I for one don't really give a shit about non-excessive abbreviation, although number to letter substitution generally shits me. By the way, I wasn't specifically intending to "have a go" at you before, I just didn't agree with what you said, and stated reasons to that effect.
However, I will say - If what you said about your local terminology is true, fair enough...but, then I question is there was really much of a need to comment in the first place. Saying "The original ruled, the new one sucks" has not only been said by hundreds of people about hundreds of remakes, but it's kind of rude to blow in on someones thread just to say that. If you felt it was really worth the negative comment, you could've just said "I personally disagree...etc", maybe stated a few reasons why you developed this opinion, instead of coming in saying things that may be taken as "you're an idiot, your choice in film sucks".
Just saying...converse, express...make your posts worthy.

Fair comment. I was not in any way meaning to be rude and so I take my comments back! I in-fact do own the remake but being a big TCM fan was disappointed with the way Leatherface was newly portrayed in the remake as opposed to the original. I also will point out that on merit if it was just another movie then I would maybe have had a higher opinion of it but as I am hating the recent remake boom in Hollywood then I was always going to be against a remake (what I would term) a classic.
