Yeah I'm surprised at how many people still use textspeak. If you still have an old cellphone, I understand. But so many of them have full keyboards! And if you're at the computer, then, well, I really don't understand.

Some guy added me on Facebook because we have somewhat similar last names (?), and one of his statuses read, "y do i always wnt what i cnt have but always push away wat i prolly need", and this was from a computer. I'm far from a grammar nazi, but come on.
