"Needless to say, I had the last laugh"Celebrity autobiographies are filled to the brim with self-righteous tales of smug oneupmanship. So, forget you had any shame, grab a coffee and a croissant, and tell us your smug tales of when you got one over somebody.

So by the same tokenwill you accept txt spk as perfectly acceptable written English?
It might be what young people choose to use, but that doesn't stop it grating.

Don't get me wrong.I hate it when I hear British people saying gotten, it doesn't change the fact it's making a comeback.
As for text speak as written English, you'd be surprised- or maybe not- how many of my students do exactly that. It's getting to the point where I can't always be bothered to make them change it.
