I agree with this. I had people babytalking to Amelia and there was a few of us saying in chat last night that we were sure our babies would be smart enough to to talk and type in English is they could do either.
I don't skip over posts like that but I do find it takes longer to read a thread with babytalk in because I can't skim read it. Takes me a little effort to work out what it says.
I have been
really enjoying TOY's thread though. She's very witty and comical with it and only uses the odd baby word.
If people are having fun though then that's all that matters!!!
