I couldn't do real text speak, it drives me crackers trying to decifer it.  I can text no bother at all and I'm quite fast but I don't do text speak and I don't do predictive text either - my sister thinks I'm nuts  :005:

I'm the same, I'm actually faster typing the stuff myself than using predictive text.. everyone thinks I'm mad  :005:  and I can't use text speak either, it just looks wrong! If I tried it I'd end up deleting the message and doing it properly... I even use apostrophes etc. in texts  ph34r

I run a livery yard and one of the owners is a 16 year old girl who sends me text messages quite often.

She might as well write to me in Serbo Croat for the amount of sense they make!  I always end up phoning her to ask what on earth she was trying to say!

Personally I despise this text abbreviation - I may be a daft old fool, but what's wrong with the Queen's english!! (IMHO) OOOh!  did I say that!!! :005:
