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:

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

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]

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:

I guess it is (possibly indirect) a result of the economic growth. :)

I guess it can be linked to that - it's mostly the popularity of SMS and now Twitter though.

the way Q&A section is heading, I have a strong feeling it will lose its essence soon... I mean most of the questions are so basic and mostly homework questions.. Coders don't even try to search them on the web as most of them are answered here... :mad: I don't feel like going there again.. :sigh: Welcome to Lounge... ;P :-\ :thumbsup:

When someone is learning all questions are difficult for him/her. The important thing is not the complexity of the question and/or if it is related to homework or not. The important thing is that they show interest and try it themselves before asking. On the other hand... ther are sometimes that even the newbies have questions that can just break your head. Do you know this story? A truck gets stuck on a tunnel and can not move wether forward nor backwards. Different groups of engineers come, firemen, police come with machines and start thinking on what to do to get the truck out of the situation and unblock the road. Some start saying: "We should do a square cut about the stucked area on the top of the truck, so he can move backwards" Others answer: "We should try to fix the structure of the tunnel and push the truck with some lines connected to other trucks" Others say.... And a little girl 4 years old looking at the whole circus from her parents' car just ask a policeman standing close-by... "Why don't they just deinflate the wheels a bit?"

Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpfull answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

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]

Now the question is... Sorry about the Q/A-comment or about the sms-spelling? ;P

Try to use full words, grammer and comprehendible sentences.

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

It is also necessary to either:
Remove the SHIFT and CAPS LOCK keys.
or
Remove the CAPS LOCK key and force the SHIFT keys to be constantly depressed.Either way, text speak makes me constantly depressed. :sigh:

I didn't mean that. What I mean is, someone may have a genuine issue to start with, but i saw many cases where once a question is answered, they start asking STEP 2, STEP 3 (next steps) and so on without making effort to solve it. This is what i felt and wanted to express. :|

Ah, so there are exceptions to the no-punctuation rule. :p
