I confess, I joined this forum out of spite. I originally found the site through Google (I was doing research in preparation for my A Level English Literature course... we're studying Keats!). My dad was lecturing me about my supposed over-usage of the computer (he's obsessive about these things) and joked that through doing my research, I'd probably just end up on a "John Keats chat room". Instead, I found the next best thing

I'm sure if I told him I'd joined this forum, he'd have a seizure.
But I'd be happy to stick around, it's always good to belong to a forum where at least SOME of the members seem vaguely intelligent.
I discovered Keats in the classroom, hardly surprising. He featured in our GCSE course of pre-1914 poets. We studied To Autumn and La Belle Dame sans Merci. And I don't mind admitting that I liked both!
Now I'm doing him in a lot more detail for my A Level course.
Going back to the issues raised in the post... yes, texts are fantastic, but text-talk should be restricted to the neon screen of a phone. I always type emails and post on forums correctly... sloppy grammar and bad spelling aggravates me (yes, I really am that sad!).
