Do you find text short hand annoying?

After seeing a few people making threads lately that are a bit hard to understand with text short hand who finds it annoying? I know we all do it at one point and sometimes it's called for but I mean really it does get old.
Me too I hate it. When texting i'll shorten the occasional word but anymore than that and I cant understand it!
Mr, too.

It's annoying, especially on a story site. But as Ms Emily Litella* might say, "Just consider the source."

I don't use it. unless I'm quoting someone or I'm in the IM thingy i much use "u" instead of you. but i VERY rarely do that.
Umm... I could be wrong but isn't this a interactive site not my cell phone right?? *Looking around* I am in the right place right...Cut it with the text language... I come to this site to read not to figure out what people are talking about...But again that is my opinion for what it's worth...

Hi all, Virgin poster here....lol

I agree the texting language can get annoying here. Now legitamate "typos" are a different story. It's understandable to have typos with alll of the one handed typing that goes on around here ....

Agreed.
I can't stand text talk.
wow i never though you are really annoyed with text talk... i usually use it when I'm on my cell. I'm an addict texter before I knew Lush and entered into chats here, that's why somehow and unconsciously used it in the chat room often, but I try not to do that anymore on chats and in forums .

it's making me forget the right way to spell words longhand is better to help me improve in spelling
The only two I like or use is LOL or LMAO. I find it necessary, especially in the chat rooms to show you are joking or find something funny.

But if you are not use to text talk, it takes awhile to understand what someone is saying. I had to reread Nicola's post about 2 or 3 times before I fully understood it

I'm that way with everything she says. It's her accent. I just smile and nod my head and pretend I know what she's saying.

This as well, kids are growing up not knowing how to spell properly and I think thats a damn shame
And then they can't/won't read a book, MM.
