I cant spel is dat a crime?

If it is understood it is therefore correct. Spell cheek is so easy though so why not use it.

Wel I fink dat txt spk iz da wrst fing eva! U dnt no wat ppl r sayin and u cnt read a dam fing! Seriously, whoever chooses to write articles and stories in text-speak is just showing their own ignorance. The silliest thing about it for me is that It's meant to be quicker to type, yet it takes me much longer to read properly! Surely that defeats the whole object? I can accept things like "LOL" and "LMAO" every so often, but if the whole message is written in txt, I'd rather stab my eyeballs with a fork. Another pet hate - the amount of people who write "loose" when they really mean "lose".

I am very particular with spelling. I do sometime tell me family members to spell it correctly if texting or e-mailing because it makes me crazy to read , understand and analyze the thought... abbrv. really destroys our memory.

Not a crime just a little annoying in large doses.

Yeh, i agree with you on that one. I would have thought that if they are writing an article that they would at least use the spellcheck feature before submitting it. As far as I know most computers have this feature.

I think it's okay to write short hand or txt talk but if you're writing an article online or as you said T-Diamond, information in a forum - spell checking would be excellent. I think that eventually people may lose the capacity to spell altogether. The frequency with which people use abbreviations is alarming. Also, we shouldn't always rely on spell check to solve the problems either. Even though it helps.

Hi again, I agree with you. I would rather skip such articles as they make no sense and there is no fun in reading them. Looks like people are getting more and more lazy now a days, though today we have facility of spelling checker available, and even if you write fast and make mistakes, they will be auto corrected.As for me I hardly use any short cuts.....I prefer to write in details.

That's one of the disadvantages in using cellphones and in texting a lot. I also shorten words when I send text messages but when I write something, I always make sure the spelling is correct. I have a ten year old nephew and he's already texting but I dont encourage him to shorten words.

I find spelling and vocabulary to be very important. It is essential to possess these two skills or you could risk expressing the wrong message, having someone misinterpret you or reduce the appearance of your intelligence level to others. I use txt talk a lot, on facebook, my cell phone and IMs like Yahoo, but never in a professional email or anything like that. I have been in several spelling bees and can pride myself on saying that there aren't too many words that I don't know how to spell or don't know the meaning of. This is very important in all fields and all careers, so a person that cannot successfully word what they are saying has a huge disadvantage.

I absolutely agree with you..some time its quite annoying to read such sentences eventough its just a mere comment. To be wrong in spelling is another story, because at least you tried to write in a propper way but misspelled the words. This kind of writting may spoil the beauty of language.

i dont think so because i cant spell worth a damn eirhter so i dont think its a crime you know so best thing i can tell you is keep do your thing but i dont know i think that qusteion is for somebody who like to read storys and magzines so i keep give youthe bset i deal you know but you take care any way

It's not a crime when ur talking to your friends but buissness wise it will look really bad and try might judge because of it but all you have to do is know when to use it and not to hope this helps
