It's wrong. It's a huge turn off. I understand some people are not the best at spelling or writing but to me it says lack of effort.
Sometimes it can take me a good 5 minutes to decode a 2 line message in text speak. Maybe I'm just thick or not cool enough though! |

In my humble opinion, 'text speak' should be kept for texting.
Everywhere else should be decent English, and yes, I think those who deliberately use it other than in texting, are being lazy. A profile with a load of 'text speak' would be quickly passed over. |

Pet hate of mine. We used to text speak as a way of keeping texts short and therefore cheaper. No one really needs this any more. Personal view though, each to their own etc..  |

Although I'm not keen on text speak, it's interesting how language changes. The first recorded instance of lol meant little old lady. Thereafter, it was common to mean lots of love.
Sorry to hear your grans died lol. |

I tend not to use text speak even in texts. But I do lol...a lot. It doesn't really bother me others using it although I can struggle to understand it. My main bugbear is lack of punctuation. How hard is it to bung a full stop in? Grrrrrr.... |

as said on another post to go through multiple pages of punctuation while on a mobile gets tiresome sending a quick entry to a post could easily turn into a war of attrition with your phone thats the reason why when im on the mobile no punctuation

"multiple pages"? Sounds as if you need to download a decent keyboard.
If you're on Android, try the Hacker keyboard. |
