I personally don't consider emoticons netspeak.
And I think they can add visual cues that are missing from written communications. As such, I would like to see them used. |

| Some interesting comments. I agree that some of the appaling posts are there not because of lack of education but more a couldn`t care less attitude. I know I`ll be roasted for saying this, but we know where posts originate from and we need to remember that this is an International forum and readers can`t help but form an opinion of a country from what they hear, see and read. We always should be trying to presnt our country to the best of our ability. Russ (inAus) |

Grammar? Spelling? No. That's not what really "grinds my gears." Misusing homonyms..... now that's what really grinds my gears!
They're going over there to see their friends!
