wow..i didn't realise that this wonderful show attracted so many unpleasant arrogant people. It's no wonder Eli wants to leave with comments like "labels the writer as a bit of a d*ckhead" and "That's moronic". It seems respect isn't high on peoples thoughts here.
Language evolves all the...
that sounds so unwelcoming and not very pleasant..."a forum for grown ups" "wasn't expecting teen boppers to come on it and talk weird".
Why does there have to be "we" and "them"? it's a free world and anyone can speak and use whatever grammer or type of speak they like. If you don't understand...
How about if you just ignore posts you don't understand...or you could just accept that language moves on and that abbreviations online are s common part of our culture now and stop trying to control what others post. You could always just take a bit of time to learn what the abbreviations...
Unfortunatly it's a recurring thing in this site that there are a lot of "grumpy sods" who don't understand that you can't have life the way that just they want it. Your posts are always understandable (altho I say it as someone who uses txt speak themselves a lot), and if people have problems...

Here's a small note in the book section "paperback parade" about the publication of the LotSW novel (the one later adapted into the film "Getting Sam Home"). this article is from 4th October 1974.
The next is a preview of the series from Monday 5th November 1973. The Pilot was repeated that evening at 9:25, with the first new episode shown the week later on the 12th
