I guess we have to admit it is a generational thing.
I am now one of the "old fogeys" which means I can understand  or 2mrw in English and kib or kanka in Turkish, but anything more advanced leaves me wondering what on earth they are talking about!

I do admit to using text speak when I text (sms). Mind you,some of my friends´ messages are so abbreviated it´s quite a challenge just to understand them.

I expressed my opinion-you are entitled to yours,incişka. But it still drives me crazy!!
Well, I wouldn´t say it drives me crazy, but it is annoying crass and inelegant.....but they will probably grow out of it. When you are young you try to be very in the "now".

My fear is that the users of this type of speech will never learn to spell properly.
