I'm Currently Feeling: | Well,I'm 18 and I don't like when people use text talk...It annoys me,makes messages harder to read and I just simply don't see the point in misspelling words...
Dyslexic people and people from other countries should learn to spell correctly through messages.There is a difference in accidentaly mistaking the spelling of the word and doing it on purpose(God knows which one). |

text speak and mis-spelling are two different things |

There is a huge difference between "LOL" and "BRB" and "ei fink ei luvs mi bruver".
Each to their own, but it bloody annoys me! Takes ages to translate it | Yeah, I'm the same. I find it so difficult to read that I usually just give up.
Punctuation doesn't bother me so much. The Other Thing I Find Difficult To Read Is Capitals Where There Shouldn't Be  |
