Dear Milan,

I have no idea what you do, where you are and how old you are. But it is safe to assume that you are much younger to me. So take this as an advice from an older brother ...

The written English that you are using is not a good style at all. Very soon it will become such a habbit that you may not be able to write properly at all. I do not know whether you are working or not - but in the corporate world, we are absolutely intolerant over such language even in speech! It is ok sometimes to use words like 'tonite' instead of 'tonight', etc. but that is the outer limit of the domain.

A point to be noted is, after 5-10 years in a technical field, you will rise up the corporate ladder solely on the (soft) skills like leadership, innovation and communication. I hate to see people going down the path that leads to problems (if not failure) and hence I always make it a point to correct them whenever I get a chance. This is my answer when you asked "what is your problem?". Call it my attitude or obsession.

Whitestar_999 and Admin were also right when they said that the style is that of uneducated people in the English speaking world. It is often heard in English movies and the same has been converted to written words. Some of us are blindly aping this and think that it is very cool. It definitely is not. One cannot twist a language and call it cool. The fad really started because of SMS and web chatting.

You said that you are a member of many other forums and never heard such comments there. So just ponder on this:

- What % of people on other (good) forums write the way you do?
- The best people out there will be most likely to be found to use proper language
- A forum that is full of people who write crudely is unlikely to be popular

To sum it up ...

The style is dangerous - it is like smoking - people find it initially cool and hep to smoke and later on they get hooked. There are few others on this forum to whom I have given similar advice (though not in so kind words).

Of course, if you are confident that writing like the way you do is not going to affect you at all, by all means do what you wish to do.

This is my final word and you will not hear any (nasty) comment from me again.

I don't know about milan but to be very honest i have taken the advice very seriously I used to put alot of slang language while writing my posts due to which sometimes I used to forgot the original spelling of the words...Therefore from today onwards I have made a point that I will not used any short cut of the word

Thx Just4kix......kidding....Thank You Just4kix

smoothvibes · 15-08-2008, 05:48 PM

I agree Milan

you can try this and Just4kix is elder to all of us... and he is not suggesting anything wrong.. but really Just4kix used strong words

kash136 · 15-08-2008, 06:23 PM

Hey big deal if he feels comfortable typin that way.. sometimes shortforms jus make it easeir to type.. no worries about grammer and puctuation.

but obviously when its overdone it sounds odd..

anyways.. back to the topic.

im not sure how it works.. but i use a 500C Plus connection and i never have to restart my modem for anythin. infact.. im scared of switchin it off and on in fears of whether i'll ever get a stable conenction again.

ive downloaded loads of data free.. and it never charges me anythin for the ones i download between 2-8.. im aware how bsnl tracks it.. but ive never had any problems of them overchargin.. i keep tabs on how much ive downlaoded in the bsnl site itself.. thats more than enough.

i really understand this bro that its time saving thing when we type but its sounds rude in professional environment

iorhld · 15-08-2008, 08:30 PM

i have suffered a lot because of using slang and short forms.as a result every now and then i have to turn on my cell phone dictionary to check my spellings.

BTW shouldn't we be discussing BSNL issues

Good point

We definitely should be discussing BSNL issues, but showing the right path is needed too.
