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 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]

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

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?"
Regards. -------- M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? 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.

I thought the point was that little people (midgets) are more intelligent than average people (they are, after all, just average).

Unfortunately you are correct. While I agree that some people who demand things can be irritating, I won't get away from trying to contributing whatever little I can. Because there are genuine queries too! I stay away from people who won't put in any effort themselves. They'll eventually be getting no help and learn their lesson.

I still type full words and complete sentences (for the most part) on my iPhone as a matter of principle.

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.

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:

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.

You know, there was a time when that was a complement to the average, hard working programmer. Of course, that type of developer never used those namby-pamby, coddling, high level languages like C. Or at least so I've observed from a respectable distance. Brevity is not among my faults. :)
