Yep, LM.


It does my head in, I don't respond. One Sales Manager has shortened everyone's name to one syllable, every email contains either "ctns, ppl, thx or pls".

What a fkhd.

Mine isn't the issue, some are just plain ridiculous though and don't even sound the same.

Meagan: Meg
Tanya: Tans
Caleb: Cale
Simon: Sime

It's the basic lack of "common English" that grinds my gears though.

Is anyone actually bothered or hindered by FB blocking the news stuff?

Only issue I have now is that a global corporation has shown its true colours as it doesn't give a shit about legitimate reporting because it affects their profits. Allowing unchecked facts to prosper.

I agree with you but to be honest I will miss some of the news articles only for the meltdown in the comments. They were always such a good read.

I think it shows how engrained Facebook has become I our lives that there is such a meltdown about them blocking the news outlets. If Facebook is the main source of your news then you can't really believe you are getting good information.

Most of the news I used to read on FB was from 3 or 4 days ago anyway because FB can't keep up with recent postings.

Yes, it was very stupid to remove "necessary" sites like SA health and CFS. Mind you, i don't miss all the numpties that comment every time someone turns up positive in a medi hotel :roll:
