Quoted from KingstonMariner


Thought the true art of text speak was dying out as it was needed for an interim technology (using alphanumeric keys on old mobile phones) as opposed to using touch screens with qwerty keyboards.


I thought that too, but a lot of lads at work (who are significantly younger than me and have never heard of a Nokia 3310) write stuff like 'cya'.

I'm like totes u wot m8.

Another annoying Americanism that has now crept into the English dictionary is the use of "z" to replace "s" in words like "specialised".

Weird innit. Must be some sort of fashion for the 90s. My kids abbreviate a lot of stuff (like ‘k’ for OK, which is obviously too much to write) but not so much text speak - even LOL is gone because of 😂


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Noticed this on the vid of the newly renovated Cheapside which has a ‘authorized personnel only’ sign.

Great thread this by the way - from two obviously balderdash rumours to grammar in six pages.

So ……  😂

You’re spot on - it seems to be a way of slowing down a deliberate answer to a question - to consider the answer -so as not to mess the answer up.
