Come hither all those who hateth text speak

[onetiredmummy]

I wish to be unreasonable & share this with you all.

(Hamlet, Act Three, Scene One)

"2 b, r nt 2 b dat iz d Q
Wthr ts noblr n d mnd 2 sufr d slngs & arowz of outrAjs fortn
R 2 tAk armz agnst a C f trblz, & by oposn nd em?"

"To be, or not to be: that is the question: / Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer / The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, / Or to take arms against a sea of troubles / And by opposing end them?"

I have two teenage daughters who never use txtspk unless it's ironic. They'd rather send two messages if the message goes over 160 characters. Yes, I'm very proud of them. :)

My teenage son and his friends never uses text speak. They do use a lot of abbreviations though.

e.g IDC for I don't care, which is a bit like MN.
