THIS topic is capable of generating often heated and always lively discussion so I present it with caution! I have been invited to speak on the topic of textspeak on radio quite often and each time the audience response has been surprisingly diverse. It is safe to say that generally 'proper English' is seen as the chief casualty of texting. What is textspeak? It is the range of abbreviated word forms commonly used in text messaging. For me, textspeak commands its own place in the communication landscape. (What? She has lost her mind! I hear you say.) Textspeak has its own set of grammar rules and functions perfectly in its own domain as an enduring and repeatable form of language Via Charles Tiayon Delete the scoop?

Everyone talks about speed and figures -which is just fair for companies, alright- but what about the pleasure of translating something yourself? Personally, I find translation much more rewarding that editing, unless the text is extremely ugly and repetitive...
