Grammer seems to be a mega problem with the young'uns these days. My daughter is intelligent, so doesn't do much of the text speak, and neither do I, I will sometimes in a text if I'm in a rush, but other than that I use english. Lately I've seen people use this sort of text talk....

I don't get it, why add extra letters to an already perfectly spelled phrase or word. I was talking to S about it, and she said she won't use that, but may use text speak if needed. She said it sounds like you can't spell, and she likes to be seen as clever.
What worries me, is if she goes up to senior school and becomes a stupid thicko drone.....Her Dad said I should have more confidence in her to make good choices, as that is who she is.
See kids today are not as savvy as kids once were, they think boys, make up, knives, gangs and who can hit who, is the way forward, I refuse to let my kid get like that, i want her to go to college, and to be told she is gifted by the school....really gives me a sense of doing things right :)
