"Goddamn kids..Back in my day, we spelled out our words.."
Lmao, reminds me of the time my granpa called the X-box a G-Spot in the middle of Wal-Mart..

I always spell out my words when texting..I find it much hard trying to get all fancy with my words than just spelling it normally, plus, it's 10x harder to decipher it..

Exactly, I text just as I type here. I use full sentences and I spell out every word, since I use t9 it's really easy and saves me the time

I can't do it because then I'm more apt to misspell something and that really bugs me. With T9 I know if I'm spelling something wrong

I think if phones came out with spell check, people who write all funky would actually write normal..They hide their stupidity with abbrevations and symbols, methinks.

Agreed. Well, not all of them, but quite a few.

I am godaweful at English, it's the only subject i do at INT2 and I'm barely gonna pass that.
But I still make some kind of effort to talk in coherent sentences, regardless of how successful I am.

Really?That's surprising.. I guess it is true that you can make yourself sound more or less intelligent based on the way you type.

I'm bad at english in the sense that i don't listen to the teacher and i can't be bothered reading the work we're set and i am possibly the worst essay writer ever.

This is the type of argument that they have on talk-back radio and I hope everyone finds that offensive.

Personally I revel in txting with increasingly illegible sentences and using more and more ludicrous acronyms.

The only thing I hate is grammar, as long as you're not going into writing (or teaching english, obviously)and it sounds logical most people won't care.

I don't care for english much but my conscience doesn't let me take a break from still trying to do my best work.
