Wow you cant have anything important in your life to get annoyed about thats all I can say, personally I think you are being a bit anal You are not the only one though as I know my brother feels the same way - he is anal and turning into my Dad more each day.
I dont like text speak but in a minor "what happened to the english language" way.
I do use LOL mainly because words on the screen can come across so cold I feel that, in context, it humanises my words if you know what I mean.
