'bbe' is babe.. some people can't be bothered to add an a..
I hate text talk.. OK maybe when I'm trying to send a big message to shorten into one message istead of 2 with about a word on the other text (10p a text!) I might slip a few in but IMO it's common sense to type English.
some people moan when they see immigrants speaking their own language, it's like text talk is a whole language on its on. Maybe people I know that don't like immigrants speaking their language are text talkers.

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. 
Try having a look at this Angela, has helped me out once or twice! http://www.sms-text-guide.com/sms-text-language.html

i really dont get text talk. it was designed for when you were limited to 160characters per text. but now you can write an essay without opening a new text and most people that do text alot have a lot of texts in there bundles.
mmmmm.....
which one is easier to read

(Danny, it is 'I have' not 'Me has'   )
I has 2 ....as a few of my friends have found out and now I can send long texts with real English! You think my essays on here are bad you should see my texts  !!
Seriously though, it does help....especially in my situation where I dont see people much and am often too tired to talk to people on the phone, so sending someone a text just keeps me in touch and also lets people know that you havent forgotten about them - that means a lot .

I have been in that situation as well!
The other thing I find when students write into work is that they write how they speak...
This is an opening sentence that I remember from two years ago
"Deer Sir, Madem,
I have like lost my student fare card somewhere like..."
I honestly was shocked!
I would like to add that
