Text speak and other, what you might call "not proper english" is here to stay and will become accepted as correct.
English is and always has been an evolving lanquage.
Shakespear is considered to be one of the greatest ever writers of the english language yet Doesth thou speak olde English?

Ah, the olden days of good grammar and spelling:-

When I was flying in the war I would write to my girlfriend thus:-

To my "best gal"!

I say Pippa old thing, had a wizard day today! Took the old kite up to 15 thou', saw a 109 at 4 O'clock, dived and poured lead into her. Jerry was having none of it and got on my tail and I took a round through an oil line.

Well, I did a corkscrew but the old girl was chuffing out oil and I headed for blighty. Came down with a helluva bump and sent ground 'erks a-running. A wizard prang old sausage, but yours truly is in one piece, so you'll be made up about that!

So I'm sat in the mess getting a roasting off the "old man" who tells me I should look after 300mph of Hurri' more carefully. Still, getting a Spit next week so that's bonzer!

Well must go - the lads are piling into the adj's MG to go down the old watering hole - keep the home fire burning old thing! (Hem, hem what eh?)

With "dang and a bing bang spillip" as we used to say in the quad at my alma mater ...

TTFN!

I find it amazing that the dictionary in my mobile has all these abbreviations already in.

No wonder kids think it's 'normal'.

I suppose it's no different to words of my youth such as 'Fab' etc.  It just comes across daft to me when adults start using these text abbreviations.

I am not a big fan of text talk. It is a sign of how little time
we are willing to give these days. (awesome for the illiterate)

It reminds me of when that whole Ebonics thing was
trying to get pushed here in America.

I guess black people who have been here for 500 years
needed a different version of English. I figured it out in a
very short time 

Silly

They need a more scientific name for text speak. Maybe
we'll get a bunch of protesters to gather around the White
House and demand it to be a recognized language....

Leave it to the US to lead the way...  :

Welcome to Cleanitup Paul M;

You think having English spoken in North America for "500 years" would be long enough for folk to learn it? Over here we've had English spoken for over a 1000 years and the general quality of it, both written and spoken, is dire.
