I dislike text speak intensely, sometimes enough to rule people out on that basis. I am not sure what it is about text speak that is so offputting for me... I can be tolerant towards one or two abbreviations but certainly not the entire message. |

I think we're showing our age 
Smileys can be good, and fun, but, for me, I like to receive an email etc. which actually looks as if since effort has been put in to it  |

"I received an email from the partner of the firm of solicitors we use: in text speak.
I wasn't impressed! 
There's no need for it."
I wouldn't be either! Time and a place.
Text speak doesn't bother me, so long as I am able to read it and have the patience to.
But, having a long(ish) chat with some1 hu spks lyk dis gts on mi t1tzzz. Innit blud

We agree, as a whole we hate it too, but can handle a one or two every once in a while. |

"How does anyone understand text speak? We certainly don't. We tend to delete text speak messages "
I agree and I think that is part reason of my dislike of text speak - the fact I have to decipher as opposed to read and I am impatient lol. The other is about what somebody else said earlier... I like to see somebody making a modicum of an effort in communicating.  |

I hate it. I don't mine abbreviations like lol and imo but in general I loathe the use of txtspk.
I also can't understand using "nuffink" in place of "nothing", for example, except for comedy value. It doesn't save on characters, so what's the point?
It just makes the writer look immature, chavvy and poorly educated in my opinion. |

We have enough text speak when talking to our daughter or niece via text and really don't like it on here, if we get a message that's written in textspeak we delete without even bothering to read the entire thing and if the profiles written the same way it puts us off completley!
On most phones it's harder to write the gobbledygook as they all tend to come with predictive text enabled!
