There was none intended.
That's the point, have you seen the name of the original poster.
Yes, I did. ..
..Mohed Haidar, ..
.. I also noted that the OP capitalised the instances
of the word 'I' that led sentences, but not other
occurrences. That in turn, led to to suspect that
while they were not entirely familiar with English, they
were doing their best to communicate their message.
As such, I felt they might like that tip.
... most probably a non native English speaker that - using your
words ..
'Thx' is not English. Other people that are (perhaps like the
OP) not native speakers, would have more trouble understanding
what leet speak words like 'thx' mean, than the properly spelt
'thanks'. If you pop over to Google* and do a search on thx,
what is the first thing that comes up? (hint: I alluded to it in
my initial post).
* <http://www.google.com/search?as_q=thx>
..- should be allowed to get a break...
And on that subject, how about *you* give posters a 'break'
in future, by (politely) giving them tips that will help them
to communicate more effectively on this (English based) forum?
It is all in your perspective. You seem to feel I was somehow
'rude' in my initial comments.
I suggest you deal with that, because I feel it is entirely
appropriate and helpful to discuss the best ways to
communicate, and I see no advantage to anybody, in
altering my response to these situations.
