The bottom line is S/some P/pl use it and O/others seem to have an irrational dislike for it.
So because "you" like and use it means that you are rational while others are irrational?
If I have misunderstood what you meant, I apologize.

It's not about grammar.
Yes, it IS about the grammar (well to me it is anyways, lol).

Trying to read it is all stuttering and echoes. Yes, I find it extremely annoying. Your post was actually painful.
Double Ditto!!

I am in My fifties and come from a long line of D/s relationships [fifth generation] and even with pen and paper, this is how W/we all communicated. A lifetime habit is hard to break. I was taught that it showed respect for position and as with other forms of acknowledged respected terms of address e.g. Sir or Madam, it was expected. I am sorry if this offends others. I will not post again.

i used "slash speak" as a search phrase and pulled up 18 threads, the most recent in May of this year.
The bottom line is S/some P/pl use it and O/others seem to have an irrational dislike for it.
i happen to use it and like it. Feel free to block my posts, but honestly, i don't think there's one original comment to be made on the subject, and N/no O/one ever changes T/their mind, as far as i can tell.

I don't think a dislike of it is "irrational" at all. It is improper grammar. How is disliking it "irrational?"
I was wondering the very same thing... I haven't read the rest of the thread, but this was my gut reaction as soon as I read her post here, and others in the past under the nic of pinkee. I just don't see a preference as being irrational - it's just not for me to judge.
edited to add:
I don't use slash speak on the boards, however, I use it in my journaling out of respect for my Daddy, who quite likes it. As for me, I think it's kind of annoying on the eyes, but He likes it, and it's not like I use it in all my writing (i.e., work, personal writings, etc.) everyday, so it's not a big deal... But calling someone's opinion "irrational" because it is not aligned with one's own, IMHO, is irrational.
Yeah... what they said ^

Anyone writing to me with the S/style in question would be told to never do it again.
That just seems like a "dare" to me, haha

The only thing I'd like to point out with obesity is this: it is an addiction with food. With alcohol, you STOP consuming alcohol. With smoking, you STOP smoking. You CAN NOT stop eating. So, imho, it is the worst addiction - it must be fed, so you can live. For those of you who don't think it's such a big deal, would you insist that an alcoholic have 3 little shots of liquor a day, but critisize them for not kicking their addiction? I seriously doubt it... you'd likely think it cruel & defeatist. Yet, that is what obese people face every single day.
I'd like to agree w/ the others that you are smart to bring up excellent points that are often forgotten.
===========
Overall - *IF* someone is going to get mad at you for NOT typing that way... it just seems rather silly "to me", just my opinion yanno?
Anyways, to each their own.
