Reading through these forums is really hard work.

spkin bout tlk lyke dis

.... about ... like this?

i like lol and gg they are about the only ones i know, the rest goes waaaaaaaay over my head and i just type LOL hopefully that gets me through.

lol

just ask them what it means if you don't know

most teaxt speak doesnt annoy me but some words do like dat, dis, ere etc, im ok with the...r..u..but im too lazy to make my sentences grammatically correct and punctuate them as this involves me pressing more keys and therefore using more energy and calories which isnt good for my beer belly...haha im j/k i dont have a beer belly

i neva tlk propa, i tlk txt cuz its fstr...u no wot i mean? sum words r a bit weird tho....i do it 2.....itz,iz,ov,mi. Stuff lyk that, itz completely pointless cuz ther iz the same numba ov lettas in da word. hu agrees wiv mi?

I'm sorry, I have no idea what you're talking about.

We need a translator!

Haha! Afey, you ought to go on a typing course! I'm a fast typer, so can therefore concentrate on punctuation and grammar!

(Oh, I can also type without looking down at the keys!)

Show off!

yea you show off!
i type about as fast as my parents! lol
not realy, for every word they type, i can type about 20 and im a pretty slow typer lol

yea i can touch type too! so? :P
i can do bout 80-85 words a min when i'm doin work :)

The question is, do you touch type real words or tx wrds?

Touch typing tx wrds is sooooo 2004.

haha, depends whether or not i'm typing a text message on a mobile phone ;)

YES! Text speak should be banished to text messages only.

Maybe we could have a text speak forum for all you guys to get rid of your urge to text speak all the time, leaving the forum to us upper-class typists to type in peace.

Having said that, it would only really leave me, nick and phase!

How do you learn how to touch type?.........do you have to go on a course?
