I understand if people never learned and they just don't know how. At least they try anyway, but some of what I see is simply text speak and that tends to bother me. I think text language is appropriate for text messages, but doesn't give people the excuse to use it everywhere. I have heard that teachers are getting essays with text speak now.
The other thing that drives me nuts-
I work for two mystery shopping companies. We send out emails about our shops. I get at least two emails per day, where someone replies to my email of a shop offer from a smartphone, but they do not realize that my original message will not be included in the reply. So the message I get look like this:
I want that shop.
Oh, really? Let me look through the 600 I have open and try to figure out who you are and which one you want.
