Good spelling implies orientation to details.
In which case I want to add the following minor detail. Not only is it an M119....but it is an M119.975 (just like the car isn't just a W124...but a W124.034)


In the end, youth and vigor will be out-done by old age and treachery.

No offense, but I wonder how it can be easier to intentionally write "wrong" when writing on things like IM or SMS? Abbreviations (like LOL, OMG) is ok, but if you know the correct spelling of non-abbreviated words, why bother writing them intentionally wrong?

Spelling words intentionaly wrong means you either don't know how too spell it or its shorter then the actual word spelled right. meaning shorter word = less to type and or write. meaning the person is lazy or its become habbit to talk/type in abbrevations. So I dont know.

Considering that their are two moderators posting in this thread, that wouldn't be a good way to say that.

LOL... I think the problem is that "IDK" isn't a proper abbreviation for anything. It's just text-talk. If you must, you better use abbreviations that people are likely to know (e.g. LOL) or proper abbreviations (e.g. FYI, AFAIK). Otherwise it may be rude and unreadable to some, if not most. I'm 22 if you are interested. You just have to learn to use different "languages" in different situations. You can say "F-you" to anyone on tExt but when you are asking for help, this is not, in my opinion, the right attitude.

Let's get back on topic. It's a M119.

Cheers

Maybe the forum rules should be reviewed! It looks to me like some type of warning to E_420 is warranted based on the above exchange.
