Text-speak just seems rude to me. Like people can't be bothered to speak properly.

I'd love a couple of tiers of management for my fucking.
One for decisions on broad strategy: timescales, targets and positions.
And a sub-manager for guidance on specific thrusts and minute-to-minute encouragement.

So do I.
I even punctuate and use capital 'I's.
It's mildly tragic, but I can't help it.
