You know who they are....the ones on your phone list who send you a text that it takes 10 minutes for you to translate. You know, "ey, hw r u J/W wats goin on. avent hurd frm u ina yl. txtme bac! lov ya!" This is irksome on so many levels. One, they sound like an idiot teenager. If you are over the age of 15, you should NOT be engaging in this. Two, it makes them sound retarded. Especially when this spills over into emails, and God forbid, written word. There have been articles aplenty lately that talk about how texting like this is leading to high-school and even college kids using some of these abbreviations in TERM PAPERS. As if this current generation needs a reason to look/sound/be any LESS intelligent than us awesome Gen-X'ers!! So if ur dng this, pls stp. It mks u look lk a ttl moron. tlk2U l8r, gtta go!
IRKED!!
