I admit that yes, I do use text speak -- when texting. However I would never consider using it in any form of business communication!

I was horrified when I attended a writing class where the instructor spoke of a published author who wrote an entire novel using SMS text. Even newspapers these days are filled with spelling mistakes and misused words. I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one saddened by this. Maybe there is hope for the language after all.

In fact, my friend and I hold a little competition each semester for worst email sent to us by a student. My favorite so far was from a guy who was perfectly nice, but cursed all the time, and sent me an email with a f*#@ing curse word every other god#*@ word. I still have it. BTW, can't wait for your next book!! I’m Graduate Instructional Assistant (GIA) and I teach undergrads in lab, so I completely know where you’re coming from!
