aga I don't find it annoying, just confusing as I don't know what it means!

Yes it's twitter speak - can be quite funny there and it suits their 140character limit but not sure it translates to GN

I thought it was just a typo - then I saw it happening more often. Don't use Twitter.

No, I like it. It's a way of adding something to a post in a concise and/or slightly humorous way.

I think this sort of thing causes confusion.
One I was sent to a CIB meeting at a hotel and expected to be in a Chartered Institute of Bankers meeting.
I followed signs which said CIB and sat in the room. I was a little surprised I did not know anybody there.
After about 30 minutes I realised I was in the wrong meeting. I was in a Chartered Institute of Builders meeting.
The meeting started with a talk on finance so it took me 30 minutes to pick this up.

Frank - thank you again!

What?

Sorry Frank what on earth has your CIB thing to do with the subject in hand ? agapanthus was talking about all these letters running together not acronyms like CIB. I know that people run of on a tangent in these threads but this is out of nowhere.

sorry type I meant ' go off on a tangent'

It didn't seem too far off-topic to me - the confusion caused by fooling around with these various kinds of communication.

I can't be doing with twitter, but can just about stomach FaceBook in small doses. 140 characters is way too many sometimes - "Just been to the lavatory" - that sort of thing...

If there is one thing I can't cope with its no spaces between words! or paragraphs or similar. Too much like hard work.

dorset have a look at jess's interpretation of Frank's posts on the Ladies-only-classes-have-been-banned thread

Are we being a bit intolerant and dismissive here? The # seems a bit of harmless fun and Frank's confusion over acronyms very understandable. How many people (apart from DC )used to think LOL meant Lots of Love until their offspring, with "Honestly Mother" curled up lip enlightened them? No? Just me then.

My GD (7) just enlightened me as the the meaning of TMI

I totally agree with gracesmum. I think whoever started this must be absolutely brilliant and should be given a Gransnet Secial Award. At the next Oscars ceremony. And she should have Colin Morgan and Bradley James accompanying her at said ceremony. And the aisle should be lined with the knights from Merlin................. #dreamonbaby. #sigh

.....and that award goes to.....oh, what a surprise......

Btw agapanthus I'm really sorry I suggested you might have a thesaurus stuffed up your rear end.
