My dear professionals,
First of all, I am really thankful and my sincere appreciation to everyone, who has been sharing their valuable experience and knowledge to us. This helps us in enhancing our knowledge and also in making more clarity on any discussed topic. I expect the same in future too.
But I can see some people post their discussions/ quires very casually without even paying much attention to the the spelling of the words. It does not look good, we being professional have try to be perfect in all aspects. So, this is my sincere request to all who is doing so... to kindly pay some attention while posting the threads. A few seconds attention will make the difference.
Lets make the site as most valuable.
I need your kind comment on this topic.
Thanks

Dear SK SINGH
Thanks for highlighting this issue.
I agree with you completely.
Just a look at the 'thread lists' in any forum will reveal that what you say, "I can see some people post their discussions/ quires very casually without even paying much attention to the the spelling of the words. ", is true.
Even simple/technical terms are mis-spelt in the title of the thread itself. many of these errors do not seem to 'typographical' but reflect on the poor knowledge or casual attitude of the 'post-er'.
I hope members do read this, and take note.
Warm regards.

Dear SK SINGH
Thanks for highlighting the issue.
I have avoided given inputs on many occassions because I cannot understand the queries.
Posters must understand that in order for others to help them, they have to start posting decipherable message.

I agree with your plea, i do take care of these things.
But in the era of internet every thing has been rewritten and netizens have invented their own script to communicate. What we see on this forum is just a bit of it. At social sites, the language is really tech-rich in term of cyber talk. That too is a decent and it contains all the antiquates. If you search the net you will find it very interesting. Also look for how the antiquates has been defined and how the people who cross the limit are punished.
It is just to show you a new script emerging out of the cyber communication. It is owing to ease of writing on the key-board. And it is interesting too. One wonders, how the brain of people works.
Anyhow, I don't mean that we should resort to that only. It is always good to stick to the literary English.

Hello SK Singha,
It's very pertinent that you have raised this point.
I recollect mentioning this aspect in response to quite a few Postings: If you want the right answer, you need to ask the right question. And this obviously also includes the language used, since the basic purpose of a language is to communicate coherently & clearly.
I sometimes wonder if some of the members of this really good Forum understand the purpose of putting their queries in understandable English or do they think that all of us are stressing this aspect to 'show-off' OUR English? I sincerely hope not.
I also would like to include in this category another type of member: One who posts a query & then TOTALLY forgets about it--at least that's the impression that comes across when the person who posts the thread doesn't even respond to those who asks subsequent queries or answers the query. If the query wasn't that important that he/she can't even spare time to see & acknowledge the responses, why post them at all? It's unforgivable that they don't think others' time is valuable too--maybe more than their's.

Whilst I appreciate that English is not the first language for many members, and can overlook mistakes in grammar and sentence construction, I do however, take issue with people who write in SMS language.
I get the impression that many members here are keen to improve their English language skills and I applaud that. It is a part of our professional development that we all should be striving for.
What is NOT professional though, is writing a message using SMS words and idioms. We are professional people and our writing and language should reflect that. Additionally, writing properly gives members who are not so literate with English, a chance to see good writing and assist them with developing their own language skills.
I know some members will say, well it is just a quick way of sending a message etc. Maybe, but it belongs in a SMS message on your phone, NOT here.
Sadly SMS has made people very lazy and is leading to younger people becoming quite illiterate. This does not bode well for the future.
English, like many languages is constantly changing and I recognise this. I am certainly not a person who lives in the past and advocates a strict adherence to the rather pompous and rigid rules of what is commonly referred to as "The Queen's English". Those days have long gone, and I say good riddance.
But let us try to keep our writing professional.

Dear All,
An addition to what Mr.Singh raised, I would like to request members to respond to the query raised on a particular topic of a member and not to raise a query (related or unrelated to the subject under discussion).
If you have a query for which you need the response of members please raise it separately and not club it with yet another query as some members respond to both queries and this misleads the forum.

I am with you John--FULLY & TOTALLY.
Hope the Forum Super-Moderators/Moderators find a way to implement the rulebook which I am sure is already there.
When we ignore those who use the SMS language OR raise new unrelated queries in an already-running thread OR initiate a thread & then totally & comfortably forget about it, we are only giving scope for others--especially New Members--to repeat the same thing all over again.

I thank and appreciate everone for the nice response. I truely agree with you, I do not know why people are correlating this topic with SMS. There is a reason why people use short form word in sms, in sms there is space constraint where as nothing such constraints prevail here. I have raised the topic just to pay little attention while people post their threads, so that it will look standard. We human being have the right to do mistake but if that mistake is intensional or is being repeated...... what shall we call that......crime???????????
My intension was never to pull the legs of other who are doing so. Just to share the idea........!!
