Your views on Text Speak

What are you views on text speak, is it killing the English Language?

I hate text speak, when people go 'R U OK? I GR8' is just stupid.

A few years ago this was very common on the internet. Now I hardly ever see it. Have to admit some words I do shorten like that in text messages.

I never use it even when i am texting as i hate it
and lucky for me my kids do not use it when texting me

I don't use them when texting, but I tend to do those in the internet instead xD
Still it doesn't affect me that much.

*Am I saying it right? xD*

I use it maybe once, on the chatbox on storywrite. Sometimes just by accident XD

Txt spk is killing language, i use it alot but its bad

I hate reading it. I'm always going over a post twice to make sure i've read it correctly. It shouldn't be allowed on forums in my opinion.

I dislike it generally, but will on occasion use it if I'm rushing to type a message or in a chat room some times.

Well, if it's on social networking sites or forums then it's stupid but if its on an actual text message then no, I don't really care

Hmm, I never heard of text speak

Maybe I should Google it
