TVNZ's use of text language!

[boomer]

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.

Text language is unfortunatley a part of everyday life for those with cell phones. My Mother (75 this year) uses text words, very hard to figure it out at times, I think they are her own words thoughs, not the recognised text words.
Hate it or not, its something that most of us just have to adapt too.
Like when microwave ovens and video recorders were first introduced, possibly a little difficult for some to use properly to start with, but everyone wanted them and any difficulties were overcome.

Those that say...'' Yeah I texted him'' give me the best laugh...!

I like the simpler life to be honest, we still have a good working TV, years old now, but no desire to replace it. Our DVD player is just that, a player, doesn't do anything else, dont even have sky or any of that other wizz tech shit that is avaliable.
My cell phone is used for phone calls and txting, thats it. Dont ever use the camera.

Bring back Milk Bottles and the milkman for that matter!!!

Is that why you dont return my texteder's?.....
Na seriously...my phone hasn't beeped/rang once today, I love the piece and quiet. It costs me $45 per month (ON AVERAGE/CONTRACT) wouldn't have pre-paid one, those peeps always seem to run out of credit....

[Drunken Monkey]

Why can't people spell proper?

It's probably for the same reason they don't use correct grammar. I'm suprised BDOTGNZA didn't catch you out on that one.

Generation Y, we are here, deal with it you old bastards.

That is the one thing she is worried about (receiving a txt is out of the question me thinks?) plans on keeping her mouth shut, unlike her son....
