This is actually what i commented on one of the blogs that i follow. It would be really nice if one uses complete words instead of sms lingo
The same paragraph repeated below, to make one realize that it makes life easier for the blog reader if one stops using sms lingo:
oh what beautiful words you used
to tell us what went through your mind
makes it wee bit easier for me
if you leave sms lingo behind
Happy blogging 😀

when I started ‘blogging’ I used certain chat lingo in my posts (rarely) unconsciously but some people repeatedly pointed out that how distracting that is and thankfully I was ‘reformed’ .. now whenever I see people using these kind of words in posts or comments it irritates me big time.. then I realize how irritating my posts would have been .. *sigh*
