HmmmmmMany people on here reduce their words to text speak, which I hardly understand. Very few people speak without using coloquialisms, and the posts on here are really a cross between writing and speech. This means, in my honest opinion that some "slang" is acceptable.
I agree that Sarah Millican is very annoying though.

Slang, like swearing, enriches the English language immeasurablyI'd say. Id' be lost without terms like 'shirter' and 'helmet'.
Text speak, however, is an abomination.
