not really an acronym but in some cases Z and S are interchangeable apparently

yeah, i'm all for using acronyms, but there is just plain lazy. I hate (with a complete passion) poor spelling.

the 's'/'z' thing winds me up a treat. much the same as 'm8' 'uve' 'ur' etc.

there are foreign members of the board (and others that I use) that use better english than that.

The 's'/'z' thing is explainable-

The UK spelling uses an 's', where the US spelling prefers a 'z'. I've gotten used to the US way, since my version of MS Word has this as standard.

On topic,

I prefer to keep this place as neat as possible, (personal dysfunction probably), it means that things like ALL CAPS, m8, ur, and all that annoy me too...
