What one must always remember is that this is an International Support Forum, peopled by those of all ages and backgrounds. It is not a place where spelling, grammar and punctuation is scrutinised - if it were then many who are not confident with the written word would not come here for the support they badly need.

I am of an age where I abhor 'Textspeak', I even avoid contractions for the most part - but that is my way - yet I have never come across a Post I could not understand, either here or on our Sister Site NeuroTalk.

We may have pet peeves when it comes to use of the English Language - I cannot understand why Americans miss the 'U' out of words like colour and favourite - but is bringing it up on a Support Forum, where people could be embarrassed by having the quality of their English pointed out really the right thing to do?
