Accuse me of being troll-like, or being pedantic, old school or whatever...but what the hell does "u're" mean? Why use such a term, other than an attempt to show disrespect to the English language and further help to dumb-down this forum to the level of uneducated idiots? Is it for style, for effect or what? There's not even a saving in key strokes, as if anyone would be that lazy - 4 characters for "your" and 4 characters for "u're".

George. I appreciate you playing devil's advocate and you appear to do it reasonably well. I too agree, to a point, but the beauty of our English language, with its huge vocabulary is that it is constantly evolving. Nothing, in nature, or the universe is static. Everything changes. Thankfully my ability to cook a decent curry is one of them :)

George, I'm not a fan of text talk either. In fact, i Hate it. I had hoped with the introduction of T9 and other mobile phone dictionaries it would teach kids to spell and write words in full. Unfortunately i don't think that's happened.  :(

I do however like to write as i speak and it certainly isn't borne out of laziness.
For example: gonna instead of going to, cos instead of because. ye ken?  :)
I think this is slightly more acceptable.

By the way,, u're is actually replacing 6 characters ,  you're   ;)   

Frank.

That's class Frank.

Correcting someone who is correcting someone. Sorry George, not having a go, just laughing at the irony.

And YES I do know that George is correct...still tickled me though.

Ahhhhh. My apologies George if you were referring  to the title.
I didn't even notice the title at all!!  :o
I thought it was in reference to a post in this thread.

Can't beat a nice pie, double mash, stewed eels and loads of parsley liquor with a good dash of chilli vinegar and well dusted with copius amounts of white pepper.  YUM  :P :P
