🙉  So what is the real issue here ?

People no longer know how to spell individual words, and use them in full sentences? Or are they just too lazy and in too much of a hurry?

It's not "people".  It's just the OP's idea.

@Kachina624 I have a post I'm thinking about writing. It's about Greenland Sharks. Somehow I don't think the Pet Forum is the right place for it.

When I first open the forums I do so in "View All Forum Topics" to see the most recent posts and because that is what comes up first on my iPad.  So I don't know if a thread is posted in the right forum category or not.  In my instance, the title is important in giving me the substance of the post because I am not looking in a particular forum topic at that point.

I do prefer actual titles that informs the readers of the topic rather than the cutesy ambiguous click bait.

I see your good intentions @Sooner  but I wonder if you'll get much cooperation.  People are often resistant, or forgetful, when various demands/requests are made - enlarge the font, do this, don't do that, etc. When new people join, they won't know about it.  And, truth be told, if someone is in a hurry they can save perusing the forum until they have time rather than requiring the rest of us to remember to do something extra to accommodate.  As @VanSleepy said, it an easy click out if it's not of interest.

I used common abbreviations in a post last week and was told by another poster that my incessant use of abbreviations lost her.  🤷‍♀️

@JeanLouiseFinch like the posters that want everyone to increase the font size every single time they post instead of the complainers increasing the zoom percentage on their browsers.

@Mindy D   Since Greenland sharks are definitely not pets, the only category it can go in is Community Chat.

If the post has Greenland sharks in the title, those with no interest can pass on by...easy peasy.

I hope you post the story as I am definitely interested.

It's just that I open an awful lot of pictures that turn out to be a joke, an animal picture, or things that crop up and people put some title to make you think it's something else.

It's just me so forget I said anything. And things are often not in the right category.

Yep, that's the easy fix for it @CelticCrafter.

I don't always understand the initials, I think one of the ones that really stumped me was one of the 'The Real Housewives of XXXXXX' of some tv show. Not recognized LOL or something similar.

My cousin, who is an Attorney, uses abbreviations when she posts. 

I may not be an ideal "daughter" but I definitely am not a "dau!"

Someone recently posted about loving a piece of jewelry from JM.  My first thought - oh wow, I didn't know Joy Mangano added jewelry to her line.  Nope.  Had to check back later to see that someone posted the name Jennifer Miller.  Never heard of her.
