Do people rly uz txt tlk in txt msgs? I ask as it is all over here today. I just use predictive text. It is easier and helps me spell. I have never used text speak nor have I ever recieved a text with text talk in it (unless you count that one time my dad wrote me "2morrow" that was creepy. Had to yell at him, stop picking up tips from your students 
) The only time I've ever seen it done is on the internet. Am I hanging out/texting the wrong people? The bad crowd? I'd actually imagine text typing to me much more difficult. I know I'm not creative enough to figure out what two letters I can use to replace a full word.
Or maybe I am just old. The pharmacist who is only nice to elderly people has been getting friendlier every time I go in
Ha, your identies are not safe in this poll either.
