AngryDog Posted April 12, 2013 Author Share Posted April 12, 2013 I find text speak hard to read, sometimes have to read a message 3 or more times. Sometimes some text speak contains more letters than the correctly typed word they should've used instead! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

callippo Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 it's just like a dialect. People can get snobbish about American and Australian, etc spoken dialects too. Phooey. More fool them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Hans Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I just don't text people who type like that, problem solved. With predictive messaging now there's really no excuse for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithy266 Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Hmmm, I just cannot cope with predictive text. Txt spk is ok on the mobile phone, but inexcusable in e mails or on forums. Imho,of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callippo Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 it depends. We really are talking about dialect here, not sloppy merely 'I know more than you', English standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
