Am I alone in this?

well woopy doo for you!

fair enough, make fun of my post which had little punctuation etc

I write entirely differently in web forum's, text messages, and formal documents that i write

I would suggest a new paragraph in your essay at "It makes.." which would have made your post easier to read

Wot I wrote

You are a prig... but I do this as well. Only because I have a sony-ericsson P910i with touch screen and handwriting recognition.

How come you have had only 3 skiing days this year when I have practically had to ski to the letterbox in my village?

I hate text speak. A friend of mine is an english teacher in the Manchester area. She showed me some homework she was marking (I think the pupil was around 14). Most of the essay was text speak. Absolutely awful!

Back when I was a kid, a snooker ball and a good throwing arm always sorted kids like this out!

You can really do this? I could never change my entire writing style just based upon the target environment. In fact, it wouldn't even occur to me.

Change the rules: classify text speak as an acceptable creative form of the language. Srtd LOL.

Who's laughing?

When I send text messages, I dont use predictive text and I write all words longhand and use capitals and punctuation.
I treat it the same as if I were sending an email.

Does anyone else do this or am I a prig? :

I'm with you Pogle. I specifically bought myself an Xperia so I can write my SMS messages even more proper like!!
