Anyone else dislike text speak in first message?

I hardly reply when I receive them.

Not sure why, just annoying.

Me too, if someone is prepared to do a shortcut when introducing themselves what else will they cut corners on?

Just on the first message?

So you don't mind text speak for the second and on?

I would rather not use text speak as much as possible, sometimes fall into the trap of a quick shortcut

text speak just show laziness and lack of intelligence people are. Shakespeare would be rolling in his grave.

Never really took the conversation to the next message. So the answer you require I suppose is a No.

Very annoying!

I like clear to read messages.

The odd lol is ok though.

The content of the massage is far more important to me. But I must admit I would find it off putting. So not a deal breaker but could well be an early indication that person wasn't for me.

We hate text speak to the extent we don't usually meet people who use it.

Even as the lesser messaged single man I still find it irritating. But possibly because it’s because I am actually ancient.

We hate it in a message. If someone messages us using it they get blocked. For us it shows a lack of effort

I don’t understand a lot of text speak, to the point I’m asking questions as to what something says.
