Feedback concerning language use

Please show other editors the basic courtesy of communicating with them in English. Txt speak and simplified spelling are not appropriate on Misplaced Pages; this applies to talk pages , user talk pages and edit summaries , all of which are means to communicate with others, not ways to express our own individuality. Communicating in a way that excludes people who don't understand the abbreviations is counterproductive, and especially on article talk pages but also user talk pages, you can't know that all the people who will need to read and follow the conversation are fluent in txtspeak, or capable of interpreting, say, "wut" as "what". Your other contributions show that you are obviously capable of using standard English. It would be courteous if you would stick to that variety everywhere on Misplaced Pages - the only possible exception might be if you are conversing with somebody who has said explicitly that they think it's acceptable, on their talk page or yours, but it might not be OK even then. Thank you very much! --bonadea contributions talk 12:12, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

OOOOPS wut did i do this time.... i will try not to do that so much, but that's how i like to talk (becos it is how we talk where i am from), but I can talk normal if i have to. thx.--Bad edits r dumb (talk) 12:14, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

on a side note, one time i travel to all the foreign countries where they speak english and even the people who do not speak english very well they know all the text speak and when they send me I.M. "wat do u want" instead of "What do you want?" becos they are cool. this does not matter very much, but it is interesting, in my opinions. It means that everybody likes to talk to that, and they love it.--Bad edits r dumb (talk) 12:17, 26 September 2010 (UTC)
