robotfactory Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 ^^this. I get annoyed when any "texting shorthand" is used. I text people just like I write, with actual words and punctuation. hankmurphy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
collectivemike Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 See I don't understand the you - yew switch. It's not shorthand, it's literally the same amount of letters, it just makes people look dumb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 whenever I start texting someone new... whether it be a guy or girl, I judge them if they use text speak. I hate that I do it, but I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Also, I've never seen this. But yes; I think it would perplex me more than it'd anger me. At least at first. whenever I start texting someone new... whether it be a guy or girl, I judge them if they use text speak. I hate that I do it, but I do. This is more than fair. Intellectuality [and even the presentation of it through writing and texts] is a huge deal for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

collectivemike Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I don't judge if the words are abbreviated for a reason. I don't use "4" for "for" (woah) but if somebody does it doesn't bother me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I get annoyed when any "texting shorthand" is used. I text people just like I write, with actual words and punctuation. Same here. It aggravates the shit out of me when people text me shorthand. My idiot brother does it all the time. Examples of his grammatical idiocy: U = you plis = please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronniegwilliams Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I once broke up with a girl because she would text "your" in lieu of "you're". She knew I'm a writing major, yet still chose to irritate me via text. She also used faaaaarrr too many emoticons. 2moreinches 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 people who short hand are fucking morons. HOWEVER... has anyone else noticed that a majority of the people they know who type in SMS are the last people youd suspect? maybe this is just a coincidence in my case, but the only offenders who come to mind are intelligent and successful people. i can almost guarantee that if you text me "hey wut r u doing 2nite?" you are not getting a response.

ronniegwilliams Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 I do; however, get batshit crazy when I end up sending a Stephen King length novella, only to receive "k" in return. I often have to remind people that there are more letters within the alphabet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
controlthebleeding Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 i'll be the first to admit, i use "u" instead of "you" or even "4" for "for" (sometimes). that's pretty much it. i'm old and lazy. i'd irritate all of you. but that' ok because i irritate everyone in real life anyway. juan, you must hate me.
