Am i being really picky here or does anyone else find text talk by someone in their 40's totally ridiculous?? Sounds like midlife crisis or little mummies boy, personally i hate both though what was worse was that he thought he knew me well enough to call me lise, the ultimate in bad manners  |

If we get mail with text spellings, we delete it! If people can't be arsed to write/type properly then what other short cuts do they make?
Text speak on a phone is OK as long as it is limited to a few words.. Anywhere else and we don't read! |

"text speak gets on my nerves full stop! "
Agree, its one of my pet hates, its ok to shorten long words when sending a text message but 9 times out of ten I still do longhand. My daughters texts are totally alien to me, can't inderstand a word so end up ringing her to see what it says  |

Nothing wrong with text speech on a phone but its not what i'd use on a laptop as i have a full keyboard and don't have to abbreviate. Well if you can its curious to use all the keys when you can isn't it? |

"i hate text speak - takes me longer to read the message, trying to decipher what they are trying to say
I sometimes give up and ask them what the hell they are on about in a call  "

I despise 'txtspek' with a passion!
I always text in English and demand others do the same - i delete without reading if i receive one.
I will not entertain a message from a fab member who writes to me in shorthand, i find it insulting.
Might be all high & mighty of me but to my mind, if you cannot create a coherent message with a keyboard then your conversational skills are going to be somewhat limited as well! |

I never use text talk, not even when sending a text.
My texts are always written in Queens English, with spelling and punctuation done to the best of my ability. |

I'm 100% with you on this!!
It drives me nuts when people use text-speak when they have a fully functioning keyboard!! My typing might not be amazing but I know what I'm trying to say!! I don't think its high and mighty of anyone to insist on good grammer. I do like a wee smiley now and again (and thats not slang! lol!).
I text long-hand as well, using commas and full stops properly. Jesus, I sound like an old English teacher! Sit up stright! Pull that short skirt down! Spit out your chewing gum!! |
