Text Speak?

[Remordere]

Do you use text speak while texting? Do you hate text speak?

I usually don't use text speak, except of course when I am in a hurry. I like to spell my words correctly and grammatically correct. Though sometimes when I am lazy to text, I use acronyms or shorten words. When I am being silly with someone, I sometimes use LOLSpeak, usually with just my GF though.

I personally hate those jejemon text. It just irritates me, I feel it is an insult to my language.

of course i do... with friends...

business .. of course not. full sentence.. all grammatically correct.
although I find myself retyping many times, because I am so used to text speak in sms. because it is mostly with friends.

I use it every now and again, but mainly only when I need to write out a long text, shorter ones I type it out myself.

The only problem I have besides it's grammar is that with the swype keyboard, the text speech takes a couple seconds (1-2 seconds) to load, which I know is relatively short but still feels like forever. I was used to the textSpeech on the default keyboard coming up very quickly....

eh, whatever, I can deal with it

I use it only when texting, I am able to revert back to correct British English easily tho
I'm in another forum where most of the Indian SC/SE Asian members with less than 250 posts insist on talking in their messed up txt speak, its not just shortened!
loads of 0's replacing zeros, typing with ALL CAPS or RaND0m cApS
sigh
