I could translate literally
but what it means essentially is "I am a stupid cunt"

I understand the theory behind text speak
because you're limited in space. However, I can't stand people who use it when typing and they have all the characters in the world. Further, why lengthen words ffs?! What the hell is tew?! Also, ov?! OV?! FUCKING OV?! *embolises*

My mum used to send me one-word text responses
As she thought she got charged by the letter.

hahaha
I tried to explain text speak to my mum because she used to send me 3 page long messages. She didn't quite understand it and now abbreviates words in odd ways. C and U are always capitalised. The word something is spelled s'thng. Cambridge is C'bdge. Etc. It takes me a while to decipher them.

Christ, you should read my housemate's emails
It's not that he abbreviates in strange ways or anything, he just types like a spasticated child in boxing gloves and doesn't bother to go back to check spelling or punctuation. If I have to forward them to people it's usually with the header "Translations available free of charge on request."

It is one of my greatest pet hates
I can't stand text speak even to save space - just send two texts, most people have more free than they can use anyway - but with email etc it's completely unacceptable. If anyone came on here and used text speak I'd, I'd, well, I can't think of anything remotely threatening, but, ooh, they wouldn't enjoy it, whatever it was

I'd make full use of the wide and varied facilities that the internet provides
To SLANDER THEIR REPUTATION.

Vicious
Remind me never to provoke you into a battle of wits. Or a barfight. I bet you go right for the knackers
