People that talk lik dis wiv al da mad spellin n all actually have to use more effort to type like that. What is wrong with using correct spelling and grammar? I don't understand the theory behind it. You can change the language on Facebook to this stupid "language". It completely baffles me!
We go to school from the age of five. We learn to speak from, for some people, at the age of 1. We are taught correct grammar, spelling, punctuation, the basics of language! While there are numerous intellectual disabilities which can inhibit peoples ability to spell correctly etc and I don't deny this. I'm not talking about that. What irritates me are the people that choose to talk like that. Text speak is causing issues in schools, with students confusing the spellings and creating more issues for themselves regarding school and then college.
I plan on being a teacher in a few years and I hope that this phase has passed. I hate it. It irritates me beyond belief. It has spread into all ages now as well, which is worse. Why has it become so socially acceptable as well? When I send a text, it has correct spelling and punctuation. A friend sent me a text before and it took me almost ten minutes to decode what she was saying, with help!
Right, I'm very glad I got that off my chest!
