While overuse of text speak is annoying, I don't mind the odd lol or rofl. In fact, I think it's part of a healthy evolution of the language.
What REALLY grinds my gears is the use of bloody awful spelling, punctuation and grammar by businesses. McDonalds is the absolute worst for this - for a start, it should be McDonald's, "i'm lovin' it" should be I'm loving it (really winds me up, that one), and it's not a bloody "drive thru" it's a DRIVE-THROUGH!
No wonder kids have a flippant attitude towards spelling.

Hate it and it is so annoying, the fact I do not understand is bad enough xI have been browsing a few of the threads on here, and have noticed quite a few posts with wot, wat, u, carnt, aint etc. this type of talk really grinds on me. Posts with bad grammar, punctuation and spelling, and especially text talk just annoy me, and are a HUGE turn off. Does it bother anyone else or is it just a grumpy old man thing ?
You are not on your own there @Lace i haven't got a clue what half of it means, and i am sure i am not going to spend half the night googling urban dictionary site'sHate it and it is so annoying, the fact I do not understand is bad enough x
Totally agree with the tread but as a dyslexia sufferer I relly on spell check although it doesn't always work whereas looby is fantastic at grammarand spelling so please make allowances,to anybody following us it will be obvious who's posting the reply
My pet hate as frequent report writer and reviewer is not the abbreviations or the text speak but the bullshit used by managers to make themselves look intelligent. Oops did I say that out loud (think inner voice Looby)
You so know where I'm coming from. XHaha 300 words to say something you can actually say in 30 . . . Sir Humphrey Appleby syndrome
Slightly to one side of the topic (yes I hate text speak) but I had to share this. Even a university educated matron didn't see why this was wrong... in a Wigan hospital!
