Chatterbox: Down to Earth

"txt" Talk

"txt" Talk

How does everybody feel about the level of Text Talk on the Chatterbox? Do you want to use the text phrase "ppl" instead of people and so on? And what about numbers as substitutes for letters? Personally, it's kind of annoying, but.... I want to know what YOU think! Write your answers here.

But I actually don't mind when other people write like that, because I find it quite easy to read.  I just don't like doing it myself. :)

I agree Kenzie when people go complete overboard on text talk like that but I also thing the occasional abreviation is OK.

I do use text talk when I'm texting and emails and on Facebook. But here....I feel like most people on here like regular talk, so I use it. On my phone I sometimes have to type quickly because I'm somewhere with a friend or family and then it's best to type quickly because I don't want them to think all my attention is on my phone. But when I'm home and have all the time in the world, I usually text long things to people. 

I went to a health class this summer and my friend had a folder with different text talk on it.

Anyone wanna figure out FYSBIGTBALR?

It's something I can't even imagion someone wanting to actually type out because it's the most pointless thing ever.

Find Your Sister's/Brother's Iguana in Ghana Talking to Big, Affectionate Lee the Bear.

I dpubt that. For some reason, it was just the first thing that came to mind... Which is somewhat odd.

I think text talk is for lazy people who would rather watch TV and not play outside!! But an occasional slip of the type is okay. I think not capatilizing is not as bad as y'all say!! I think it is okay... occasionally!!
