As a suggestion, I think it would be a good idea to make it a rule to use correct grammar and keep out the computer lingo as it's very confusing with new young members coming on and not understanding a word they are saying. Esp if it's with the health of their pet and we aren't able to help them because we aren't able to understand what they're saying. Obviously I'm not saying be perfect.. but I think you all know what I'm talking about seeing some of the posts and being very confused! ??

Sorry if I've spoke like that sometimes. I don't think I have though, except for "Lol"

We've asked members not to use text talk in the guidelines. I'm too old to understand it and have no desire to learn it either!
While it certainly does make posts easier to read when the grammar and spelling are spot on, we don't want to make people feel unwelcome if their spelling and grammar isn't perfect. Plus some people don't have English as their first language which can make it harder for them to convey something.
So all we ask is that people do their best to make sure their own posts avoid text talk and are easy to understand, and that when people do make mistakes, we give them a little leeway!
