I see the point.
However, some of the posts on here are just difficult to understand unless you read them through several times.
It is a pleasure though when you read a post that has been written with care and attention to grammar, punctuation and spelling.
Am I the only person who punctuates while texting?

I suspect that's partially due to age, Bob. I too punctuate texts although I have relaxed sufficiently not to worry overmuch about Uppercase characters - it's too much hassle in a text message.

I tend also, not to use text shorthand, 'though that's mostly because I don't know it!

It depends who I'm texting.
If it's the wife, I won't bother...but if it's the young brunette that works in our admin dept I sometimes have a quick punctuate while I'm texting her
