    I knew txt spk had gone too far the day I saw at work, a young fella's application for a job with 3 txt spk abbreviations in it. His application didn't get any further incidentally.

    I fully agree.

    We have a vacancy at work right now, and I can assure all that if any applications are not written in correct english, then the applicant will not be successful.
    Time to ride

    I don't agree with this.

    On my phone, it takes about 30 seconds to write out an entire text, grammar, spelling and punctuation all good. Seriously, there's no exuse. It's plain laziness and fagortry.

    Wither (no h) = to shrivel up . Whither (with h)= where are you going ?

    (hither - I am going here thither = I am going there)

    Take as much as you wish. English is a damn odd language. I left out withers = a bit of a horse (no idea what bit, someone will know I dare say)

    That was a very timeous apology, thank you
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    yeh, txt speak sucks. i find it hard to use even when txting! LOL. usually only leave out letters that are on the same key [ie, ketle instead of kettle] cos im too impatient to wait to add the extra "T". use it as little as possible, and never in names. make them a template and just add them that way, seems faster.

    the really happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery when on a detour.

    switched that off ages ago. spent more time deleting letters i didnt need [txting a friend called heather, it would keep adding an "S" at the end.] easier this way.
