I hate all the Da, Dat, kind of talk- and it takes me ages to read it!! fair enough shortening some things but it takes the P!

 

[kim & Tilly]

I think it started because text messages cost so much so people used a shorter version to cost less

It is a bit annoying though

I think you remove all the vowels ?? :wacko:

Yes for those who do not use texting it can be difficult to understand.

I have found sometimes I try typing so fast that I miss out/type the wrong things then read the post after and think 'stupid mare'.

It’s good for texting, but not for a message board.

I’m sorry but I don’t read some posts where text speak is used.

[meddling]

Yea! Bring back proper English - I text a lot but always do it in correct English :- " :lol: :- "

 

[pepa]

I don't understand it as well :blink:

but people do say I am a bit thick :- "

 

[hellybobs]

Must admit, I don't like it either.

Am I the only one who still texts using real words then, instead of text talk??

You can add my name to the list.

Or is it. I find that the trouble with writing is there is no tone.

You could read a sentance ie What did you say. and it can be read in at least 2 different ways ie in a quizzical way or in an irrate way. This is when posts start to get a bit frought because people read things in different ways. I suppose thats when the smilies/emoticons help.

I hate it too. :angry: It encourages and promotes misspelling (misspelling can't be helped, we all do it, but there's no need to actively encourage it) and I often wonder what our overseas members must make of it. I can't imagine they can understand it at all. :wacko:

I know this isn't strictly text speak, but whilst we're on the subject (sort of) has anyone looked up the actual meaning of the word, 'hun'. I know it's short for 'Honey' and is an Americanism that has crept in as a term of endearment, but I really hate the spelling of it :b

I've probably offended a number of members now, but I had to get it off my chest!
