630814 2008-01-16 09:04:00 Jan, any chance that the 'Proper English' clause could be added back into the rules? It used to be there, and now it isn't... Erayd (23)
630815 2008-01-16 09:18:00 It would be difficult to police. I'm sure the mods don't want more on their plate.

Most young people have a text phone and use it these days, texting is second nature to them.

They are communicating the necessary information with the least number of key presses and are not aware that "English as she is wrote" is preferable.
