A few weeks back we were talking about how teenagers spell when they are online. I was just posting something on my niece's fb and one of her friends wrote her a message including the words:

u cud (you could)

ur (your/you're-this was used several times)

sugesst

der (there)

gud luk

I could barely make out what she was saying because the spelling was so bad! (or should I say "i cud berly make out what she was sayin coz de spelin wuz so baddddd"

    My 15 year old sister's FB and MySpace pages are like this.  It drives me insane!

    It's not only the teenagers.  I know a 42 y.o. woman who has a FB page with the same atrocious spelling.

    One of DH's hockey players said "pritty". I publicly told him that spelling was important and that girls like boys who can spell. I probably embarrassed the hell out of him but I don't care.

    He probbly got all kind of comments..."who was that biitch correcting your spelling?" "My coaches crazy ass wife".

    I admit I use the ur sometimes when texting.

    That other garbage however, is just a mess.

    even my 13 year old sister refuses to use text speak. the sad part is my mohter does use it and i constantly have to respond to her texts and say 'what did that mean?'

    i especially hate when the abbreviated word is only 1 letter shorter than the actual word.

    oh and not only is sugesst horribly misspelled, it's the same number of letters as suggest.

    And how is 'wuz' and quicker/easier than 'was'. That one drives me nuts. I too throw out the ocassional 'u' or 'ur' when texting, but wuz? No. Unexcusable.
