I think the original point to text speak was good. It reduced the numbers of characters used so that the thieves that are mobile network providers charged a lot per message. now that you can get SMS for next to nothing their is very little reason to do it.

However I think some people think they are cool 4 txt spk init.

I think most of us can forgive the poor grammar, we all make mistakes. However, text (or is that txt?) talk just baffles me. What is the point? You immediately alienate half of your audience because they can't decipher it.

yeah i agree, but txt speak came about because texting on phones had limited charecters or it cost you an extra 10p

so you compressed the words to fit more in.

but talking like that on a forum is pointless.

I love how you apologise for using capitals after writing the sentence in the evil text lingo

[Jabberwocky]

It used to save money and it also saves time. And it becomes habit forming. I have to double check my school reports to take out all the 2's ure's etc.

It saves time for the composer, not the receiver (at least in my case). Maybe I should take a course in text talk, if you can do a degree in Klingon then there must be somewhere I can learn how to sound cool.

What would be the point? Who would I talk to? There can't possibly be two people that sad.


EDIT: I feel the need to point out that I'm actually quite a big Trekkie so no offence to anyone who does speak Klingon

[Juliet P]

Oh, I bet there are
