Me too. I even make sure that the punctuation is alright, too. Texts take forever to type, which is why I hardly ever do these days.


Do you think that this is something that just affects us "chaps of a certain age"?
Ahem!!!

The last time I looked I wasn't a chap

I also loathe text speak and lazy spelling. Maybe it IS a generation thing.............we all belong to a generation who were actually taught correct spelling, grammer and punctuation. Apparently, when marking exams these days, marks are NOT deducted for bad spelling Not sure how true that is, but it wouldn't surprise me, the way exams have been dumbed down.
