I would never do that, n'or am I defending those who might but the odd word here and there or even using symbols when on a forum just doesnt bug me!

ha ha, u'd be suprised what you can find online. Posts and posts of chav talk.

Most places i use all flame (errrr sorry, umm take the micky, just a little) out of anyone coming on, especially newbies, with text talk.. Mostly they don't come back, or, they change and type normally and everyones happy, till the next one...

I am actually one for bad spelling and grammer. Not becuase i can't spell, but because my fingers have a tendency to type slower than i think. The most commen one for me is the.... or as i seem to spell it , teh..... Damn fingers..

Usually find one or two mis-placed letters, or more

ahem I believe text talk is banned, you might want to check that one out with Dr Rich

Did somebody mention something about a band?

I hate it. My sisters kids regularly try to communicate with me via MSN. Having tried to have a conversation with them and couldn't I gave up. I don't even bother to reply to them any more. Sad, but I just can't be doing with it.

If that wasn't bad enough, they have a special icon for different words. Unfortunately it seems that every other word seems to have an icon instead of the word. Makes trying to read a bloody nightmare.

I seem to remember a news piece a year or so ago about someone who wrote their entire GCSE English essay in "Text Speak Language".

AND, the examining board couldn't do anything about it as it's now forbidden to mark a paper down for bad spelling or punctuation

WTF?????

What is the point of doing the exam then?

Anyways, my 2p is that if you are texting on a mobile then it is justified as the amount of characters used has a direct correlation to the amount of cash in my bank account. Using it on a forum is daft as its quicker to type the normal word, in fact if your text message isn't too long it's easier to use the corrects words because of the predictive text thing.

Which means that the only reason that it still exists is probably because the kids that use it cannot actually write English properly.

I use predictive texting on my mobile as I'm such a poor speller - therefore if I shorten anything the mobile gets confused, so it's not worth it. Only one I do use are C U.

What does get me is my daughter sends so many one word texts to her friends, yes, no, why. Why on earth spend 12p per text for one word?????? It doesn't make accounting sense!!!
