I hate knocking people, but wouldn't you TRY to spell things right?

Does anyone know if the rear seat remover's are any good? Pain in the donkey to take them out all the time!

Wonder if he'll sell them separate?

With regard to your second paragraph, I'm afraid it doesn't really make much sense.

I wasn't actually trying to argue that your abbreviations were a problem. In fact in Post #88 I said, "I know you don't advocate numerals for words (like "Knock b4 you enter") but the answer to your first question is; because even though it speeds up typing, it slows down comprehension. That really only applies to those other uses of numerals that you correctly described as not making sense."
I'm not sure why you think I have argued that your posts are ineffective communication.

I am also not sure whether you have really missed the point of my second paragraph or whether you are having a gentle dig at me by pointing out that comprehension can be affected by things other than abbreviations.

If it is the latter, I accept the joke.

If the former, then I offer the following explanations.

When typing, it should be more important to think about how easily a reader will understand what you have written rather than thinking about how fast you can type it.

A faster way of typing is not a good idea if it makes it harder for readers to understand the meaning of what is written.

I got the impression you argued that my posts are ineffective communication because in post #97 Ron said:- "but if Panda thinks using the ampersand is quicker than using "and", what hope is there? As noted earlier, using such abbreviations slows comprehension", to which you replied:- "I agree. Surely the purpose of the post is to communicate."

And yes, you are correct, I was having a gentle dig! :D
