Text speak came about because typing entire words was fairly complicated when using a telephone keypad to do it, but now we have auto-spell which can change those abbreviations into full words.

I'm not an English major, and I'm sure that my grammar is probably terrible, but I often try to think about what I typed after I type it, which often leads to me deleting posts before I actually post them, but this time I couldn't help myself.

Not going 2 read this post b4 I post and u get a chance to read it.

100% agree. It gets even worse when someone speaks in text. I have had a couple people actually say LOL to me. I just shake my head. Please take the couple extra seconds and use real words. It is really hard to read with all those number abbreviations.
