| Errr, Umm, thanks DW. You trying to tell me something?
And here I took your poor wolf for a walk. She kept scratching at the door like she needed to go out so I took her for a walk. (Wow, didn't realize how big wolf scat piles were)

Sorry, couldn't resist. Nor could I resist the patchouli comment. Living on the West Coast here... we have lots of hippie and crunchy granola culture, so patchouli incense is popular stuff
Well.... what do you expect... she eats whole sheep for lunch... Of course... the diminishing sheep population dismays certain of the clientele...
@Maglord,
I imagine you scared everyone away by using Leet
Seriously, I think everyone is just busy, speaking of which, I need to head back to some things myself

| | | Same here. Never liked leet anyway. Hard to understand sometimes and very hard to read at times. I don't mind short-form typing but that's only when I'm chatting with people on Messenger. Not here.

| | Morning all,
Not a fan of leet either. I'll use some common abbreviations on occasion but prefer to use the English and grammar my teachers spent all that time putting into my head.

| | I wasn't really ignoring you, incidentally; I just thought it was funny to say that. I don't even remember where I was at the time, but I was gonna say you scared everyone away and DW beat me to it.
But I do hate leet with a virulent passion.

Used to always keep looking at the keyboard and the screen at the same time whenever I write something. Now I can just type without looking at the keyboard. Had I not known about this site, I would still be typing in that manner till this very day.
And as for Messenger, it really did cut down on the short-form writing as well after joining GB, sometimes ending up with longer sentences than usual.
