I hate it there really is no need for it anywhere other than in texts.

Something strange though since using forums more and more hence typing more and more i not only don't use text speak i also type in a way i would never talk, like writing is not or does not instead of isn't or doesn't which is how i would say it, making more typing instead of less sort of Anti text speak!

One word i do shorten is Deffo as i can never remember how to spell deffinatley (sp?) :lol:

Why should people who can read and write in plain old Queens English need to read up and swat about a half hearted language that has been made up by lazy skintflints!!!! :wink:

 

Actually that's a bit harsh :wink: - i hate text speak - understandable in a text message - but if there is that much to get across why not ring the person :roll:

 

Ok in moderation but I'm obviously getting old 'cause it drives me mad

Sounds Chavy :shock: goes hand in hand with fake burbery, gold & neons :lol:

 

Got to agree with you there man. Come on, it cant take THAT much longer to write 'mate' on a phone compared to m8 because you have to press the 8 button 3 or 4 times anyway!

Text speak is shit and belongs to the chavs. INNIT, BOI!!!

 

Saying that though, i sometimes use 'gotta' instead of 'got to'. .......shit, does that make me a chav??!! ARGH!
