Dorothy Sayers made similar complaints about telegraphese some time in the first half of the twentieth century but in fact it died a rapid death.

I need help....

MOURNING DEATH OF LANGUAGE STOP MISS PUNCTUATION STOP WOE IS ME STOPYoungters weren't telegraphing each other all day long, though. For many kids, the IMing never stops.

The "telegraphese" she was talking about was a fashion among magazine writers and some newpaper reporters, especially used in headlines, captions and other short pieces. It involved leaving out all words that were felt to be unnecessary because the reader could work them out.

well im sorry if it makes me seem "uneducated and ignorant " because im not. i have far abouve average intellegance for people my age and im one of the least ignorant people i know. its a shame that your not going to bother listening to what i have to say because i like to think my advice is usually realonably valid and descent and i find the idea of being ignored when i take the effort to TRY and give my advice and help to someone very frustrating. i dont like having my oppinions dismissed because of someones impression of me, whether it be this or how i look, im sick of that crap.one reason for the way i type is also i happen to have pretty shite spelling which, as my english teachers have pointed out, is a huge shame because people are less likely to take what i write seriously even tho i have very good ideas and writing style. so you not bothering to read it does kinda upset me.whatever, its your choicei will however make an effort to go over my posts and fix any mistakes. thanks i guess, ill try and take it as constructive critisism ...even if i dont see it that way.

CheersI have Been making an effort. See Capital letters and everything.lolHmmm, i wonder if there are any teenagers who appreciate being called a "kid" though.Im officially an adult in 3 days I appreciate it and your right, the text writing dosn't exactly help the whole spelling thing
-
It's funny. I can appreciate how a teenager would feel that "I worked hard taking all that life has thown at me to become an adult and no longer a kid." Fast forward a few years and you take it as a compliment to be called a kid.Conrats on your impending birthday and thanks for the efforts to "standardize" your posts. Now everyone will be able to understand all the great points you have to make.

about how long should it take (if it is a yeast infection) how long should it take if I am using lotrimin ultra twice to three times a day. how many days should it take?
-
If it's a yeast infection I think you should see an improvement within three days (but you should keep using it for two weeks). If you haven't seen any improvement in that time it's probably not a yeast or other fungus.
-
what if after 4 weeks now, the redness is not gone, it imrproved a little but isnt gone. What could it be now? Should I get it chedked out by a doctor.
-
That would be a good idea. It might be bacterial and need an antibiotic, or a resistant fungus that needs something stronger.
