I'm 16 and at the start of the year I made a promise to myself never to use text language ever. There is nothing cool about it, it just makes people lazy (and non-english people confused) so, to everyone out there in my age bracket, please learn to write properly so the EVERYONE can understand it, and it will also help you pass those ever-daunting english exams!

Maybe Some Peole Just Like To Shout. Does It Annoy Anyone When People Post Like This? :P [/QUOTE]
Yes dear God, yes.
There is someone around here who does it ALL the time on EVERY post. He says he is a sixteen year old college student!? Does he write like this in essays?
It Is Almost As Frustrating As When People Write ALL IN CAPS LOCK.

Well done.

OK, so I am not the brightest bulb on the tree. I did not know for the longest time that you could edit/correct your own entries. Maybe this info will help some contributors once they see what they have written. It is the first icon nearest to the date/time of your entry. Click on it, go in and make your changes, and click on post message, and the correction will appear. Keep on posting no matter what! Also, I would suggest being as descriptive as you can when filling in the subject line when you start a new topic. I pass on by subjects such as "No subject."
its nice to hear more youngins are getting into Queen (without the help of my for once)! i agreeeeee

Oh, my gosh - I just looked at your Smitty profile. How hilarious!!! Wasn't it the very famous writer, Gertrude Stein (sp?), that wrote in run-on sentences. It is an art form. You are in stellar company!

good stuff right there LOL
but what i dont get with this thingy is that if the kids shouldnt be exposed to words(they're just bloody words!) when theyre "that young" then they shouldnt even be on the internet at all, or watch TV, they say "hell" on tv now >:O . When i think about it at the age 11 people in my school were already loosing their virginity, and were smoking pott, cigarretes, Ecstasty, and doing coke lines and i kid you NOT. The people in my town are soo brought up wrong if, i know 11 year olds now who are doing drugs, im not friends with them i just pity them really. But what im trying to say is that a bit of words that have a bad name/ definition to them are the least of our worries. OH! and im not saying any of the kids here are druggies! None the less i will curb my language

Sorry, I don't know how quoting works. I'll do it my way:

How much more difficult would this be for you to read if it was incorrectly translated, (or worse still), written as a German "text-message?
Es scheint, dass im Laufe des Wochenendes der memership von Queenzone (immer ein gutes Ding) gewachsen ist, um einige unserer jüngeren Leser unterzubringen. (Ein noch besseres Ding). Ich finde auch die Tatsache, die 12, 13, und 15 Jahre alt in die Königin sind, ist nur für das Band gesund.
Jedoch scheint es, dass einige dieser jüngeren Leser scheitern, das zu ergreifen, ist das ein allgemeines Forum, das erwachsene Ideen ausdrückt, die in einer reiferen Mode gerichtet werden sollten.
Das ist nicht ein englischsprechender nur Ausschuss - das ist universal, welche Völker von vielem Nationsbesuch, und genießen.
Deshalb macht schlechte Grammatik, schlechter seplling, schlechter puctuation, und besonders "Text-Messaging"-Typ-Sprache, es unmöglich für diese Sprecher "nicht heimisches Englisch", um zu lesen.
Es ist deshalb HÖFLICH, das Verwenden als richtige Zeichensetzung, Grammatik und die Rechtschreibung, wie möglich, und sehr grob zu
"riteasifUdoknotcreabtthefealinsofotrredrs, andsodU".
Also, alles, was ich frage, ist, dass Sie an andere denken, (erinnern Sie sich, dass Sie im großen Spielplatz jetzt sind), und tun Sie Ihr Bestes, so wie möglich verständlich zu sein.
Sehen Sie sich auch um und sieh, ob Ihre Fragen oder Ideen vorher ausgedrückt worden sind.
Jeder wird für den sonderbaren Fehler versöhnlich sein, aber, wenn Sie auf der Schauspielerei wie kleine Kinder verharren, finden Sie bald, dass jeder beginnen wird, Sie zu ignorieren. (jämmerlich aber wahr).
Aber wenn Sie eine echte Anstrengung machen einzufügen, finden Sie, dass die meisten Menschen darin hier sehr freundlich und rücksichtsvoll sind, (und sehr häufig), sind jene nichtheimischen englischen Sprecher mehr kenntnisreich als wir englische Sprecher, so ist es sehr wichtig zu hören, was sie sagen, aber wenn sie die Frage nicht verstehen, dann können sie nie helfen.
Ich hoffe, dass Sie Ihren Aufenthalt an Queenzone genießen, und sehen, dass eine kleine Höflichkeit einen sehr langen Weg geht.

That's a funny kind of German language! Not totally crappy, but a few words in there are simply wrong, there also are some funny expressions. Altogether is giving parts of the text a wrong meaning. The misspelled English words aren't translated, so I guess you used a translation programme? If so, I'm surprised how well it worked, though. Would you mind telling me how you did it?
As you may have detected, I'm German and I use the English language only in internet forums, so please forgive my bad language. But at least I've tried my best to be understood well.
