where was i when this party began!!!

missed rolling off my chair!

Jokes apart - a forum is almost always a place that 'gives more information' to people who are not necessarily part of the forum...

our interest to keep that channel of "Standard" communication should never be tampered with... with this present discussion we are wondering only about how we 'Post' not how its understood... the purpose is defeated, and we have to take the extra effort to make sure we are understood not jus "heard"

cheers to all the pundits!!

sorry but I read that as "dont dey give blow" (excuse the innuendo). Like you said @sanjayrai, no vowels required to interpret. In my case consonants changed.

With what we've done to our heritage, I don't find it surprising what were doing and will do to the adopted ones. But like many up in the thread feel, Standard is a standard because the majority choose it to be standard and it should be adhered to. Flow with the traffic/be the blond driving on the "wrong side of the road"/or create your own route (someone in the 16-17th century did get rid of the "thou"s and "art"s). In our case, most drivers do not understand "4ever" or whatever (I cannot even think of sms lingo to quote as examples)...
