You seem to be under some form of misapprehension here. Not everybody is comfortable with txtspk, and it is extremely irritating. We aren't all 14 year old giggling schoolchildren here, so we'd appreciate it if you could respond like a responsible adult.

Do you pay for complete words?

Unfortunately it's a recent Indian cultural development. People use txt-speak in forums, email, and even in official documents (including their resume). :sigh:

Try to use full words, grammer and comprehendible sentences.

I only read code that is properly formatted, adding PRE tags is the easiest way to obtain that.

Holy cow, and next you'll be telling me they get employment using txt speak as well.

Easy flick all the vowels (leaving I)from your keyboard and avoid using punctuation at all costs.

I mean most of the ques are so basic and mostly homewrk questions..

What, you were like born expert?! I don't mind answering basic questions. I've come a long way, and I remember posting basic queries here before a few years. I feel happy when I know that my answers have helped the enquirer learn something new, with no regards to the complexity of the query itself. Sometimes it is basic, other times it is challenging. But it's always fun. I'm also perfectly OK with assisting people solve their homework queries, as long as they are willing to put in efforts from their side. [Add] Hmm... You said sorry. :) [/Add]

Well if the person doing the hiring is also a txt-speak enthusiast, then a txt-speak resume may actually have an advantage over a regular one.

Yeah but I've heard iPads stop the text-flow though. :rolleyes:

Glad to hear it. Just a friendly tip, you might consider editing your post (to correct the spelling) to prevent others from mentioning your Lounge etiquette violation. :)

Wow - By apologizing here, you've basically given the middle finger to all the snarky replies you got, including mine. Damn you, and hope to see you around here from now on :thumbsup:

This already reads much better :D

Personally, I love the idea that Raymond spends his nights posting bad regexs to mailing lists under the pseudonym of Jane Smith. He'd be like a super hero, only more nerdy and less useful. [Trevel]
