I think text speak is fine for....well...texts! However when you're writing a letter you're not restricted to cost per word/letter or time spent on it, so why use text speak for that?

Again, I despise text speak used in forums such as this, I always presume, probably wrongly, that the poster is some acne ridden, sweaty oik of a teen, and 9 times out 10 I lose the will to live long before I've finished trying to decipher the post.
lmao Boo!... sorry, I meant 'good one Boo...very amusing...'
BOO my sentiments exactly!!!
punch u ......, hmm, yes that's a good idea.
There's an argument that even with fractured ungrammatical writing like yours it can still be understood, the meaning still comes across, and that's usually true - some people then go on to say, so why need proper spelling and punctuation? My answer is that as with anything, it keeps your mind sharp if you observe the details; and most people will assume you're thick if you wilfully ignore spelling and grammar. Which could hinder you in various ways if those people are making decisions about your future. There's no getting away from it, it does make the person seem a bit of a thicko.

Which takes me into a slightly different area - the notion that being thick is okay. There is a definite culture of "thick is good, clever is bad" at large. And I don't just mean in schools, where intelligence is often deemed uncool or swotty - it continues into adulthood with some people.
what is punch u ation? do you mean punctuation?

backdrifter and boo are correct - if you cannot be bothered to write a proper, coherrent sentence then i cannot be bothered to answer you.

and contrary to what many teenagers think - it doesn't look or sound cool, it just makes you look like an eejit.
though if that's the impression you want to give then it's fine

joko im far from an ejitt , and for someone who wasent going to answer my question you wrote two paragraphs .about not answering my question im not a teenager either, and there is no need to be calling me names ,its not big and its not clever
i was talking about your posts in general - some will avoid them if they are badly written.

I wasn't calling you names, i was saying that writing that way makes people look like and eejit - and it does - you included.

the fact that you are not a teenager is nothing to be proud of - it just makes your dreadful writing skills seem even more terrible.
i gave you an answer to your question - as did others - if you don't like the truth - tough shyt
