Text Speech

Ive noticed that text speech/spelling has grown more popular in recent years, in general writing as well as on these types of forums. For me, this is a bad thing. Im not being a snob, its just that its hard to read and often incomprehensable, making no sense at all.

Some of it is completely pointless- is it really that hard to spell 'you' or 'are' instead of 'u' or 'r'?

Maybe I dont like it because I have never sent a text?

Im only 24, so Im not an old geezer moaning. I suppose Im not a fan or a user of it because mobliles were not as prevelent as they are now when I was at school.

Its having such a bad effect on youngsters spelling. Ive even heard of people using text speech in their English GCSE exams!
It seems to be getting worse, and I dread to think how children will be using it in 10 years time. Maybe the kids will grow out of it?

Does anyone else feel the same?
