Ê†ë®Ñï†Ý is posting in a style that many kids use today. It is far easier than using correct grammar, syntax and spelling. You too are just getting old and intolerant. At the very least you should thank her for posting in a form which makes her posts easy to spot and easier to ignore.

I for one always have a mental picture of Ê†ë®Ñï†Ý when I see her posts, sitting at her computer, , pouting, winking, shrugging, hugging, giggling, grimacing, grinning, waving, waving madly, , nodding etc.

Give Ê†ë®Ñï†Ý a break, will yous? It's called textspeak. It's the way you type when you send text/SMS messages on a mobile phone. I've noticed Glorfindel use it as well and while it requires some effort for interpretation for the uninitiated surely it's not that hard to understand. Obviously none of you own a mobile phone, eh?
