Brain dead?

[Sh4rkyBloke]

Can someone please translate this for me - it was on a Facebook (oh, the shame) friend's wall from one of their other friends... cannot for the life of me see the point in typing like this...

"thankyu ws gna tel u otha day wen u n ian ws at ma mums bt dint lol n yh am gd tar :-) x x x x"

The woman concerned is in her 30s too!!!

</rant>

The mind boggles.......Surely it takes more effort to write syllables down like that than to actually write properly?


I deleted my base**** account yesterday. It's well bent.

All I can say is - I'm with you ... I can understand some of it ... but it takes longer to read and try and translate than it would have done if written properly.

 

[punkypossum]

That's not too bad - at least it's understandable! One of my friends puts posts on that you can't translate at all! (Will have to go hunting for an example now)

Thank You, I was going to tell you the other day when you and Ian was at my Mums but didn't. Laughs Out Loud. And yes I am good thank you very much.

Thanks to the fine purveyor of feckwittery 'Ianrauk jnr' for the translation

Cheers. So not only is the text appallingly bad, it's also grammatically incorrect... why doesn't that surprise me?

Feckwittery in all but name...

What is the point? I can understand using text language on a mobile as typing can be tricky (I insist on using proper spelling and punctuation though) but on a computer with a full sized keyboard, it's as easy to write properly.

I'm ashamed.... I could read that without any problem. Not that I use it myself.

My mother of 64 sends me texts ... U ok 2d? Bin 2 tn wiv D. I ignore them until in plain English.

"I hope you will do me the favour of accepting my most humble appreciation.

I found myself mindful of the need to impart the information to you when I last saw Ian (a pleasant soirée at Maters, as I feel sure I need not remind you). However, in the heady rush of the social whirl, I found myself suddenly quite insensible of this pressing requirement, a distressing eventuality for which I can only offer my most profuse apologies.

In answer to your most kind enquiry, I must confess to a surfeit of happiness and good health, and trust that this missive finds you in similar, as it leaves me.

Your humble servant (etc)"

If I get one in that style I usually send a text back saying "your text seems have been garbled on the way and I can't read it - please resend it" (That's stored ready on the phone). Third or fourth time of sending and the message usually sinks in.

That's exactly what I thought it said, I was just struggling with the 'gd tar' bit.
