I know its a REALLY picky thing, but I cannot stand people who send me messages like:

alryt bbz wot u up 2???

Anyone else find this a little bit annoying and i just think it comes across really badly?

Hate it here too and one of the reasons why I don`t send winks. But I do like smillies because it can really alter the tone of a message, especially if it`s toungue in cheek and you don`t want to offend!

Absolutely hate text talk, I find I go a bit dyslexic trying to read it lol

I had a 30yr old message me recently and it was a real put off it felt like I was having a conversation with a 12yr old!

Agree with you. I definitely prefer people to talk properly. Leave the text speak for the mobiles. It just looks a bit chavvy.

I find it a bit off putting too, but so long as they dont actually sound the same as they do when they text then I dont mind too much...

It doesn't bother me at all as I simply delete without trying to decipher: problem solved!

I really do not like it, I find it very child like....Text talk is for sending a text on a mobile phone where space is limited, not for sending mails....just my tuppence worth...

really agree with you there about smilies altering the tone of a message, its hard to get people to understand you properly just through text

Dont like or do text speak and other forms of"rape" of the beautiful rich English language. Would not go as far as saying that I would not ever reply though...

It probably will bother the sender more than it does us, because we just delete the message without giving it a second thought.

Job done !

I just treat them like a Suduko puzzel and try to decipher them, lol. Sometimes I can do it in ten minutes, lol, but more often than not, it helps pass the odd hour.

Thick fucker I am

Nope, it's called having a preference and if someone is too lazy to write properly then what would they be like as lovers?

Did you call the OP childish for disliking txt spk too?

There's much to be said for text speak. It's one (not the only one) easy way to out people you wouldn't wish to meet under any circumstances.

Yes we hate that too... Puts us off wanting to meet them because you think they are not going to be able to hold a decent conversation!
