Why use it when you have a full keyboard in front of you?

Rowley Birkin QC · 03-12-2008 06:07PM

Using text speak on a full sized keyboard indicates both stupidity and laziness.

It can also sometimes be next to impossible to read.

zuchum · 03-12-2008 06:07PM

because it's the lowest of the low

mikemac · 03-12-2008 06:07PM

If you can't be bothered to write it correctly , I can't be bothered to read it

Help us to help you

Vic Vinegar · 03-12-2008 06:08PM

It's lazy and it looks disgusting!

Fratton Fred · 03-12-2008 06:09PM

no matter what the poster is saying, text speak makes them sound like a 14 year old uneducated chav.

and it is ****ing annoying.

towel401 · 03-12-2008 06:09PM

Bob the Builder · 03-12-2008 06:09PM

And it's called 'txt speak' for a reason.

some of us simply dont use txt talk, handy and cheeper if using it txting, not an issue when you have a full screen, keyboard, and no limit on the number of characters you can use

KnifeWRENCH · 03-12-2008 06:10PM

Some people find it very difficult to read. And when you have unlimited character limit and a qwerty keyboard, there's really no need for it.

When I started posting on Boards I did use txt spk quite a bit, but when I realised some people get really annoyed by it I stopped doing it. It's not a big deal - just keep the txt spk for texting.

Penn · 03-12-2008 06:10PM

textspeak was a necessity to allow people to write a message without using too many characters, thereby exceeding the character limit for a text message and making your message cost extra.

This is not a problem on computers

kthxbye

Imagine if someone was to start speaking to you, knowingly and deliberately dropping individual syllables or leaving out words entirely. Would you want to talk to them?

Same ****.

MagicMarker · 03-12-2008 06:11PM

Because it makes you gay.

Words are like making love to a beautiful woman. You must love them completely and use their glorious bodies to their full potential. Taking letters away from words is like bringing a lady to bed and ejaculating before you even get her socks off.

beautiation · 03-12-2008 06:12PM

Cos writing good is your frend.

What about adding letters? Is that like growing an extra penis?

admiralofthefleet · 03-12-2008 06:18PM

I usually ejaculate regardless of socks on or off, just not a priority for me.

Objecting to the idiocy that is textspeak does not make someone a grammar nazi.

I knew my s-s-s-s-stammer would s-s-sssstart to make itself useful one day.

galwayguy22 · 03-12-2008 06:25PM

I genuinely can't read / understand text speak.

I always use full words in text messages and only resort to removing some letters when trying to squeze a slightly too big message into a single message
