Text speak - a request

stranger

As someone who is sight impaired, I really struggle to read, even more so if it's in text speak. As far as I'm aware, there is no character limit on this forum. (or if there is, it's big)

Can I please ask that people don't write in text speak or consecutive capitals? The latter gives the impression you're shouting and like text speak, is difficult to read.

  • Something I've seen work on other forums, stranger, is that whenever you see an abbreviation you ask them to expand on it.

    After a while it trains people into typing them out in full in the first place.

    Personally I've stopped reading some of the sub-forums because of the work I have to do to read just one post - I just go in, mark all as read, and move on.
