[QUOTE="ollie989898, post: 5642098, member: 54866"] Hahahahahahah. :ROFLMAO: I don't think I have ever used any marketing spiel speak in my entire life and I don't think I could ever learn to. In fact, I think during my time I actually assimilated yet more Zomerset speek. The worst part of which was the profanity; all kinds of effing and jeffing is encountered on your daily travels and it takes the place of regular nouns, adjectives and verbs. I can actually write very nicely when I put my mind to it, but speech, heck, you can't help but absorb the stuff you are exposed to day in-day out. 'Touch base', who the fudge uses terminology like that, someone trying to sell you shares in BP or something? I do believe farmers need giving some grief now and then mind, too many of em are recalcitrant, introvert hermits who need exposing to some sunshine now and again. Most of them used to take the pish out of me mercilessly anyway, got no sympathy from me. I must confess spelling and grammatical errors do not irritate my inner gramm(er)a Nazi; apparently the UK as an average only reads at the level expected of an 8 year old. Does it really matter? And what is wrong with text messaging? Short and to the point: Walked corn, too early to see much, back in 10 days. Easy. Nothing worse than people leaving fudging voicemails and do I really really need to ring and interrupt a farmer to tell him a dozen words? Nope, sometimes a text will suffice. Other times a conversation is required. Other times an email containing detailed tracts of information is required for someone to read and think over. They all have a place. [/QUOTE]
