We write messages pretty much as we would speak to someone face to face. We like to be written to in same way. Short, curt messages or text speak really puts us off. And that’s before we get started on grammar......
But each to their own. It would be a boring beige world if were all the same with identical tastes and likes
Have fun x |

Don't do txt spk  and have always written properly. However, the language varies depending upon the situation 
BangOn works in the Netherlands though, so has become quite straight forward and very blunt at times, not in a bad way though |

I get quite alot of messages from people and because alot of the time, chatting to people leads to dead end situations; I tend to be very short, blunt, to the point texter. In real life, people say I'm very friendly, jokey and easy going type. just don't think my online persona portrays that with the people I speak to on here. I found being nice and friendly doesn't make it easier, sometimes really difficult and challenging  |

In my opinion, text speak is the lazy option. It might be considered "cool" in some situations or within some age groups, but you shouldn't be using it while trying to get a conversation going online. To me, it feels like the person either can't be bothered to have a proper conversation or they are worried their bill would be enormous if they had to pay for every single letter they type   |

text speak as how you write your conversation online, not the short hand writing like m8, dw, wyu... eek I don't get all that stuff. But would I talk the same way as I write? Not necessarily. I definitely write in a blunt manner online |
