Do you have any thoughts on the matter?. Would be the long-form way of writing your question.
People communicate in many different ways these days and it is a wonderful example of how humans can adapt and understand communication quickly.
Although it can be annoying for the purists among us.

I agree that diversity in communication can be a good thing, but do you not see this as 'dumbing' down our language?
It's not exactly Queen's English...

Actually a couple of centuries ago the nobility used to abbreviate in a txt like fashion when writing letters. Simply to save space on expensive paper. It can be seen as dumbing down but also as an adapation of modern language. The guy who wrote that app review however does need a good kicking from some English teachers.

I'd be horrified if I were an English teacher today. Some of that 'txt' speak actually uses more characters than the correct spelling.

I think it would be pretty funny if that reviewer was actually pretty eloquent but had a fucked up iPhone covered in maple syrup that made it difficult for him to type properly. Poor, poor syrup phone.

pretty funny its actually harder to type like that on the iphone because the autocorrection won't be working, that shows just how stupid the kid is
