Did anyone see the article recently where it was proposed that some Shakespeare plays should be rewritten in text speak as it would appeal more to young people today? ie 2b or not 2b etc etc [yawn, chav emoticon]

i have to say i translated the title as 'to think people very arsed to the use of text speak' vr=very rct=arsed

Ooooooooo you lot can be terribly snobby

hi UCM XXX

i didn't see that LL i saw the RCT and couldn't figure it out so i said the letters out loud! Say them fast R C T....arsed!

Yes you are

Txtspk is the Philistines at the gate.

Harrumph.

I don't like it because it's hard to read. If I click on a long post which is entirely in text speak I click straight off it again. I tend to do that if it doesn't have any punctuation and is really densely written with no paragraphs/spacing too. It's just too much effort to decipher it.

Hate text speak. I simply not bother reading most, if not all, posts that are done in text speak. Makes it too hard to read quickly and I just can't be bothered.

I don't use it in texts or anywhere else. Since phones have had predictive text there's no need, as it doesn't save any time and is actually more complicated to switch between letters and numbers and all that.

And when people use it on message boards it just makes them look a bit of a tw@.

You can use text-speak on here if you want but the truth is that 75 per cent of the people reading your posts will JUDGE you as a bit dim.

I dont, as a rule use txt speak, but out of habit I do abbreviate 'you' to 'u' and 'people' to people' adn thats abotu it! and am just sick of being pulled up for it!!

*ppl

'When in Rome' and all that.
Well, we Romans do not like/tend to use textspeak. If you do, even just a tincy-wincy bit, you will be pulled up for it. Other sites are less judgemental. But not so much fun.
So type your posts in full (typos are allowed though) and quit moaning. Or defect.

Oh and psml at your abbrevation of 'people' to 'people'!

Get used to it, 90% of people on here hate loathe and detest it.

Oh dear Dabbles, must we spell it out to you? And no, it's not pretty legible either

but itsnt it double standards to have mn abbreviations but not any other??

Acronyms are different. [stubborn]

Dabbles why are you arsed???
I type with dots thats me..cant be arsed with proper grammer as what I want to say comes out quicker than I can ytpe it.

I'm getting old.

The world is going mad. I just do not get text speak. It makes me cringe (sorry to the OP)

nemo............have you scrubbed your child yet
