20 years into the internet I am still holding out no hope whatsoever looking at L33t and Txt speak :P

with the new predictive text, text speak (Gr8) is very quickly dying out. it's the new speak that's rising up on places like MSN (LOL, LOOT, ROFL, OMG) that worries me. I actually know someone who say's LOL and ROFL as if they were real words. it doesn't give me great hope. an entire generation of kids learning their language like that. we can only hope for the best and try and stamp it out.
