I kind of agree, I do find it annoying at times, but I use it to abbreviate often - e.g. atm, LOL. I'll also make it blatently obvious I'm using it when somebody writes something really stupid or ignorant, for example I might type like this...

Can we get back on topic

The original purpose for text speak in short message texting was because people were restricted in the number of characters they could use on a mobile phone.

That restriction does not exist here, and text message speech was banned a long time ago, especially as some could not understand what was being said.

From the Forum rules

j) We do not allow 'text speech' to be used on the forum. Text speech was designed for mobile phones, not online communities. Please read http://www.thisisbigbrother.com/forum/topic29297.htm which will give you more details. Also, we do not allow posts written solely in CAPITAL LETTERS. Not only is it annoying to read, it disrupts the flow of the forum.
