I don't!
Same here :/ the only type of text I use is lol and that's it and that's only because if I say that's funny it looks and sounds strange.
What's sxc and bbe?
Nothing makes me more annoyed when people spell "you" as "yu". It's like your saying "I'm not a total idiot and I don't use text speak but at the same time I'm too lazy to add one letter." I don't mind abbreviation on long words but on short ones it's kind of pointless and if everything is typed like that it's a massive headache ._. Then again I can't really talk as my typing/spelling skills are appalling.
It's really weird when people use text talk in real conversation. |
   
A very special super, duper thanks for K :3 |

I corrected my daughter's spelling on Facebook of 'Gawjus' once....you can imagine her reaction  !!! Luckily I have a couple of friends who are also friends of hers and they are always picking her up on her grammar and spelling - in a fun way that she likes....cos its not her mum doing it!
Sta~ple - sxc is sexy - bbl is be back later and bbs is be back soon....but no idea about bbe

Dont stress about it JJ....just occasionally a few of our older members  get a bit stressed about this type of thing! Just their age showing ! Your posts are sometimes a bit difficult to make out but always worth reading !!
There has been a few posts made recently that have been virtually impossible to read - cos of text speak and just not trying to write properly  ....now that makes me mad (and not a lot makes me mad)!
In this day and age stuff is spelt differently and some of it is ok - I use 'cos' instead of 'because' and will also use lol...and when I text will use text speak but will try and spell proper words properly!
What we have got to remember is that sometimes people post in a certain way because of certain reasons - but others do it cos they dont give a damn and cant be bothered to type properly !!

I very rarely have difficulty readin many posts actually, in fact even if things are consistently spelled incorrectly it doesn't bother me in the slightest.
When an entire sentence gets cut down to about 5 words each one containing no more than 4 letters, THEN it gets irritatinghard to read. |

My husband put lol at the end of an email to a female work colleague and she went MENTAL. She read it as 'lots of love' instead of the 'laugh out loud' he meant it as. It's easy to misinterpret electronic communications when you don't have the person's facial expressions and body language to back up their meaning, that's why we have emoticons to help. Shortening stuff that doesn't need to be shortened just adds in that potential for misunderstanding imho.
(imho = in my humble opinion). See, I'm not really THAT old and can use some limited text speak. In fact I've had to learn it since being on this forum. Quite a lot confuses me but I find if I wait someone else will probably ask what it means. I worked out sxc, never heard of bbl and bbs and still no idea what bbe means . |

Our brains are actually able to work out most words no matter what order the letters are in if they are the correct letters.......

THINK I have worked out that bbe must mean baby....which seems bizarre to me as it is only one letter more and then you could spell it correctly - but I am probably totally wrong!

LOL Kellog, love the last posting re Cambs uni!!!!
I tend to use a mixture of both, although if push came to shove I'd be old fashioned and use 'proper' words. I think a lot of the time it depends who I'm talking to.....if it's my younger friends I'd use text-talk more.
This could turn into a good debate, maybe it should be started from scratch as a new topic |

Sorry blackecho 
Can I ask if anyone can tell us all what the text talk means, i.e lol = laugh out loud, for the benefit of our older members who may not be quite so up to date on these things? Thank you.  |

| text talk in general was previously used to put as many words into one text on a phone as possible, generally by removing the vowels. for the most part it is difficult to read. lol and lmao and words like that were more widely used on the internet in chatrooms and such. so text talk is more likely to look like "c u l8r bbe" persoanlly i mix mine up but if someone speaks in all text talk it woulkd take me a long time to figure it out |

| I hate it when my mum texts me and she uses text talk. It results in me asking her what the hell she put sent which either results in being sent the exact same message again or a "nm". It drives me nuts. I wonder if people send their CV's in text talk :/ I know some people have started using it when writing exams :/ |
