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.

    I go out of my way to make sure the posts I write are easy to read. If I can't be bothered to read what I've written, it needs rewriting.

    I wonder if some people do this too. I used to know someone who is sight impaired who'd write in text speak. She couldn't understand at all what problem I have with text speak - even when I said it's difficult to read. (it can take some time to work out what each word means)
