People who drone on about hating text speak are in the same category as opera buffs and fine diners. You just need someone to look down on.

I'll stick with S.O.S when im in trouble.

You can say.

Dear Coastguard,

I am writing to inform you that my vessel has struck an ice-berg and we are indefinitely delayed mid Atlantic.

It would be quite helpful if you could find it within yourself to assist in some manner.

Perhaps you are able to launch a rescue party. The ladies are panicking and have so far punched the facking lights out of any gentleman who attempts to so much as put a toe in the liferafts. All jackets have been seized by one BBW who is at this moment stitching them together to cover one breast.

On second thoughts....... hold that launch we are all dea..........

Next time you apply for a job,or fill in a tax form or need a lawyer, use text speak and see how far you get. Yes there are certain phrases that are commonly shortened, your example is one of them. eg. is another, but they were being used long before text speak. Personally, I think it's laziness, nothing else.

I'm inclined to agree. Doesn't take much to stick a couple of vowels in so it makes sense and gives your message fluidity.

My step-daughter uses extreme text speak in her Facebook updates and I honestly can't understand what she's on about! I can only get the gist of the status by picking out the odd single word and piecing the meaning together.

She's a lovely girl but comes across as a dip-shit in her messages. Such a shame.

You know what, i'm not a huge fan of text speak i like people to show some form of intelligence in their messages, but when online i always say LOL or ROFL(MAO) because i'm not going to type it all out because yes.. i am lazy.

but i don't think that you can be lazy when you have to think of what letters you need to take out of every word to make it as short as possible,,, that takes alot of thought and dedication to the cause i think... so from one very lazy person who dislikes text speak i would say its nothing to do with laziness.

I dislike text speak where it isn't needed but i'm not ready to denounce users or fail to see that it developed for a reason.

You'd think it was hard to do , difficult to understand and that someone had invented it just to be a bastard.

It has uses and i'm glad I can use it when it's needed.

I use lol, at the end of a sentence as well, I think it's a lot different than using text speak AS the sentence. But hey, some folk use it, I don't, some folk like it, I don't. Thank God we are all different.

I won't complain if people send me a message in text speak, but don't expect me to read it, lol.

It was acceptable when we had the old Nokia-type phones where the number of characters you could use in a single text was limited, but there is no excuse for it now. It comes across as lazy and arrogant and trying to read it gives me a headache. - Any messages like that are treated with the delete button. (And yes, I know I'm a hypocrite for using "lol").
