Swear filter to auto-correct text speak.
#1

How about using the swear filter to change common txt spk to proper english, albeit highlighted in bold. Other forums have done this on various levels, for example autocorrecting VTECH to 'I can't spell VTEC correctly' etc.
Reduces the need for Pete to interject every time someone uses u instead of you, and he can still have a word if they manage to confuse the filter as obviously they'll be having real issues with the English language.
Tell me it doesn't make sense?

People that say "i went for a spirited drive blah blah" sound like a right Brian Cant. For the love of boys, just say you took you car out for caning, thrashing or whatever.

Maybe it's just an age thing?

Maybe but I'm slightly older than you...
And anything that makes my life easier is good in my book.

That's what we do now, and it ends up with threads full of Pete saying 'No text speak '.
You can't educate pork, so might as well put some filters in place so that we can understand them a bit easier, and Pete doesn't have to spend all his days dishing out reminders.

It just puts a sticker plaster over the problem rather than actually addressing it. How long before the "swear filter" is full up with text speak? Pete would be back to square one an then we'd have threads full of people saying that it hadn't been a problem for a year (say) so why is it a problem now?
If I had my way you wouldn't be able to submit a post with text speak in it. Now that would be progress and save Pete time.

I don't think it will be an issue, we're talking purely about the most common ones, maybe 20-30 or so at the most.
Like I said above, things like u (you) m8 (mate), etc. I'm sure I'm not the only one that would appreciate not having to read 'No text speak ' on every thread for the odd slip up.
Obviously, when some clown comes in with "yea m8, wil u chek oot ma sik ATR innit I got bare skilz m8" then fair enough, he should quite rightly be stuck down.

If you've really got nowt better to do than tell people off for it then I guess I'm fighting a lost cause.

Don't get me wrong, I'd rather not have to do it in the first place.
And the reason it can seem tedious is due to all the offenders.....

To me, it seems like a win win situation.
Then, you can even give people a proper bollocking when they manage to still slip some though...
