Default No text speak please!!

I have a complaint.....
I've noticed recently on the forum that the use of 'text speak' has started to increase.
For those of us of a certain age and for those (like me) who don't have (or want) a mobile phone it's really irritating.
You know the type of thing i mean. LOL 4 U and such like.
I really really struggle with knowing what some of this stuff actually means?
e.g. until a few days ago i thought LOL was 'Lot's of Love'.
Please make it stop.
BTW (that's by the way) my tounge is firmly in my cheek

the "z" rule

The z is really there to be fancy and for looks.
Sometimes words that are not and should have a plural forum will be made plural with the z rule just for looks and sound

I was bored so I made a list, if anyone has any I am missing please feel free to add to the list = )

So you are complaining that I am not using the proper vernaculars of the English language?
No of course, I am just teasing, I know that there is a rise in the infallible and blabbermouth methods of textspeaking, and I simply grin and bear it.
You can read what you may and I only read what I want to, like my old folks used to say. "If it's worth understanding, then it's worth reading."

LOL at the beginning it's annoying, but you will get used to it later on Sir Junkmale .

LOL means "LACK OF LAUGH", by the way.
