I hate some of them, worst being ASL, now that is/looks so tacky. Whenever I see that I just imagine a spotty 13yr old salivating over a pc in anticipation of the forthcoming reply.
Another killer is the way some pronounce 'Cool' as in Kewl, that kills me, it really does.
A huge majority of the readership on this forum are over the age of 25. Some will know whats going on if you introduce some of this 'Yoof-speak'/text speak into posts, to others, it just goes straight over them.
Basically, and I could be wrong here, our forum readers don't really grasp this Youth-speak and would rather not see it here. Saying this does not mean don't post things like that here, feel free to write what you like but please hold back with all the 'Yoof-speak/text type of thing in your posts. If you find you can't contain your enthusiasm for this kind of thing then go off to the Yahoo forums or something like that where it is spoken with ease.
Keeping on an aviation theme now, I remember seeing a web-link somewhere that lead to a page with a whole list of acronyms for flying, anybody know the link?
