Looking at your list, all I could think is ***!?

Thankfully I have never encountered most of this gobbledegook on the. Celebrity site. Most .people have the courtesy to take the time to write in English, not in a mangled form of the language designed for phone texting.

I see my post was auto-edited by the CC system. Apparently the letters W and T and F aren’t proper. Oh well...

Someone could have posted it but there is a new one that I have noticed on the Edge threads which will be used much more in the future.
