More on text messages
My friend's next-door neighbour is single, and recently professed an interest after meeting me last year just after her break-up.

When my friend suggested I give her a call I did, but when she then sent me a text an hour later it contained "u", "c", "2nite", "wud", "cud", "txt", and "no" (for "know").

That's when I knew the relationship was over.

Aaarrgghh!
This makes my blood boil. In my experience, people who write in 'textspeak' tend to be divided into two categories: people who think it's 'cool' and 'sexy' to forget how to spell; and genuine thickos who don't know any better. Either way I want nothing to do with them.

N.B. people who genuinely have trouble spelling or even who are dyslexic are excluded from this definition, as they at least make the effort and in 99% of cases spell better than the above example anyway.
