Spud55 Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 it's a load of ********, complete and utter drivel, and a bane on internet forums.I can just about deal with it in texts, but it takes longer to work out what in the name of god they are saying, than it would for them to just put it down in english.I don't use text talk, about the only one i can justify is using u instead of you.

Gerry Gows' Tash Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 Don't see the point of it - how much longer does it take to write "Later" as opposed to "l8r" !! It's ######wit for use by idiots only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Man In Black Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 If you use english then you would have used a capital at the start of your commplaint.If you use English then you would have capitalised 'English' and spelt 'complaint' correctly.If you're going to be ironic at least make your ironic comment factually correct...

Guest The Codfather 0312 Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 Its what i was banned on the forum for..Since then i havent really used it unless actully textin! We all know that you are fond of your text talk Ben. When talking to you on msn I have to strain my eyes to understand what your saying even though I use it myself but ya take it to extremes.I think people use it as when you use it you can fit more into a text. Like in the old days when you could only send one text at once so you shortened your words so what you had to say fitted. And its just stuck really.

annanimo Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 It doesn't really annoy me, but I don't see the point.In a text message, yes, of course it makes perfect sense to abbreviate everything. But otherwise it is completely pointless.The English language is great because it affords a freedom of expression, and text messaging narrows the range of expression significantly. Therefore it also narrows the range of thought. Text messaging might be fine for letting someone know that "i wl c u l8er" but for discussing the artistic qualities of Bristol City's football it is entirely inadequate!"Textspeak" is not really easy to understand either. Especially if people don't use punctuation marks. Why not just write in English instead; you know, that language that almost 30 per cent of the planet is familiar with?
