[QUOTE="Sweet3x, post: 88283, member: 8101"] I put it down to youngsters today having free and easy access to mobile phones and text messages being the norm to contact people. They don't even consider they don't have to use it when typing on boards. Using short words saves time and space on a text message, and it's basically the norm - they would be different if they didn't use it. I rarely use 'text speak' when sending messages, although have been known to use '&' instead of 'and' and 'u' instead of 'you' if I only need to reduce a few letters to get it to one message rather than two. It's an age thing. [/QUOTE]
