Let's face it... any young person with a cellphone uses English as a second language.


For your convenience... a text-speak translator.

He now resides on my blacklist.
Text speak fine when texting but not for asking serious questions on TM.

And thanks all for the great advice.:)

Blam

chinamen is a slur, like the n word is to african americans. But not everyone sees it that way.

Chinamen Street?

I don't find it particularly racist. Depends on the context the word is used in though.

772541 2009-05-11 07:13:00 That dumbass seriously needs to learn to write English properly.....That's really not a nice thing to say about roddy_boy while he's banned. At least wait till he can reply :)

I know you didn't mean roddy_girl, but what the hell. A dig is a dig

772543 2009-05-11 15:40:00 A wonderful mixup here.

Half of you appear to be replying to one aspect of what's become a dual-subject thread - and half the other.
Trouble is some don't make it clear WHICH.

(Great comedy for an old-time radio duo.
OK Terry, here's your cue. I know you have heaps of choices...Well, remembering my childhood, I'd say so.
And if you then come up with something from the 20s, I'll retire in high dudgeon - once I've located a dudgeon & worked out how to make it high)

Edit: P.S. And all I originally wondered was which roddy boy effort he was banned for and - more interestingly - was HOW LONG FOR?
Still don't know that.

A dudgeon is a feeling of indignation so just get on a high horse and ride off into the sunset. Sorry Laura.:groan: Yep I couldn't sleep for worry about Roddy boy either!
