OMG I h8 txt lol
As usual I will be the awkward one.
I dont like texting, might use is occasionally for short stuff like 'B there at 7pm' but never have back and forth convo's by text, if I want to tell friends/family something I SPEAK to them, maybe thats old fashioned of me.
BUT
Some bits of 'text speak' I do use on forums as seen, TBH, OMG, LOL, WTH etc simply because everyone online understands them, they save time and space in posts. I dont see how this is any different to ASAP, PS, PTO etc which were used in letters long before texting was created ( So sorry Texters, you did not invent Acronyms and abbreviations ).
So pros -v- cons of Text Speak
Pro's
Speed
Space in posts/texts
Con's
Loss of ability to spell/punctuate by people who do it all the time
Some people actually use it in face to face convo's, I heard some idiot say 'LOL' when talking and thought well clearing you're NOT laughing so...... ???
