That is shocking. A waste of money.

I dont expect it cost anything. Simply the Head of LGfL who has shared their idea. LGfL do this a lot with our software. The hosting company is free for them (I know).

That poster is dire.
I can easily read it but it just seems like adults trying to "keep up with the kids" and failing. It just doesn't work.

 

[gareth.e]

Why is an institution promoting the destruction of written word?
The next wave of kids wont even learn to spell real words, how long until reading them is done away with in favour of "txt ***".

Its for text messages and internet chat rooms. I sometimes shorten words in texts and msn. Sometimes the correct spelling is avoidable and text speak can be used. That doesn't mean anyone wants to use text speak in essays or important documents. Text speak isn't acceptable in school and it never will be. Texts and chat rooms are, shock horror, not school - children and adults alike will be lazy.

Talk about 'holy over reaction batman!'.

A lot of people I talk and text to dont use most of those words on that poster at all

 

[Tom2k8]

Well isn't that just awful.

 

[jas72]

I love it.

Reminds me to play some more COD4 tonight.

Limiting language like this limits ones ability to think and express themselves, is this a deliberate action with ulterior motives?

LOL, you maybe onto something there.

 

[magick]

Couldn't understand much of it myself. No wonder a lot of todays kids are so dumb.

 

[strudey]

No-one else think it's meant to be humourous?

 

[lokkers]

Gave up after the first line - I'd understand more if it was printed in a foreign language

 

[Strife212]

I have never sent a text message in my life and type and write perfectly well but I can read that instantly like normal text.

Its easy

Although a bit extreme, does anyone actually really talk like that?

What, like an informational poster on internet safety, displayed IN SCHOOLS? Did you even read the thread? Jesus... the poster even says in massive letters "FOR PUPILS". Holy learn to read, batman!
