[quote="talk2shaanc"][quote="ray.wurlod"]...Secondly, we are here not to correct anybody's english but to correct Datastage understanding. If language used by somebody is abusive or insulting, then we should raise a concern...[quote] Correct, but there is no need to use SMS type abbreviation when you have a full keyboard available. In addition, and more importantly, most of the member here [including myself] are not native English speakers and it sets a very bad example to use "u" "ur" and similar abbrevations. They might become part of the language in the future but they are not acceptable yet. Would you use these abbreviations in a resume or a formal report? Then why use them here where your audience is much larger? I feel that this is a professional forum, not a chat line.
