I fucking HATE text talk! I don't mind the odd abbreviation or eve nthe odd mis-spell of a word : like "tho" instead of "though", I can be found guilty of doing shorthand "slang" of stuff like saying "that sorta thing"

But thats a reflection of the way we talk, so it's like phonetic typing more so than text talk....

I hate when you see a post thats like;

alrit how u guys doin i wanna no ow much dis part will cost 4 me car, av no idea if it is dah rite part just fink it cud b. wha u guys fink of ma escort, is gud. I goin ford fair, ne of u cummin. c ya

Fucking hate that

The only things I use, other than a few shortened words like "tho" is net abbreviations, the most popular of which you will see on here like;

LOL = Laugh Out Loud (use this for when someone says something funny)
PMSL = Piss My Self Laughing (see above)
ROFL = Roll On Floor Laughing (see above)
ROTFL = as above adding "The"
IDK = I Don't Know
AFAIK = As Far As I know
IIRC = If I Remember Correctly
WTF = What The Fuck

And this smiley --> actually means laughter - as in crying with laughter. Not to use when someone says something sad.

Good Example;

"What do you call a dog with no ears? Anyting you like, he can't hear you"



---------------

Bad Example; When NOT to use!

"Sad news today, my dog was run over and died. I'll really miss him, he was my best friend "



---------------
