Am I alone in this?

Not heard of them before, thank you very much

Wasn't it the B side of "Don't Fear the Reaper" by Blue Oyster Cult?

Same tune, different words...

We can be like they are

Don't Diss the Rabbit

We'll be able to fly

Don't Diss the Rabbit

Baby I'm your man

Don't Diss the Rabbit

You're welcome.

The were formed after their lead singer JP Anderson left The Shizit.

The Shizit were an astounding band, best classified if you need to as "digital hardcore". The sheer power, intensity and strength behind The Shizit's music was a revelation to me.

Original Shizit recordings have been very hard to find, but I have just noticed that someone has put some on You Tube.

When texting first came out my mate thought that the fewer letter you used the cheaper the text message!!!

-Obviously I know if it goes over 2 pages.... BUT back then there wasn't pages!!!

When I send text messages, I dont use predictive text and I write all words longhand and use capitals and punctuation.
I treat it the same as if I were sending an email.

Does anyone else do this or am I a prig? :

Looks like we are both prigs then.

I refuse to let my (low) standards drop even if it is a text message.

Probably why I don't text that often and prefer the human (read old fashioned by todays standards) touch of actually speaking to people.

How are you getting on with it?

Oh and if you like The Shizit and Rabbit Junk, have you heard of DHC Meinhof ?

What I hate is reading random forum messages on other message boards where the whole message is written in txt speak. It really does make me wonder what kids are being taught these days in school.

I can understand using txt in an SMS where you have a limited number of characters to use, but in a message board? GTFO KTHXBI!

I use T9 predictive text but always make a point of writing proper sentences and punctuation.

HTH

There are no angry people on here. We're IT geeks who are mild and harmless.

Forum postings are merely gorilla-chest posturings, so the meek and the mild can feel important.

If it soothes the brow of some, then I say, why the heck not ?

Better to keep an eye on them here than have them loose on the streets scaring old ladies with bits of C++.

I am the same, but then I am an old git.

Actually, the main reason that I don't use the predictive text is because I swear a lot and it never predicts swear words accurately.
