How is "thx" an acronym? :unsure:

THX stands for Tomlinson Holman's eXperiment.
THX is a trade name of a high-fidelity sound reproduction standard for movie theaters, screening rooms, home theaters, computer speakers, gaming consoles, and car audio systems.
THX was developed by Tomlinson Holman at George Lucas's company Lucasfilm in 1983 to ensure that the soundtrack for the third Star Wars film, Return of the Jedi, would be accurately reproduced in the best venues.

Acronyms are not text speak and it is perfectly legitimate to use acronyms on technical forums. How many times do you want to write Kit and Kilo out? Or light dry malt extract, or hot liquor tank or aussiehomebrewer. Basic English, of course should be typed, correctly spelt (sorry Tony), punctuated (apologies ///) and consist of mixed case as appropriate for the ease of reading, but there is no need to spell out common brewing terms to a brewing audience where the standard acronym is widely known.

Get with the times, buddy!

It's spelled, not spelt.

Spelt is a perfectly acceptable variant in UK and Australian English. (Please refer to the Cambridge Dictionary Online) You too Sir, need to GET WITH THE TIMES.

I knew I was begging for a critical read when I took up a discussion of posting styles, but if that's the best you can do, I'm happy.

+1 for this. It's not just this forum, but many many places. Again, some forums will close threads with uninformative topics. That's overboard, imho. Best option is to just ignore such posts. It's an etiquette educational thing.
