I do use text speak when I'm texting as it's quicker when talking to my DH on his breaks.However I use full words when typing on a keybord.
That place is just odd, it actually made my eyes hurt, so I switched the damn tickers off. Unfortunately I can't switch the idiots off that inhabit the boards.
I think it could be catching if you spent too long on there.
Wotcha rekon hun. lol. xx < shudders from actually typing that.>
