[QUOTE="Angela Channing, post: 244708, member: 33"] It's funny you say that because when I added my first comment to this thread I double checked it before hitting send because I was didn't want my grammar or use of language to be attacked when I was attacking that of other people's, even though my point would still be valid. Language does develop and conventions that were accepted in the past are no longer valid today but it doesn't mean that you can't be annoyed by it. A friend of mine told me I'm one of the few people he knows that uses full punctuation in text/WhatsApp messages (I always use comma, colons and semi-colons in them) and because it's a relatively new medium for communication, I'm the one using it incorrectly and everyone else is correct by not bothering to do so. I'm officially a dinosaur! [/QUOTE]
