into Jane Eyre? Do you really want to turn this site into a soulless humourless bore-athon? I agree that several members would like that, I think most would not. I suspect you'll tear this straight down too but give it a thought, I hope you want the site to continue, as do I but if it becomes so insipid is it worth it.

Poor you....poor, poor you....

You've been told often enough to post like a rational human being but you seem to think you have, or ought to have, some sort of special dispensation.

You don't; so welcome to the world of every other Aber.

I want you to not disguise swear words in your questions or answers. This is a family friendly website.

I quite like your style. Sometimes you annoy me, but that's normal on here! I mostly agree with what you say, but I guess we must all abide by the rules!

I too like 3Ts rhyming slang , I like second guessing what it means

[SparklyKid]

Hi Bobbs, me too,lol.

[Bobbisox1]

Hi Sparkle, we don’t have rhyming slang up here...just slang haha

[bednobs]

there are plenty of people who don't follow all your posts avidly and note down your current acronym du jour. I sometimes barely have any idea what you are saying. They probably seem "obvious" to you, but that's because you made them up!
it does make me laugh that you moan about the incomprehensibility of other posters while remaining pretty incomprehensible yourself.

I don't think the rhyming slang is the main issue, it's the disguised swear words, but most people do that, even NJ. :o)

/// well known to the regulars ///

For newbie's enlightenment: "regulars" is slang for TTT's clique.

[Togo]

Keep on keeping on TTT. But keep out of the dressing up box.

[Bobbisox1]

Canary does this mean I’m a cliquette now :0)

[SparklyKid]

Wow, that was quick. I meant no disrespect. I just find some posters answers difficult to decipher..

[woofgang]

I assume if people aren't writing in plain English its because they don't want to be understood....sometimes its worth the struggle, often not.

Gosh . West Side Story unfolds on Answerbank featuring the Sharks and the Cliques. Bags I be in the cliques.

Is it alright to post:

You use anagrams of words because you know the filter will pick up the correct spellings and stop them appearing.

You use rhyming slang for offensive words and you use acronyms for offensive phrases because you know that not everyone is aware of their meanings.

In what way is that meant to be humorous?

If folk on here wrote in the same way as their conversations, would you be all right with the "effing and blinding" being uncensored?

You are a bit too old to be playing a cockney spit. Try the normal English language, I find your * speech* very immature .
