sorry to interrupt your arguments! in my opinion it would be better to allow text lingo users as long as it is understandable. like me that has the strong sense of understanding, i can easily understand lingo languages except those who are using acronyms like SMS, BTW, WTF, WTH and ETC. these must be on the top prior rather than text lingos. a simple question to the topic starter, aren't you using text lingo's in cellfphone? it looks like your so persistent writing a long messages in texting if i am not wrong!
