Text speak is becoming more prevalent in everyday writings.
This has got to stop.
When I read a profile or a forum post and it is in text speak, I can not help but think that person is an uneducated moron.
To me it is like the kids that wear their pants to their knees.

I am finding and I am speaking for myself I am forgetting how to spell. I rely way to much on spell correct. The only time I like text talk is when I am limited to character usage. dunno

Im not really a fan of text talk. I do use it every one in a while, but for the most part I prefer to sound educated.

I really don't mind if people use text speak on their profile or in their emails - they're free to do as they wish.

Just if they expected a reply from me, they'd have to wait for a veeeeeeery long time... doh grin
