I am a big user of shorthand texting, usually because i have lots to say and no time to say it in !!!!!!!! Ooh! Sh*t. Just how much trouble could I get in just for HINTING at the vaguest prospect of a suggestion that using lots of words is...... No. Way sexist; dude!

very brave mr isihac !!!!
why use several words when only a few letters will do ?
you can buy books on the stuff you know, they tell you what the abbreviations etc mean.

I generally use proper english... admittedly when drunk predictive text gets the better of me, and also my fingers seem to get larger or the damn buttons get smaller and it's hard to get the right combination of letters in the word you want... but I still don't resort to txt tlk!

I apologise if i have offended you roofless, it was not intended.
some of us are more refined than others, whilst even others are of the opinion that if you are going to use full words, you might just as well make a call.?!

Ha sorry no! I hadn't even gone onto the next page, I was defending myself against the nasty people who think one or two messages that don't make sense and you're automatically someone who never sends anything in english!
