Okay perhaps the lazy comment as a bit overboard, but my personal goal to stand against and end txt lingo is never going to end. As far as I know there are no letter limits on posts, so use all the keys. In my mind every time we allow txt speak to exist it becomes one small step toward it being publicly acceptable, and it should never be.

But having said that, for the sake of this board, which I truly enjoy and have learned so much from, I will not dive into pointless arguments if I can help it. Its a remnant of my past board experiences I suppose. I am far from a grammar nazi, Lord knows I have a hard enough time spelling things. But, txt speak is not bad grammar, its a testament to laziness that is irritating to read. LIKE WRITING IN ALL CAPS. Not hard to understand, nor confusing, just irritating.

But this is me getting off my soapbox.

I agree.

I sometimes find it harder to write in "txt spk" than to use the language I know and use, English.

I don't mind "txt spk" so much when it's on my phone, but when it comes to forums, I would expect full spelled out words, only exceptions would be internet acronym, such as "LOL", "WTF", "QFT", etc.

Spelling mistakes are forgivable, "txt spk" I would agree, just shows laziness, and does make it hard to understand in a lot of cases. Some "txt spk" words are hard to figure out. Hell, I rarely use "txt spk" when I actually send a text message, I'd rather make sure I'm understood.

I'll only "get used to it" when the proffessional world, I.E. The corporate business world uses it in thier legal documents, which I never see happeneing.

About the pictures, cool hair, but that's about all have to say about that?

I'm usually gun-shy when complaining about either text-speak or misspellings, especially when I explain that since I read so fast, hitting that kind of thing is almost like hitting a speed-bump for your eyes. Wah, wah, wah, I know.

I'm not exactly a spelling nazi, but I am aghast sometimes when I see what passes for spelling and punctuation by adults these days.

I'm surprised that this has gone on for this long. 78 posts? She found here keys, she posted her pictures, and she's into 'text speak'. You mention adult spelling and punctuation but remember she's 16. Let her do her thing at 16, we all did. I have children older than her. This is turning into more of a 'chat' than a thread. Let it go!
