Can you try writing in English? I can't even read what you said!

respectfully,

"Can you try writing in English?" sounds to be a put down, plain and simple.
i imagine that it is prompted by frustration.

"I can't even read what you said!" is a self put down, but, i believe, inaccurate.
"i have difficulty understanding!" is the issue it seems.

personally, i do not wish all people to be cookie cutter versions of each other.
i enjoy the variety.

We are not at this forum to send each other texts. So why should people write what they have to say in some sort of weird text code.....I don't even have a mobile phone and have never sent anyone a text. Trying to decipher what dream jo had written was more trouble than it was worth.

I find it quite disrespectful that she expects us to understand what she had just said. It is not that hard to write a full sentence without resorting to text codes.

imagine if someone had had a stroke.
during the course of their recovery, they may be unable to communicate in the manner which they used to.
still, they do the best that they can. as they regain functionality, the speech may improve.
imagine a child, trying to learn a language.
they may slur words, lisp, use poor sentence structure. still, they do the best that they can.
imagine someone who has "oppressive depression"... perhaps they need to pepper their efforts at communication
with colorful phraseology or cutesy word play, so as to muster the strength to speak at all.
there are a myriad of possibilities as to why a thing may appear a certain way,
the labels that we might place on it do not define its identity.
(what is art to some may be an eyesore to others... it is what it is regardless)

the purpose of communications is at issue.
transferal of meaning.
i do not believe that the intention was disrespect.

I like "Carry on Don't Lose your head." The sets and costumes are gorgeous and it's almost like being back in the 18th century. Barbara Windsor wasn't in that film but tbh I thought Joan Simms looked like a pretty blonde bombshell in there. She appears usually frumpy in the other films but that one made her beautiful.

Beautifully said, Horace...my thoughts exactly.
We never know what the person opposite of us has been/ is going through in their life.
When we listen with our hearts, it all makes perfect sense.

By the way, I have no idea what carry on films are. :confused:
( yes, I could look it up...lol)

From Wikipedia:
"The Carry On franchise primarily consists of a sequence of 31 low-budget British comedy Motion Pictures (1958–92),
four Christmas Specials, a Television Series of thirteen episodes, and three West End and provincial stage plays."
