    I have to agree with you. I can't stand the way the english language has been *******ized. If you want to use texting language then get a cell phone! btw icsyb, say what?

    I don't even use text-talk when I'm texting. It bugs me that much. I'm okay with simple things like "lol" or "LMK" but most of it is pretty annoying.

    Text talk what is that. I don't even have a cellphone. I really must be out of the loop LOL. Sorry to bother you but that has been getting things not to do. Text talk on dates etc. which is considered rude, but people are doing it.

    I can't stand posts that utilize texting language or the like. If I have to decipher the post, I'm not interested.

    Text talking (or "net-speak") will be the downfall of America. If you ever check out any of the bulletin boards (especially AOL) you will be amazed at how poorly people spell. Why? Because they don't get any practice. They say, "I M OK, U?" and "R U Go w/ BFF? I M 2" They simply butcher the langauge. Teachers even report kids handing in homework written in text talk. What is next a text talk version of War & Peace? (on the plus side it will only be 10 pages long)

    meh. i don't really use text talk unless I'm on msn talking to my friend ashtaway (cause hes a dropout and cant read ). I type out my works but like to use abbreviations like LMK and CMB and WTTF etc just because its easier.

    I personally hate when people send me 10 cards they were interested in, and they are my Top 10 PC cards. That annoys me so much.
