There have been a number of complaints lately by both Forum regulars and by a few new foreign readers about the use of "mobile TXT" type in posts, for example ne1 (anyone) or m8 (mate).
We consider this extremely discourteous to our friends who do not use English as their first language, and a great annoyance to the vast majority of educated English speakers out of short trousers!
I can understand how shortening words in an SMS can be useful and possibly even necessary at times, but it has no place in an educated public forum or in e-mails. If you ever tried to run a spell-checker after writing a post in "TXT" then maybe you would soon understand why it is so difficult for a foreign reader to understand, or so frustrating to someone who uses good grammar and spelling by choice.
As for the red text, I use that on all my links in posts to highlight them and and to keep them in the "theme" of the main website.
My editing of your post has nothing to do with you owning an RGV! (I know that was a joke, don't worry!) As far as I'm concerned, not that many know it or would believe it, but to me a 2-stroke is a 2-stroke is a 2-stroke!!
Regards,
