I absolutely ABHOR text talk. Yes, I use some in IMing and such, but only in moderation. I can count the number of shorthand with one hand, and it shouldn't be more than two hands at all. I especially dislike having to read text messages from my relatives in the Philippines, because having shorthand on top of a language I don't read well is especially frustrating. There, text talk/shorthand arose more from necessity since they wanted to say as much with the fewest amount of messages, which of course is understandable, but I see more and more that native Filipinos can't even spell or type correctly on the computer, which of course is unexcusable considering there's a full QWERTY keyboard. And even here in the U.S., that's also an issue, although certainly not to that extent. Many of my friends have started to prefer predictive text (thankfully!), but one particular friend for instance is stubborn about using his RAZR's iTAP (which considering it's Motorola is understandable), and thus uses text talk, which in turn results in text talk in his writing--even essays! It's absolutely horrible! I definitely agree! I absolutely ABHOR text talk. Yes, I use some in IMing and such, but only in moderation.

I’m not buying that argument. As a kid, I used to write notes to friends that used a lot of short hand and picture messages. I can write reasonably well today. The ability to know when to use quick and dirty writing versus formal writing is just as valuable of a skill as knowing when to talk slang and when to talk formally. Kids are smart and if they are taught the difference they are not going to have problems switching from one to the other.
