I seriously dont get txt language. Sure, I *can* read it but surely it takes longer to think of how you're going to spell it?!

Just wondering how the the Chinese and other lauguages using Hanzi do text talk.

Is txt language acceptable in exams yet?

i think they made it possible a few years ago. would have been an instant fail when i was at school [left in 2002]
can see the effects of it at my main job, when being nosey and reading the "kids" units. none of them know how to spell. most of the kids are over 18, and its so sad to see so many up and coming drop kicks. most of them are only there cos winz makes them attend.

i noticed that on tvnz as well. took me a while to work out "ltr." its not like its saving them any space by dropping two letters, considering the txt version is 3 times bigger than it needs to be. pisses me off that they cover like, half the screen with whats coming next. like anyone really cares? just give me my fuckin full screen back!

I love it - it let's me know who the retards are when I can't actually see them wearing reversed baseball caps and pants halfway down their arses.

I seldom watch state TV but last night watched Close Up to see what was "in our bacon".

I was amused by the woman who was complaining about too much salt and fat in the bacon, but almost fell off my perch when she then went on to state it also had too much protein!

It's meat lady! Of course it's got fucken high levels of protein

I couldn't believe the extent of the public message propaganda that Sainsbury and the other tossers were trying to inform the great unwashed of. Off with the telly and on with Radio Hauraki

Edit: Oh and regarding text speak - if you can't be bothered spelling English, I won't waste my time trying to decipher the crap And the same goes for those that don't know the difference between there, their and they're.
