Aha! There is a lot of good-natured "harassment" on this site. Eg, a recent comment of mine about DEpointfive0's fashion choices. That's just boys being boys.

If you make a typo every now and then, no problem (as long as we can figure it out). Don't know what something is called? Describe it the best you can and we'll try to identify it.

If English is not your primary language, we will do our best to help you out. But if English is your primary language and you can't be bothered to use something that at least resembles proper English, don't expect us to spend the time figuring out what you mean.

IMNSHO, forums are not the place for textspeak. YMMV
