all my texts end up 2-3 pages long, its hard enough to get a message across in a text, even harder when its abbreviated, after 2 texts each way I end up calling the other person, I hate texting something will always goes wrong.
text speak and terrible spelling

I'm the same with msn. Feel so impersonal I always end up calling if it's important.

It's a hard life, aint it? Having to read things that are misspelt... Eeeeeh! I don't know, If my Sidney were alive he'd be turning in his grave. That's if he didn't die in the war. In the trenches at Ypres he were. Lovely funeral, he had. Loved a good funeral did my Stanley. Sidney? No, it weresn't Sidney, I were married to Stanley... That's right, Stanley. Got that hussy from the cinema pregnant. Had it, an' all, the hussy. She were never short of stockings in the War. Or American's c0cks, come to think of it. Filthy weather we're having isn't it? Someone should do something, but they never do, do they? It's the immigrants I blame. I don't mind the immigrant's, they work like the Indians. Eh, I was reading in the Daily mail, that they's proved a link between them immigrants and cancer... Well, I'm not so green as I'm cabbage looking, but if one of them immigrants tries to give me them cancers, I'll give him the old one two. That's right, my Stanley or Sidney was the Navy boxing champ. Taught me a move or two. Especially when I'd burnt his tea or not ironed his collar. Had a terrible temper my Sidney. That's what I miss most about him. horrible man he were. You'll never guess what I heard abut that Maude Kerbishley..... She's got herslef.... what? A clit ring? At her age? Eeeeh, well I never.....
liked that a lot very good! reminded me of that old fast show sketch of the guy who ended all his stories, I was very very drunk , oh and the good old Viz!
Totally agree Kat, people can go 1 of 2 ways, traditional or follow the future, there will always be a place for traditional hence the reason some nugget thinks reading a mid summer nights dream then writing about it is clever.
I kinda agree with Kat (even tho her post actually was playing both sides lol)an the way forward is text speak, i type it as its said although i am not keen on daft stuff but i honestly think in the future nearly all countries will go for a text speak kinda english and this will become norm, in truth i can speak (not so much type) a few languages but 1 thing i know for sure is that they all speak to a certain extent english so let them do it!!
Once 'english' is established as a common language (to be fair in thanks to the yanks) then text speak can and will become norm plain and simply out of lazyness, lets be honest here who stands up walks over and presses up repeatedly on the sky box?
NOBODY
So lets be lazy and a new hybrid language will follow
