What is netspeak?
its when u writ lik this n leve out tonz of wrds n use #'s 2 stand 4 wordz, etc.
It's nice and fast when you're talking to a friend on AIM or something, but it has no place at a discussion board where people try to express their thoughts as clearly and intelligently as possible. Not only that, but there are many people who may join this site, who don't speak English as a first language, and netspeak is very hard for them to read.
Standard internet abbreviations (LOL, IMO) are fine.
