I had no problem reading that, it just LOOKS aweful and annoying, yet I can still read it fine, it just looks a mess.

Where as sms, I didn't know it had a name, but reading stuff like that, I REALLY have to slow down and look at it more carefully to make sure I read it.

Anyone else hate.....um... is it 'Sims'? Or you're talking about this form of text, hell yeah.

I REALLY hate that. When people use words like 'bie', what IS that? You're not even using less letters so 'wye' are you programming yourself to become dumber?

Whats really weird too about that, I mean just look:

ne1 = N E 1= anyone. So you really say exactly what you see. But whats this?

h8

Doesn't work the same way. You don't say 'ehche eight' You say 'huh-ate. Hate!' And what the heck is SMS?

Yeah Ls is stupid too, because its 'else' not 'ell ess'.

So if the rules don't even apply to all the words, then, it just doesn't work. No way. It's also totally pointless if you have to take your time to translate it as you read it.

Generally a spelling mistake comes from a missing letter, a wrong letter, or an extra letter. This doesn't work in any of those situations.
