There's them that say that this is not good
sleeplessparadise:
people who I text always comment on the fact that I even use punctuation so I think you can definately add me to the "hates it" column too.
littlepow:
txt spk is wrong.
English is good, not USA English (just as bad as text garbage).
Just need to write more carefully, or get a contract with free texts!
Boggert:
I hate it too, my text messages tend to be long... My dad sent me a text from France in the summer and I didn't understand a word of it... I thought he was drunk, but he pointed out it was text speak :oops: and he is 66 :shock: :oops:
I guess I am mentally older than my dad! :oops:

My dad is the same! He texts me every sunday for help with his crossword and I have real problems figuring out what the heck he is on about. Oh and he is 67 :D

Predictive texting is only any good if the phone has a dictionary worthy of the name. My current one is atrocious and doesn't know a lot of common words :scold:

It bugs the hell out of me when using forums with spell checkers as inevitably they use an American dictionary. Funny how the Americans keep repeating a simple mistake:-k (don't mind me I'm just annoyed with import costs again)
