Bravo!!!! *applauds wildly* You've proposed a very eloquently-put and truthful argument. May I just say that it bugs the crap out of me when people type without any commas, periods, apostrophes or anything? I mean, come on why else would those keys be on a keyboard if not to be put to use??? I loved your... hmm... what would you call it? Essay? yes, thanks a lot for putting that up! I love it!!!! <3 -CAA

Yes. I tend to agree with what everyone else said. I write stories ALOT and even though I know what a few text words are, I would never use them in my school work assignments, and in my other writings. I too get very annoyed because I don't really know texting that much and I don't have a phone yet. . .I mean seriously guys, here's a little fact for everyone: NOT EVERY AMERICAN IN THE U.S. OR ANYBODY ANYWHERE ELSE, HAS A PHONE!! I'm sorry on the caps, but yeah it's true guys. But I do like to use text once in awhile, if I'm in the chatroom here. . .But I would never use text in actual conversations. . .Now that would simply make you sound dumb >.>    |

I happen to agree. If you cannot and won't bother correcting yourself, then consider yourself a newbie troll, because only they do that.  |

I can tolerate text speak when it's used in texting.... or LOLspeak, because it's funny. But on forums, I take that tiny fraction of time to ensure that my grammar, syntax and spelling are all impeccably correct. After all, why should I speak in text language if I am capable of expressing myself in full, correct sentences? What really disgusts me are posts typed lYkE tHiS!!1 I mean, did you type that steaming heap of textual dreck, or did your keyboard have an epileptic seizure? For f**k's sake, does EVERYONE on the god-damned internet lack grammatical education? Fragging troglodytes. Yes, I AM a Grammar Nazi. So much, that even a stray comma or apostrophe can get me slightly worked up. It's like a speck in the eye, grating on your sensitive retina, driving you mad with the thought of that tiny speck gouging deep wounds into your eyes.... I'm just glad there are Grammar Nazis on the net. I'm also glad that there are those among them who are ready to tear into someone if they screw up their comment. After all, if they can't type like intelligent people, then they shouldn't post at all, right?

Thank heavens. I totally agree with you Michiyo. People can really do better with taking a few extra seconds to type coherent sentences. I have a hard time taking someone seriously when they can't follow basic principles of grammar and spelling when they address me. Also, for gods sakes, why can no one ever bother with spell checking? Firefox has it freaking built in. |

Ugh... Text Language just annoys the hell outta me. I've never used it... even when I was texting a friend of mine ever ten minutes or so. Both me and my friend would take the extra time to actually fully type out words... and both of us had older phones as well, so there was a rather tiny limit. Multi part texts were common. XD I would absolutely HATE it if text language became common place in school. >_< Schools should not be teaching kids to butcher the English language. |

I totally can't read nor understand jomunga's first post... hahah~ Personally, I find it how it is contradicting that languages were created to improve communication between people and yet I always find reading those txt messages doing otherwise for me. And about Singlish.. all I can say is that it's a strange language to me. Still remember how some people were debatting for Singlish to be made recognised by saying something like "why can't we have our own language?" or whats not.  |

i use txt language in chat rooms (always) and sometimes forums (when i'm lazy or need to be quick). now i'm trying not to use txt language in forums. i admit, txt language didn't affect my english papers though XD  |

| Granted I do text a lot, I find ways to get my point across without resorting to txt language.. it's more about word choice and having the person you're sending it to know how you speak already so there is no confusion and things move faster. It's simple to do in any situation. I'll blame MTV, and the plethora of mindless teen dramas. |

"wer na u" "hir na me" hahaha! man I can't get that out of my head. I think it's Ok if it's used on cell phones, chat rooms or online games(chatting kills). but there still some stuff that really takes me a very long time to decipher(it's almost a new language). there was actually one time when the teacher asked my class mate to write some thing on the black board and he wrote using text, he sorta did it instinctively. about the tanglish its fine if it cannot be helped. I really hate it if they try to translate a foreign show to local language and then starts using tanglish 50% at a time.I wish they would just try to use the local language 90% at a time, then i get to enjoy watching my favorite anime in three different languages(sometimes 4 we have a Chinese channel that airs anime also, I just use my memory to understand what they are talking about).I find Animax dubs quite interesting. |

Well I can't really say texting is alright but when talking to friends and such, I guess it's alright so long as it doesn't become a habit. But as stated above, somebody said that it's okay to text on a phone but the psp has a texting layout. Is the psp an acception as the cell phone? And to the person above me, that better not be an Orphen siggy. (I typed this all on my psp... FEAR ME! ^_^

There was a recent bid to allow text language as permissible in tests. How inane is that?
If each mistake being made is a new one, then progress is being made.

I certainly agree with you there, I would prefer the words spelled out then abbreviated..'cause at times I can't seem to understand them. You can say I'm old school myself, prefer to be precise and straight to the point..no guessing games.

I find myself using "ur" alot. Because I haven't been at school for ages, or even write much anymore, i find myself reverting to text language. But it is highly annoying. My chav-tastic cousins use it loads :S

HAha.. You are so right. I'm also a filipino, and with regards to the taglish that I hate a little, this text language for one is what I hate the most. Even when I'm actually texting, I never use this coz it's too damn annoying! I prefer LOL, ROFL, BTW, WTH.. those stuff but I hate this text language. It also sounds dumb. To the extent that one TV commercial actually used a little text language, If you remember the one with "wer u?" and "*forgot what he said* na me". Although it's a commercial related to cellphones, it really annoys me.
