Are you getting old if you don't do text speak? In my case it's because I don't understand it. My Godson included BTW in a message, he cracked up when I asked if that meant bring the wheelchair. Then again, I am somewhat naive about abbreviations, hadn't a clue what MILF was, quite shocked when it was explained. There was me thinking it was a: Meal I'd like to forget. When Godson got my message about BTW he sent anther back to me. ROLF. This too had to be explained, I told him that he forgot the suffix CGUA. It beat him, I'm not surprised, I made it up. Told him that Roll over laughing on the floor should be followed by: Can't get up again.
I've never sent or received a text in my life, and I doubt that I ever will. I have, however, sent and received telegrams, which had their own distinctive system of coded language. MSG RCVD PROP OK PLS RSPD COLL IF NCSRY

While I do send text messages from time to time, I only do so in proper english. I refuse to stoop to text shorthand of any kind.

Either that or you are young and cheap.
You know you're getting old when you stop talking about the times you took acid and start talking about how many times you have to take antacid. :hippie:
