How do you type on MSN, e-mail, when texting etc?

[clairey-s]

I always use full words and sentences, abbreviations annoy me (although I do say 'lol) - it actually takes me more time to think of the short version of the word than to just type it (I can touch-type pretty fast *pride*) xD

I touch type, I can use txt language but I prefer to write the whole word, horses for courses and all..

Never use text speak - it's lazy!

the only text speak i use is R and U and 2. I find it really difficult to read when i get "proper" texts" My son is awful but that extends to msn as well as texting.

I find it amusing when a text ahs been sent to a landline and the phone rings and says there is a msessage for you. Its automated and i laugh when it tries to translate my teenage sons friends texts into an audible message! It comes out as a load of nonsense!lol

I despise text talk for a number of reasons:

1) People get so used to using it that they don't realise that there using it. For example my sister in her recent essay she had to write. She had U's and 2 all over the place and didn't even notice.

2) People forget grammar. Like people write "I is" and stuff.

3) People forget how to spell.

4) People forget punctuation and the use of capital letters.

Ppl hu ryt lik dis rly annoy me. It's plain lazy. It's just as easy to write like this in just about the same time, it gives you good practice with the keyboard and English in general. If you take forever typing full... then learn how to touch type. By the way, I'm 20, not some 45 year old having ago at the young.
