Answer 1

Correct English is easier to read and understand. It does make you look like you can't spell and aren't very educated. I wouldn't take anyone very seriously if I saw "text slang" in the forums.

Answer 2

If you are going to post on public sites such as this, don't expect all of us to understand your slang, abbreviations, and secret codes. It may be alright to dumb yourself down with your friends (Lord forbid they think you have a brain), but don't get all bent out of shape when you "talk" that way in public and people criticize you for it.

Answer 3

It's OK if it is just a conversation with someone who can understand you. Otherwise, I just don't like it when people talk or write that way. For example, "I want 2 know why?"

Answer 4

yap. i do that once in awhile too. i'm good at english also so i don't do it all of the time. cheers.

Answer 5
