phonetic = 'the way it sounds' in simple terms. so a very basic example is that u in english is not pronounced u in dutch. so when you write u i won't read the meaning 'you' because I do not associate the sound 'u' with the word 'you'.
The more complicated text language gets (the more abbreviated signs are put together), the harder it is for me to read simply because first I have to think 'how would this probably be pronounced in english when read letter for letter'?
Then I have to rebuild that into an english word I know. Which in turn I might translate into Dutch to get the actual meaning.
It's annoying, it's time consuming and I can never be bothered to actually do it. Anything I cannot read first time round goes in the ignore bin. Which is why I skip any convo's between you and Kerry. Which is why you may find me posting
after posts by some alexng something.
Besides I think it's rude. If you can't be bothered to speak clearly, just shut up!
