We are in the process of planning a high school reunion and we have our own group of 100+. One of the people trying to stay "relevant" shall we say types in "text" words, such as ne1. b4, every1. It irritates the shlt out of me. I'm seriously trying not to say anything because I don't want to start anything, but for fvvcks sake we went to the same high school...she's making me feel stupid reading her posts.
Re: Small FB Rant
Oh that sucks.
In semi-related news, I feel giddy when I read stuff like that. It makes me feel THAT much better about myself.
Why do people do that? It's so much effort! Are there rules for which letters to capitalize and such?
I hate text speak...I hate it on TN, I hate it on FB, I hate in texts...I don't like it. At all.
*disclaimer: LOL, LMAO, and the like are not included in that hate.

...I had to delete a hundred times to get that right, because it just felt wrong and I kept messin' it up, haha. I'm a spelling/grammar nazi, I can't do text speak. Lol is one thing... "U" or "r" is completely different.
I seriously did not know that! It all makes sense!
All of this! It's scary because my dad started texting about a year ago and he uses far more text speak than I do. To the point where I actually had to look up a couple of his abbreviations.
It's big letter than small letter HOWEVER, if you do a lower case "L" and an upper case "i" it looks like "lI" which looks confusing.
