See, I can understand the use of text speak
When texting. It kind of makes sense. It's generally easier and saves characters. But when conversing on line using a proper keyboard? FUCK OFF!!!!

Text speak drives me crazy
unless it's absolutely necessary. I don't use c, u and r as words, but sometimes I'll put pls or ppl to save characters if I can't fit everything I need to say in one text. I hate when people text back with "kk" as a reply.

Lots of people use Facebook on their mobile though
so it's a natural extension. Not that I condone it - daughter knows I won't reply if she writes in spk.
