[Sum]

because it's often quicker than saying, don't use stupid chat speak. The reason for wanting full words to be used by people is i think probably two fold, msn/txt speak lyk wat im ritin ere (please note in the example i just gave there are probably too many vowels) or l33t which i gave an example of in a previous post make the site look utterly stupid and like it is frequented by absolute morons.

Secondly getdare has quite a large active non English speaking membership, correct spelling (and were possible grammar) makes life easier for them.

You'll notice that people asking for correct spellings is for the very most part where the spellings are obviously wrong, i.e. there has been clearly no attempt made to follow conventional spelling rules (e.g. words need vowels!)
