Are they totally discredited?

A recent influx of southern trash, demanding the kind of instant gratification that they get from their vacuous posts on forums with 80,000 registered users, has set me thinking.

BlueMessenger - it could be the next big thing Nick.

I think this has potential but only if my advice is followed to the letter. As you are both aware the English language is being corrupted by the text message. Students now write in this when attempting assignments and whilst I used to mark the odd error - I now hand it straight back untouched apart from some acidic comment concerning my inability to decipher.
The Shufflebutt forum has been similarly infiltrated from time to time by those of Scots parentage wha wull occasionaly drop intae some kind o' wrutten dialec.

What I propose is a subtle blend of the two. Texting in dialect as it were.
Unfortunately I have now peaked with this astonishing idea and must go and lie down.
Over.

Funny innit, because I think "always" should be spelt "ay", and not "aye" which I presume to be be the affirmative. Having said that, I'm certain that my primary school motto was "Aye Ready".
