Your punctuation is fine. However, I would prefer it if you spelt okay the same way I did. Acceptable as your spelling of the word is, I feel mine is more professional.

I shall pretend you never called me micro penis, not because it was spelt wrong, nor because of a grammatical error. Purely because I am embarrassed and the truth has hurt me.

have been working since i was 7-8 in farms when i was growing up in NI ( had to help after me dad fooked off with his tart ) not full time but enough to piss off the TRUANT officer to the point where they gave up when i got to secondery school never been on the dole and never will be

but my spelling is shi* sometimes which my friends and family help with

but it was worth it cas my bro diddnt have to do as much as me and he walked out of school with 5 - 6 a-b o levels

watching him open the letter and the smile on his face a proud smile

made it all worth wile

i get along doing security it`s ok puts food on the table

he is a engineer and a good one

sometimes i feel more like a dad to my bros and sisses

also had a head injury when i was 3-4 left me with a bad short term memory which don`t help when the wife has a memory like a elophant

totaly different for me, once peole know i'm dyslexic and understand that the knock i got to my head when i was 17 really fucked me up (not that i mind peole taking the piss when i don't understand stuff, even when it's a joke and has to be explained )it's not really a hindrance here or in real life

and seeing as most corespondance is now generated on a computer, simple things like speel checking sort those problems out

and don't forget, schools have been off/will be off around this time so lots of young uns will be posting crap (skyline engine in an escos? )

I used 2 type lyk dis al d time cos i used 2 fink it was kl and it wud nt take as lng 2 type.

But I find now that I type things a lot quicker just by spelling them properly as I have gotten so used to writing proper university reports and essays for so long I can just bash out proper sentences much more quickly than stupid 13 year old text talk

I can't stand all the "txt" speak stuff on forums - in fact I don't like it even on text messages! I often end up sending two texts instead of one just because I spell the words out correctly in English

I'm not adverse to a bit of short hand here and there : cos, txt, tho, deffo, that kinda thing, but it's the ;

"wat u lot fink bout ma cosworf, i fink its g8 n i rly like dat rs500 chin spoiler, its wikid"

That sort of shit pisses me right off

yes i have got quite a fat prick, but as you are trying to insult me by calling me a fat prick i feel it only right to point out a few things to someone who obviously finds it difficult to hate the silly spellings and stupid short versions of words in our language, so go back off to the top of the page and read what i wrote again.... it is writen as an observation not as a dig. but you saw/see it as a pop at people hence the stupid headmaster comment which quite frankly was not funny and rather CHAV of you.

I din'nt see it as a dig, i thought it was amusing and i did explain that i can't for some uknown reason do smiley faces and crying faces etc etc i was just jumping on the band wagon and you though i was digging at you if thats the case(SORRY). You managed to start the insults(PISS FACE) so i gave back.

100% agree Lee . I cant spell to save my life and taking notice at school was somthing i thought was for snooty kids hence my bad grammer and spelling.
I do hate "text talk " tho and as said just simply will NOT reply to text"s sent like that , Having said that i dont reply to any text"s anyway if you want to speek to me then ring me you tossers , just because you get a zillion free text"s with your contract dont use the fookers with me
