Have been helping a client with the insurance aspects of some tense contract negotiations with their customer over the last few days.

It's been pretty tricky - obviously things get much simpler when the lawyers get involved:rolleyes: - but we finally got it over the line this afternoon and were indulging in the usual round of mutual love-in congratulatory e-mails.

The last one I received, from a professional organisation, was not only sprinkled with a smattering of text speak but also contained a smiley bloody face, thus :).

I don't wish to appear old fashioned, but really, whatever next?

Surprised? I almost knocked over my inkwell.

You should see some of the e-mails I get when people are appealing declined insurance claims. You'd think they were trying to talk to their friend from the hood rather than an insurance company...

I don't understand it and don't want to use it. Send them all to university for free. That is what I say!

I hate text talk, and people who actually speek it...

Even my text's are in as near proper English as I can get, my spelling is not the best though.

Surely you can't text with a Blue alcopop bottle in one hand and a large Donner kebab in the other?

Ironic, as today is national plain English day isn't it?
