I can understand using Text speak when texting, as space is a premium but why use it when you have as much space as you need? I think it is chaotic and confusing mostly , but i am old and a misery!

Phew! I thought i was alone in my rantings!
Im worried that soon youngsters wont have any grasp on how to write properly without using text speak and so much of it is ridiculous and may only reduce a word by one letter!
Its bad enough that most of or yoof cannot even speak properly! I swear down?!!!

What the fuck does "I swear down" mean ?
I don't think it's a case of soon, mostly they can't write properly now.
I reckon some of the younger members on here the exception rather than the rule.

I have no idea mate! The other one i love is where everything is "like" sumfing and is used every third or fourth word!
Your right its not everyone but it is in the majority from what i have seen and heard, it does worry me that our Language both written and spoken is being butchered.

I could've said that Sooper said language with a capital "L" which was wrong but I wont.
You do speak the Queen's (?) English even when texting, Babe.
So does Effel, pretty much.
Tis a teenage disease.

Yeah i do have a very bad habit of putting capitals where they arent supposed to be! My boss often returns my mails to me pointing this out. I cant help It!
As a kid i would only write in capitals as i thought it looked much neater and was easier for others to read.
I will try checking my postings before clicking on the Post button!
