tbourner Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Most phones now have qwerty keyboards, and tend to spell check away from txt spk, I doubt that's enough to quash the growing trend though. They've had a few news stories recently about illiteracy and needing to teach older children how to write cos day spel fings ferneticly.

ubersonic Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 I doubt qwerty keyboards on phones will make a difference, "txt spk" as its now become know has been around a lot longer than text messages and was around before mobile phones even became popular with the "yoof", it was originally known as netspeak/wirespk aka the language of the internet and its not like computers were ever short on qwerty keyboards, its designed to save time when writing short messages on forums and in emails/games so the number of keys available is pretty irrelevant.

tbourner Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 I thought that evolved into leetspeak? Which is obviously cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham1984 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 I find Google Chrome is the answer to my own stupidity. I think that is one of the reasons why I like it here as it makes you actually try and engage otherwise dormant braincells. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tkddav3 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 aha to be fair "txt spk" makes you sound like a utter mong. a few people on my fb still use it. it just makes them sound moronic. my iphone doesnt even let me use text speak anyway!
