How can it be in the English Dictionary when it isn't even English?

If it's not worth saying or writing properly then just don't bother.  :chicken:

I agree.  :popcornsoda:

100% agree with OP.

QD, shouldn't you be saying "One absolutely agrees with the OP" given your new "Posh" image?  :laugh:

I agree with the OP too.  :happy2:

Ok back in the day when phones didn't have predictive text etc I can probably understand but with phones now there is no  excuse.

And especially when you sit at a keyboard.

And since when has m8 been English.

Damn right atrocious don't you know what what what what what.

It's actually quite difficult on an iPhone (other smart phones are available) to speak "gibberish"
