Deev question?

[djcaz_aom]

Most of the poor writing we get on here is followed by "sry im on my phone so excuse bad typin k?"

I've typed replies to threads on my phone, in my car, over the course of 3-4 stoplights. If i can type coherently then, then anyone else should have no excuse! I don't ask anything of anyone that I don't do myself.

Exactly my point. People want you to take the time to read and help out, but refuse to take the time to type correctly, be it via phone or computer.

Just imagine if we were to short cut on everything we did in life...

Kinda scary.

Then again, the "How do I lower my car for $29.95? or less", is just that, short cutting.

^^^Implying it's not exactly that bad already.

In related news, 90% of my posting comes from my phone and I refuse to let standards slip.

I'm exactly the same way. I don't have internet at my house so using my phone is my only option and I type as coherently and succinctly as I can. I've said it before, but this is an english speaking board, failure to write clearly fails to get your point across. People are also less likely to put out the effort to answer your questions if you don't put even the tiny effort required to make a clear, understandable post.

+ ppl will b rightin in responses lik dis on all threads. We wld b flooded w/ OMGs, LOLs, IMOs, etc.

Translated in proper text:

(Plus, people will be writing in responses like this on all threads. We would be flooded with oh my g*ds, Laughing out loud, In my opinion, etc.)

***It's hard enough to read some thread responses as it is now, imagine thread responses from a phone application!!!!

I had a hard enough time trying to read your example lol. If I wanted to see triple typing like that, I'd just stay on Facebook all day.

I've even instructed non-English speakers to post in their native language, and then follow it with a translation. One member does that regularly. He's difficult to understand, but he tries his best... and I appreciate that, and I help him whenever possible.

Those people that are fluent English speakers have NO excuse for typing nonsense. I see many Spanish speakers on this forum that have "accents" in their typing. Word usage that seems to be common among many people that speak Spanish more often than English in their day-to-day lives, and I know that it's a function of their understanding of language, and not a result of laziness. THAT isn't an issue at all.

It would actually be pretty easy to create an app for this forum.

It wouldn't hinder the security or stability of the forum at all.

I did some research and posted screen caps of my ideas but it is highly time consuming and I just don't have the time.

I wanted it to be similar to the xda app for android.

I have no problems with stuff like that, I, guess a better way to say it would be that this is a written language board, and if you type a post that nobody can understand, its just a waste of everyone's time.

Its funny you mention accents though, a friend of mine has a very heavy chinese accent, and he texts me the in the same broken english.
